[Mr Angry]

Memo to Clarke

Watson is not a top order player.

Your challenge is to make him the 6 he always should have been.

Chappell reminds if of Phil Gould as a commentator.
Both think their opinion is the most valuable and the only one that matters.

Lol pretty much, as everyone feels forced to agree with them.

I reckon he'd be looking at 5-300 then declare

it may be time rather then runs that will determine when we declare but middle of tomorrow I reckon depending on run rate

30 mins before lunch tomorrow should be the moment

Let's see if Smitty can hit one here.

 

[Pete Cash]

It's amazing how differently people bat when they are up by a zillion.

 

[hineyrulz]

Just home from work massive lulz!!!


Ungerlund mighty Mighty UngerLund!!! Lol lolol trolololol.

This Pommy side is well past it.

Smiths average is just 32. Even lower than I thought. And he's had an extended run now. Easy track to bat on. Big lead. This is as easy as Test cricket will ever get for him. If he doesn't score a big one here he should be in trouble for Perth.

How good is it watching a bloke bat in the baggy green

If it was up to you we'd have nobody left for Perth.
Just out if curiosity, what would your XI be?

 

[African Monkey]

C'mon now BM you don't have to make every post dedicated to fitting Phil Hughes back in the side.

Maybe you could move to Adelaide and watch him smash attacks around the Adelaide Oval if it makes you feel better?

 

[Pete Cash]

I'm surprised he hasn't started death riding Clarke. He is honestly pathetic.

Warner
Hughes
Doolan
Clarke
Smith/Bailey
Watson
Haddin
Johnson
Harris
Siddle
Lyon

This is BM we are talking about, he has given up on Warner for now :lol:

f**k off with your Hughes dribble. He is rightfully being kept out by a decrepit old scrapper in Rogers.


Smith in trouble here.

Good review there, use your bat Smiffy.

 

[African Monkey]

Don't think that was a terrible decision live tbh. It looked good on first look.

I thought live it looked dead, it always looks worse when you don't use your bat.

Yeah my thoughts too. BM would have been gutted

Could the admins consider doing a Bumper Farrell on this idiot and swapping Hughes for Chris Martin?
