3rd Test: Australia v England at Perth Dec 13-17, 2013

[Timbo]

Good batting sides should carve up on this pitch, but still, despite the top order going full genius and beyond, quick runs and a steady flow of wickets is not uncommon for Perth either way. And the Poms have yet to show us they can bat, so even 250-300 (as far away as it looks right now) should still be decent at least.

But f**k Bailey has been ratshit. Who comes in for him if he gets the arse?

Lynn, Maddinson or Doolan are my choices. He must go.

Not to be an east coast snob, but I'm glad we wont be playing a test match in Perth next year, I sure wont miss the Qatari heat

 

[age.s]

I know. Lets bat like England!

 

[Timbo]

Just duck the short stuff and attack the full-pitched bowling.

Jesus, they're using our own tactics against us and we're falling for it.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Johnson's going to kill someone out there when he bowls.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Haddin needs to buy a lotto ticket.

Lucky merkin.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I'll never understand why batsman duck under the short ball with their bat sticking up like a periscope

Johnson's going to kill someone out there when he bowls.

goddamn right he is

 

[Timbo]

With the wind at his back Johnson should break 150 on this deck.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Mitch to score 74 and fire out 6 for 2 or something

 

[Timbo]

Harris will be pushing high 140s as well. He could rip through on this deck.

 

[BunniesMan]

Rogers, Watson, Bailey out. WilliamGilbertGrace, Silk, Doolan in.

Bailey had no right to ever be there. When someone isn't even above average at 1st class cricket how can he be considered for test cricket. Shoot the next selector who considers picking test players on one day form.

IIRC he hit 151-152 in Adelaide.

He'll hit 155 here IMO.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Plenty in this pitch if Haddin gets hit by Tim Bresnan

 

[Timbo]

f**k me, Smith plays a carbon copy of the Bailey shot and gets away with it.

PUT THE HOOK AWAY.

 

[madunit]

Broads last over was only 5 balls

 

[JW]

I know what he means, but I had a LOL at Moods saying Bails is a "genuine No. 6". At grade level, maybe?

Grace is dead.

Do you mean Daisy?

 

[undertaker]

Tom Moody speaking too much common sense about Shane Watson.

 

[BunniesMan]

Taylor is a f**king idiot. Twattos skillset, temperament, mental strength is not good enough at 3. If his body cant handle a full bowling load at 6 then f**k him off
