3rd Test: Australia v India at MCG Dec 26-30 2018 - INDIA WON BY 137 RUNS

I reckon that's probably twice as good as Plumscombs average for balls hitting the stumps.

Handcum averages 2.7 for all deliveries on the pegs.

Cuts a helluva good orange though.

And he shakes hands like a mad merkin.

If you look at our top 6 and the methods they were selected and you can see how bad a state cricket in Australia is.

CA doesn't seem to care so it's gonna get worse
When Smith comes back his average is going to get better due to be being stranded on 40 NO. Apparently Smith is immortal and is totally gonna play forever. He has too because no heir apparent.

I had a longer reply but good old internal server error so yeah.

 

[Eelectrica]

We've really gotta stick it out with guys like Head, Renshaw and Burns when/if they get back in because no one is demanding selection. Of course it's a bit hard to play your way into the side with Shield on a summer vacation.

I just don’t see the reasoning to pick a fat 32 year old slogger, what is the point??? Could they really see him scoring runs at the top of the order in England???

Renshaw is the best opening prospect in Aus and he should of been preserved with.

Off topic, I just saw Alastair Cook is to be knighted.

Sir Alastair Cook...

Last cricketer knighted was Richard Hadlee in 1990.

Australia certainly missed the boat by ending knighthoods.

We could have Sir Allan, Sir Steve, Sir Ricky, Sir Glenn, Sir Shane, Sir Adam...

Fatty's selection was beyond illogical.

I'm picturing him batting in England and the results would be hilarious. No way would he average over 10 across the 5 Test series.

Just on Shaun Marsh, how must Callum Feeguson feel watching this spud get chance after chance... after chance after chance, when he has a comparable first class record and got dropped for good after ONE TEST.

And he was run out in one of those innings.

Stamped never to play again.

Joe Burns must feel the same.

But Shaun Marsh? He can average 15 across half a dozen tests at 35 and still get picked!

Australian cricket is beyond rotten.

Sir Wadey.

Imagine the flood of Victorians. Sir Rob Quiney, Sir Darren Berry. Fmd.

 

[Iafeta]

In fairness, Ferguson ran himself out like a clown.

The one that beggars belief is Doolan. Good first class bat, excellent technician, if he was Alex Darsh he’d have played 70 tests by now.

Mark Cosgrove can count himself unlucky.

The GOAT is getting his ass handed to him

Pfft Paddy.

Unless he takes 6 or 7fer, I'm not getting excited.

If Patty ends up with a 9 for then this forum will explode into a full-blown lesbian gangbang imo

Jadeja would get a gig in our top order with a swing like that.
