f**k me Warnie comparing the MCG to lord's.

The SCG is a closer comparison to Lord's with its historic change rooms and members/ ladies stands then the revamped MCG

Yeah, but facts like that ruin the Warnie wankathon.

From cricinfo:

Most first-class matches played by a bowler before Test debut for Australia:

79 - Scott Boland

75 - Colin Miller

70 - Michael Neser

What’s Boland like??

MCG specialist apparently. Has taken around 1000 Shield wickets in the last few seasons. Apparently.

Played a few ODIs and T20Is around 2016.

 

[roofromoz]

Warney with an On The Buses reference.

Even his attempted humour is horribly outdated.

Is he quick?

 

[TheParraboy]

Throw Boland the new red rock. Poms all out before the first drinks break

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Not sure about bowling first, it opens us up to facing Jack Leach in the 4th innings.

I would have thought Warnie was more a 'carry on' man.

 

[shiznit]

Lmfao… Smith and Warner give the debutant a pat on the back before they go out…

What I’d give to have him say… “Don’t worry boys… I got the sandpaper ready…”

 

[roofromoz]

Is he quick?

Probably average mid/late 130s

I know there is a lot of wank around the mcg but most foreign fans I've spoken to find it a soulless concrete jungle
