Now SOK can bat, if he hangs around then you never know..

 

[Timbo]

Pretty well f**ked I think.

Given we're playing with 9 blokes it's hardly surprising.

Is Peter Nevill on his way to the airport?

There's the fat lady boys

 

[Meapro Ham]

SOK has a first class average of 28. Would be handy here

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We've lost 3/3 now.

 

[umina panther]

Yeah, because we're definitely going to hit our way to the win....lol

He's legit more chance getting out blocking

 

[Desert Qlder]

Chuckwin can f**k off.

 

[undertaker]

SOK has a first class average of 28. Would be handy here

highest score of 99 as well.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Every player needs a forward defence. If you go out trying to bit every ball out of the ground you're going to fail more times than you succeed. This isn't park cricket and these bowlers aren't 60 year old plodders.

 

[JJ]

Mark Waugh is useless as a commentator. He's selecting these planks like Mmarsh so how can he criticise them.

Apparently levers dismissal was bad luck.

he has a lot of bad luck...

 

[undertaker]

Handscomb getting another rib-tickler there. Looked painful

 

[JJ]

cant be given out under those circumstances

wow - just wow

 

[Bazal]

Incorrect. Like anyone, he has to get his fking eye in and he has to protect his wicket....no good swinging from the arse, it's test match cricket

Anyway, I hope he sends down 24 consecutive bouncers at Ashwin next test after that rubbish. I'm all for sledging, don't get me wrong....but why is a spinner motioning at a quicks badge? He deserves a few there and a simple "wasn't that you were asking for last game mate?"

 

[Twizzle]

highest score of 99 as well.

that would be pretty handy

 

[Eelectrica]

A run out would really be the icing on the cake.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think I just saw Locky in the crowd..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So is Ashwin the david warner of bowling?

Great at home, mitchmarsh like away?

 

[8Ball]

We were behind the times early, our vice captain decided not to bother trying to consolidate, and then we have those planks at 6 and 7. We're on a hiding to nothing today sadly.

We've lost a number of big moments in this test.. We lost Marsh just before tea in the first innings. And Marsh...just before tea again today. Just can't help but feel that if we had a proper bloody batsman at 6, things would have been different.

Even a real bowling option at 6 would be better

People rag on him but I keep saying his average outside India is still better than Lyon's career average.

He's quite poor in Australia and his stats are certainly tainted by playing so much in suitable conditions but he's also a good bowler regardless.
