@fredamy65 Why Netflix and chill when you can #TheBlock and chill? ��

Called playoff early.


Ch9 management to on-field umpires:

"Ok guys, the match isn't going anywhere. Even though there's another 20 or so overs left to bowl, just call the game off because of bad light so we can get Blockheads like Amy Hudson to tune in and see this:

That WACA wicket wasn't test standard. All it did was favor batsman and didn't offer anything for bowlers and showed no wear and tear till the end.

And when he bowls fuller, he bowls too full and gets pelted for 4...

Average Test spinner.

Well done to Mitch, glad to see him get the two wickets, pity he couldve or mightve got more had it been a better pitch for bowlers

typical of Ch9 not to show the post-match presentation.

Yeah that was disappointing not to hear from both captains, and the man of the match.

Average Test spinner.

He has been our best spinner since Warne by a long shot, average of 34 is good for a spinner. It's just since Warne all of our spinners are expected to perform when in reality that isn't the case.

It certainly isn't, very average spinner for mine.

Talk of Haze being rested nest week so possibly 1 new bowler and 1 old Sids

Lyon bowls far to quick and has little variation.

I mean he had the doctor to bowl into and he still was bowling medium pace plod. He has decent control and is light years ahead of the trundlers post Warne(bar SOK who has never had a decent crack) but he will never be anything more then a solid offie.

Hauritz also averaged 34, was sacked for Xavier in the ill fated home ashes 10/11

Xavier sacked for Beer

Listening to ABC Grandstand last night doing the rounds in the Shield Games.

When the news broke about Notch retiring Patto went from bowling about 135ks to about 145ks and took 3 wickets, he seemed to be on a mission. He ended up with 3 for 39 off 19.

During the same time Bananman got 0-42 off 16.

Its a no brainer who should be picked if Patto is 5 day cricket fit but Sids was 12th man and included in this squad but couldn't get a wicket against a very young WACA team.

I still believe the selectors will pick Sids as they seem to have this pecking order method of selection and current form seems to be irrelevant.
