2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2023

[Pippen94]

Smith was right...for once

 

[mozza91]

No it isn't. Just another format with lots of deadrubbers & weak teams

What’s the pinnacle then? T20? There’s just many shit teams playing in the other formats.

 

[Fangs]

A life for Steven.

He gets caught on the pad a bit these days

 

[mozza91]

Nice to see DRS not f**k Smith over for once.

I would normally agree but the age of the squad means there's gonna be a shitload of retirements all around the same time. See who's got what it takes in these type of tests so they're not getting thrown to the wolves against England or India.

Give morris 3 tests or something and rotate the other pace bowlers around him etc etc

Wasn't Hazlewood out for the best part of two years just before the ashes mid year?

Who did we give a run to in this time?

Boland, Nesser, Jhy Richardson. Could argue all deserved their selections and did well

Id imagine Morris will be fine.

If Jhye Is fit, he would lock in one spot. Nesser and Boland getting on

We play both India and England at home next time round rather than over there,

Ashes, Indian series. World cup final more important than series vs Pakistan. I can't even remember when Pakistan was last here & what happened then (although I know they've lost 15 straight here lol).

Knowing @Pippen94 the pinnacle is probably the ANU Liberal Arts inclusive sunday social squad.

No white men allowed

Racist.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

These pakistani players are so fat and lazy.

 

[Pippen94]

Feel "smith has a million bats" story coming from ponting

 

[Pippen94]

Body language says out

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

One of the best reviews I've seen. Bee's dick in it

Think Smithy is on a real downturn now. Not sure how much longer he's gonna go on

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If Pakistan could bat you could say Australia are in a spot of bother here.

But they can't so we should declare.

850 runs @ 43 before this innings for 2023.

Probably a good idea to drop him from white ball cricket, concentrate and prepare mentally for tests

Id imagine he would want to play in the home tests v india and poms next two seasons before retirement?

 

[Pippen94]

This is good cricket. Ball beating bat & now Travis head to counter attack.

 

[Pippen94]

Afl reference coming from bradshaw

 

[TheParraboy]

Close to stumps - Travis Head comes out to bat

Mike Hussey : "This will be interesting, Travis only knows one way"

Stumps
Head 9* from 19

Aust 3/187

 

[AlwaysGreen]

No thanks David.

lets hope Davey doesn't become a selector after his playing days
