[King hit]

If my ramblings make no sense today it’s because Im suffering from covid and have a delirious fever happening, what’s everyone else’s excuse?

lol does that thing still exist

You...you know diseases don't just vanish, right?

50 up for Carey, nice one

 

[Bazal]

Good knock. Shouldn't be enough to save him though IMO

Opener is the issue. I reckon Green will defs kick on. Head has plenty of time left and Marnus is tinny AF but only 29. There are plenty of keepers around who can hold a bat.

McSweeney looks very good. If Pucovski can stop playing short balls with his head, 3-7 looks to have a decent number of players around. (I think he's cooked but that's another story)

It's also a big issue that our f**ken selectors never give anyone a go. With the age of some of the players and a weak opposition both series this summer, perfect chance to get a guy like McSweeney 5 tests on the middle order on form

Green could be good if he learns how to bat.

Smith and Labs are on the decline.

Uzi should pull the pin now if he isn't going to be around for the next ashes.

I don't have anu confidence in Harris to open.

 

[Twizzle]

316 to get, can't see it myself

 

[TheParraboy]

We should rap it up before tea today..

 

[JokerEel]

Gee that was some poor batting by us.

What was Lyon doing when he was bowled

Green can bat, he just needs to mature and find some consistency. I would stick with him and maybe open with Head, he's done it enough times.

We then need to add a batsman to the squad, maybe Bancroft or Renshaw

Anyone but Harris

 

[Bazal]

100 runs too many for Pakistan IMO.

Great recovery from 4/15

Pakis are going to regret this one as a test that got away for a long time, wtf do they have someone with concrete hands in the slips?

Enjoyable test though, and another reminder of why tests are easily the best form of cricket...

Doesn't matter, Davey has anointed him as the chosen one...

 

[gUt]

Pretty sure Isa is looking directly and smiling at me.

Nice ball 1st up by Starc.
hopefully he can stick to that area.

 

[Mr Angry]

Shafique needs to be caught first slip.

We need @SLRBRONCOS to be online to work his magic on a photo of Warner waiting outside the Clovelly Hotel toilets with a speech bubble coming out of the door saying " i'll be about 15 minutes, David."

has he repressed those memories, or just losing his marbles?

think so too, dropping easy catches and 50 extras are the difference atm

I'm surprised the woke brigade haven't cancelled the word "maiden" in cricket.

3rd slip @Mr Angry
