2023 WTC FINAL: Aust v Ind @ The Oval - AUSTRALIA TEST CHAMPIONS

[hineyrulz]

Deadset repeat of last time we played them. Roll through their top order and let the bowlers score 200...

This Tharker merkin did us over in Brisbane. Anyone counterattacks we shit ourselves and go full defensive.

Okay seeya Starc. Put Lyon on.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Okay seeya Starc. Put Lyon on.

Hopefully this is his last test over there

 

[Bazal]

They could be all out by now with the luck they have had, instead it looks like the last over in a 20/20 game. We have been far too defensive for too long. This is what worries me with Bazball.

There's literally no reason to defend, except maybe one or two back in high traffic spots.

Just set a tight field, dot the pricks up, get wickets.

Starc is a f**king cat.

 

[Bazal]

Realistically we've had what, 2.5 decent tactical captains since like 1980?

Taylor and Clarke were good tacticians, and Tugga gets the .5

Otherwise our most lauded captains are a bully with a great mo and a hairy Tasmanian who got clocked by a cross dresser in a shitty Kings Cross nightclub

 

[Fangs]

That was Careys!!!

Steve Waugh was good tactically I just reckon he was over aggressive at times. Taylor was very good even though he needed to be carried as a player most of his captaincy career. Clarke was an excellent tactical captain but a poor leader. I think AB after 89 was a pretty good skipper but still probably overly negative. He was excellent using Warne though he might not have had the same impact under a different captain as a young Leggie.

 

[Bazal]

Jesus f**k...nuffbags gave it to Paine's keeping but he looks like Ian Healy compared to Carey

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I've been a Starc defender but if Hazelwood is fit he comes in and Starc sits out. Neser should be ahead of him too.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Jesus, cross eyed Carey strikes again.

 

[hineyrulz]

Keeper catch always, if the first slipper has to go to his left it’s the keepers catch.

 

[gUt]

Why in Warner grinning after that on my oled hd tv

 

[Hutty1986]

Same old story. As soon as our opposition stops playing like St George Illawarra, our mental midgets start playing like St George Illawarra

Yeah Tugga is my fave cricketer and captain, but realistically he gets the 0.5 because he never had to be anything better than good. He just set aggro fields and let the best attack of all time go, really. He probably struggled to understand momentum at times? He could definitely try and meet a momentum shift with more aggression which normally doesn't work. Tubby was probably the best, but it f**ked his batting. Clarke was close but a shit people person.

It's weird that we don't seem to have many good tactical captains...are we picking the wrong blokes or valuing the wrong things?

 

[Fangs]

Not the first time Carey has done this either. It's a flaw that needs correcting.

I think people in the entire cricket Aus set up are tactically clueless. Smiffy was tactically pretty average as well. Cummins had never done it I can’t believe he got the gig. But the tactics this session have been beyond embarrassing.

I don't think people who are 5 foot tall should be at first slip

 

[King-Gutho94]

This has escalated quickly.

Something about Rahane he is the silent assassin against us.
