2nd Test: Australia v India at MCG Dec 26-30 2020

[Bazal]

Head is good enough, he just needs to learn that you don't have to hit every ball. Has a serious desire to feel bat on ball all the time. That was an unnecessary shot

 

[Matt23]

This could be over tonight, Head's a useless merkin

 

[Eelectrica]

We're more than 1 player away...

 

[mozza91]

Now we can’t even bat well at home? Other than Bumrah their attack is bog average but we’re making them look like f**king champions.

 

[hineyrulz]

The difference in this test is the captaincy.

The catching has nothing to do with it???? It's easy to look a good captain when you are well on top against a side full of potatoes.

The bowling plans are night and day as well IMO.

 

[T-Boon]

Or, y'know, the hundred from Rahane....that's pretty important in a match where the next best score is 40 odd.

Didnt he get dropped 5 times by the captain?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Merry Baldmas everyone,this display is your present,thanks a lot Aussie cricket team

P.S Hope Wade got heaps of presents though

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I reckon playing a countless number of pointless T20s and less first class cricket will fix this, now and in the immediate future

/Cricket Australia.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Everyone.

Except JL and @Bring back John Fifita

Sadly I was hiking while he was at the crease but saw his opening partner get shot down..

Soon as I get back home to watch.... El-Bee-Double-Yoo..

Bugger.

Now 5/98...

Need a Mitchell Starc 99...

 

[Eelectrica]

Our bowlers might not need to bowl again this game. Oh happy days.

 

[Bazal]

We're more than 1 player away...

Tbh I think fatalising these tests after the year we've had is a bit silly, to be kind.

We'd played no Tests for ages and most of them weren't playing much Shield either, thanks to CA. The balance is still not right...I like Green but with him there we have three number six bats in the top six. Do we need an all rounder over a genuine number five bat? I don't reckon we do.

Wade needs to go, maybe mend the bridges with a guy like Uzi for the middle order. Green is a case by case selection. Head to six long term.

 

[blaza88z]

I dont even know how Head has a regular spot in the team

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Going off the last test were we bowled them out for 36, we only need 69 more runs and we got dis.

/Cricket Australia.

Yep, as long as the Big Beat off goes for the next 170 days it will be all good.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

What a horrible shot.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lolol, how wonderfully predictable. These mongs are a fast bowler injury away from being Bangladesh.
Another superb innings from Travis 'superstar' Head!

 

[eagles4eva]

India's first inning showed how bad a keeper Payne is, standing so far back...I know we never dump captains but seriously he isn't a good keeper...If he fails here when do you blood Josh Philippe

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I swear Head has been out 6 million times playing that same shot.

Needs to be a specialist number 11 batsmen.

 

[TheParraboy]

Was that spike just after the ball past the bat?

 

[Bazal]

Yeah he's not edged that, the spike was just after the bat and too soft....sigh.
