Todd Murphy is that bloke who works behind the bar at your local who changes his hair colour regularly and that you’re 98% sure is 100% gay.

But he's also a serial killer.

Deadset looks like he hangs around a low level university dispatching co-eds

 

[Loose Cannon]

Murphy going ATW to right handers is an interesting ploy. Maybe trying to straighten one down the line for lbw without finishing my sentence looks like stumps has been called for light or rain.

He's already being infected by baldness

Yep, probably needs to think outside the box.

 

[Twizzle]

Cant see us batting again, SL have been disappointing

[Shaun Hewitt]

As much as its good seeing Australia get such a high score, I much prefer a contest.

 

[JJ]

We had 400+ at 3 wickets down. This is too close to call.

But if you add 2/20…

 

[Sphagnum]

Maybe the English women should take on the Sri Lankan men to find who is the 2nd most pea-hearted team in world cricket behind the Indian men’s team

bit of a let down after the India series

Kinda feel for Inglis.
On one hand, century on debut - the 118th person to do it in test history; first in almost ten years for Australia (and 21st Aussie overall). Did it at a rapid rate too.
On the other hand, it’s polarised pundits, fans and casual viewers who think both McSweeny and Konstas have been hard done by in the selection room and probably would’ve belted the runs too. Plus he’s done it against a pea hearted attack hadn’t helped.

I was with a group of 70-75 year old women yesterday, all know a thing or two about cricket, and they were filthy - absolutely filthy - Konstas was dropped. They were glued to the cricket at MCG and SCG, excited, talking about the kid getting out there and whacking it around. They even watched bbl to see him bat and they don’t watch bbl at all. I travel about and despite what anyone may say, and stats etc, Konstas has certainly got casual cricket people excited again.

How much sunblock do you think it takes to cover all the acreage on the BOATs dome?

Do you think he rubs it in himself or is there a vat they lower him into like a big bald paintbrush?

This fella might be able to tell you…

 

[Bazal]

Haha the strangle. We can do almost no wrong atm

It doesn't bother me one bit to see the Aussies flog the grubs from England or India.

 

[Fangs]

Starc loves a wicket bowling down the legside. So did Johnson. Loved spraying it out wide and taking unsightly wickets.

 

[undertaker]

Crucial wicket there for Australia.

Mendis was the 5th highest run-scorer in tests last year, scoring 1049 runs @ 74.92

Pretty sure he has his own official sunscreen applier as part of the 957 strong support staff.

Scorecard just says Caught Carey, Bowled Starc.

Even the greatest bowlers took wickets off rubbish now and then.
