and Lyon as our only spinner

The excuses for wade

 

[umina panther]

Why doesn't the media call out Wade?

 

[Sphagnum]

See how they showed azhar Ali having a couple of catches dropped of his bowling when that Mong dropped Starc?

They don't show all the catches wade drops off Lyon though.

 

[Twizzle]

"Lyon is the key today" (Warnie)

lol, we're f**ked

 

[El Diablo]

and Lyon as our only spinner

he spins it?

 

[Wizardman]

We should have declared at the start of the day.

 

[Twizzle]

he spins it?

he actually does spin the ball well

problem is he bowls 6 identical balls an over, he is way too predictable for mine

 

[Pete Cash]

We should have declared at the start of the day.

Why ? We would need a session to bat either way. Now pakistan cant win the match and have more scoreboard pressure on them.

This also tired out Pakistans bowlers and got their heads down in the field after they had confidence out of the gabba.

A win was unlikely either way tbh

 

[Twizzle]

Why doesn't the media call out Wade?

good question, seems to be a protected species

 

[Bazal]

You can knick him out if he attacks the ball hard before he has his trigger movement really moving smoothly. Possibly why he is arguably the worst of the "big four" at limited over cricket because he ideally needs time to get everything moving correctly

Once he is moving well he is tough to get out

Realistically all batsmen are vulnerable to a moving ball early, spin or swing, and Smith is no different in that regard...but yeah once he gets everything moving he's ridiculous. And he seems to get it all working quicker than most

 

[JJ]

Warne should be a selector

Agar and/or Zampa lol

 

[Twizzle]

we get it Warnie, you dont like SOK

 

[Bazal]

Why is Warne allowed to speak? Reckons SOK is a white ball specialist.....

 

[Bazal]

Warne should be a selector

Agar and/or Zampa lol

Agar wouldn't be the worst selection Australia has ever made, he's not awful and can bat.

But it should be SOK, unquestionably

 

[Hutty1986]

Here comes our medium pace part-timer, Nath Lyon

 

[hineyrulz]

What a suprise a fast dart down the leg side start from our medium pacer. Great keeping as well.

More byes for Wade.

 

[umina panther]

Warne would have 200 less test wickets if Wade was his keeper

 

[_snafu_]

Is there anyone at the Geeeeeee?
