2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan at Melbourne on Dec 26-30, 2016

[AlwaysGreen]

I do hope he's retained though because his first innings in Brisbane is the funniest thing I've seen in Test cricket for ages.

Ben Duckett efforts in India spring to mind as much funnier. Or James Vince.

Or the recent selection of the great Gareth Batty.

Or Rashid Ali's attempt to be a leg spinner in India over the last few weeks.

Or England getting smashed for 750 by a guy in his third test.

Or Alistair Cook standing around in the field as his bowlers get tonked everywhere. Or Cook walking back to the pavilion after yet another failure.

That's comedy Tommy.

 

[Tommy Smith]

If you want to compare the recent comedic efforts of our respective cricket teams, you'll lose convincingly

Even more humorous that you'd use examples on the subcontinent!

It's scary to think what India will do to you on the subcontinent when even Sri Lanka walloped you in shockingly embarrassing fashion.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

How recent is recent Tommy? 2015 world cup?

Or 2016 where you lost 8 tests out of 17?

Or the last 4 tests?

 

[Tommy Smith]

How about to the last Ashes and Stuart Broad finger banging your entire line up when we bowled you out for 60

Or to the last Test series when Rabada & co Nic Maddinson'd your entire line up

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So we are talking recent as in your 4 - 0 loss to India. OK.

And lol at a pom putting shit on nic Maddinson. At least our strugglers are home grown. Your home grown talent is so shit you have to import shit.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

How about 2013/14 and 2006/07? I liked those moments.

And 1989-2005. Ah...memories.

One live Ashes test won in all that time.

I'm conflicted too. Poms! f**king hate 'em!

BUT...

Broad in the BBL. Cheering him on as the Hurricanes dismantled the Sixers. Sat there with my BROAD IS A SHIT BLOKE t-shirt on...and I'm willing him on to Phil Hughes the f**king lot of them.

Like Renshaw, Khawaja and soon to be Hilton Cartwright?

Your team is like the Barbarians in Union!

At least we import all our players from the same country

There's a difference between importing players to a tiny rain swept shithouse and choosing to live in God's country.

Renshaw and his family are the smartest poms in the world, not only did they escape England but tgey escaped NZ too!

 

[Tommy Smith]

You said at least your strugglers are home grown when come Boxing Day as many as 3 of them may not be.

Now you're trying to say that whilst England's are imports, your own are not; due to precipitation or something like that.

That argument is worse than a Maddinson woft outside of off stump!

Lol you are embarrassing yourself

 

[umina panther]

Lol you are embarrassing yourself

Half this current Aussie test side would make the all time Kiwi 11......now thats embarrassing

 

[tomdl]

Lol at comparing 3 players who moved here as children with the English taking established adult cricketers.

None of them are imports Tommy. They came here as children and have decided to play for the country they call home.

They're not adult south Africans or zimbos lured to England and got given a blue cap because they were better than what England's county system could produce.

Christ, your best player is a kiwi, your best batsman of the last 30 years is a south african. Even your coach is a blow in aussie.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol you are embarrassing yourself

The only embarrassing chaps here are the kiwi and pom stirring up rubbish in an Australia v Pakistan thread.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Wish the cricket would hurry up and start. You guys are really tiresome and the quality of smack talk has taken such a dive it's become the real embarrassment.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol you are embarrassing yourself

Ah, the purest definition of irony

 

[Tommy Smith]

One of them would. Two at most. That's it.

But if you only have a poor knowledge of cricket history then I can see why you'd say half the team.

 

[JJ]

Why is Stokes more an import than Cartwright?

Smith would be in the discussion, who on earth the second?
