[Tommy Smith]

Lol 85.

Lol

 

[East Coast Tiger]

They've totally dominated in every way.

Remember when we were like that?

Philander is your daddy


That was pretty comprehensive

85 was flattering, heads should roll all over the place.

The stupid Victorian CEO sitting next to the senile chairmen of selectors should be the first to go.

 

[T-Boon]

We've been struggling and collapsing on decks that seam, swing or spin since 2008. And nothing every seems to be done.

The Argus report was a total waste of time.

We don't have a lot of resolve to fix obvious problems. For example: we would be a lot more competitive in England if we went back to getting there 5 weeks early and prepared properly with 4, 5 or 6 first class games. But nope, play T20 instead.

It's embarrassing listening to Healy call a situation like this without an ounce of shame in his voice.

 

[Bazal]

Unbelievable performance from South Africa, they would have ripped through any side in the world this morning. One of the best bowling performances I've seen in quite a few years.

Gotta pick ourselves up and bowl that well ourselves.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

That's what you get for not selecting Matt Wade.Well played South Africa

 

[JJ]

What was Lyon doing there??? Ball 5 3 should of always been on.


And they take a single on ball 6. Honestly these blokes have no idea.

Wicket does a little and they have no clue in any aspect, just weird

 

[Pete Cash]

In fairness to smith lyon did call him through for the run. yeah he should have said nah but its just this score runs over everything else attitude that is killing us

Lyons thoughts was oh there is a run to be scored here but by surviving the ball he puts a player on strike who will score possibly more runs next over.

Like warner sees a wide one and thinks he if i belt this i will score a four but he is risking a wicket for four runs. thats a big trade. where if he gets set there are lots more runs to be had. its just common sense. you cant score runs when you are out.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

South Africa were great, but that doesn't cover the fact that we are absolutely dumb as dog shit.

Lyon taking a single off the last ball of the previous over is a prime example of our sheer stupidity. Toughness, intuition, grit, and "feel" are all gone. Replaced by some muppets with data, point dexters, commercial interests, and a useless ex-Yawnion player running the show.

 

[Sphagnum]

Ready for SA to show the pitch is fine, Australia are just trash.

It's all about T20 and those Benjamin's baby1!!


Treating the Sheffield Shield like garbage is just one of a number of problems with Aussie cricket.

You just can't accept we were outplayed by a far better performance. But then you're a troll

It's not weird anymore mate, it's just expected and nothing ever seems to be done bar the odd player getting dropped.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Hazelwood should bowl well here.
