2nd Test: Australia v West Indies D/N @ Gabba Jan 25-27, 2024

[JokerEel]

What's Labs average this summer over the 5 matches can not be good

 

[King-Gutho94]

Still 40 mins left.

Not ideal situation for Cam Green.

Nothing to gain and everything to lose.

I reckon Windies need us 4 down tonight to have a chance.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Green's bat looks far too short for how tall he is

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Marn your out mate you don't have to keep shaking your head like your the only batsman that's ever been dismissed.

Saw a young un in 5th grade get given LBW this arvo. Stood his ground, looking up and down, back and forth up the line of the pitch. Quite an experienced ump too. Had to walk down the pitch and politely ask him to be on his way and batter continued to sook as he meandered off, muttering and shaking head. All I could think was Lauba.

He had a decent world cup.

Was crucial in the final as he held up an end while Travis went ballistic.

But yeah his test form has fallen off the cliff. Around the 30 mark this summer

 

[JamesRustle]

Labs luck has finally ran out

His God has forsaken him.

His test cricket has fallen off the cliff he scored some 60s against Pakistan got a 100 in the ashes and his last 100 was against WI in December 2022.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Labs average continues its slide. Will be in the 40s where it belongs soon.

In a Chappelli voice

"You play your best batsman at no3 like I was back in the 70s"

It's the same standard he's just not getting dropped 3 or 4 times an innings

Opener Smiffy has arrived baby

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Ahead for sure but add the dreaded 2/20 and it’s going to be a tight one!

 

[mozza91]

Hopefully we get a bit more chat today about Smith’s technique. The 8 full hours they dedicated to it yesterday wasn’t overkill at all.

Well not like anyone’s seen it before… oh wait

 

[Twizzle]

finally Smudger makes a few at opener

 

[Mr Angry]

Well the rain started here is Brissy just after 2am, woke me up it was very heavy rain, been going ever since not as heavy now.

 

[Mr Angry]

The rain will pass in about an hour, they will have 2 hours to get the ground ready, but it rained hard for a good 8 hours, so I would expect a slow outfield, might be some juice in the pitch and a slippery ball.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I think we will cruise it in 4 or 5 down.

Windies being a bowler down.

I expect Bison, Head and Smudge to get us home easily.

Hopefully the windies can take it deep though and make it uncomfortable for us. We don't get too many close test matches in Australia these days.

 

[Fangs]

Looking very cruisey to start the afternoon

Big crowd in
