Rain starting to overtake wind as the shittest type of weather.

 

[Twizzle]

There is still plenty in the pitch, if the weather can hold off we're a chance

dickhead

OMG OMG

Smith drops a sitter, first ball of the day

 

[King-Gutho94]

I reckon Smudge has dropped plenty of sitters in his career.

So them saying he doesnt drop them is a bit of lazy commentary.

He isnt in ponting's class who snaffled everything.

Did they say he has dropped 6 in his career

If thats true, they must have all been sitters than makes us think its a lot more...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Not one of our great slips cordons.

Khawaja isn't a first slip, third is acceptable for him. We've always had to hide him in the field.


Smith is an excellent 2nd slip, he's a bit like Warne in that he does does drop the occasion sitter. Definitely not in the Ponting or M Waugh class.

Labs @ 3rd? Yeah, I guess we don't have many other options.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Captain gets the Captain!

 

[TheParraboy]

Rohit Sharma a walking wicket these days a captains ton i reckon..

 

[King-Gutho94]

Any word on Hazlewood

Cricinfo reckon he didnt start the day out there and could have got injured again.

What a blunder that would be he bowled 5 overs ffs.

He's out there. Doesn't look 100%.

Probably forget the follow on id imagine if Haze is gone

Give Paddy / Starc some rest before getting stuck in again, they both probably bowl 20+ overs this innings

More then 6 there probably only gone back since Fox Cricket took over the coverage seriously he dropped 2 at the Gabba last year against the Windies.

 

[TheParraboy]

Jadeja is a real danger, this guy before you know it, is doing bat twirl to bring up his 50

if the guy needs a fitness test before the match just pick someone else - he isn't Dennis Lillee

 

[AlwaysGreen]

1 over from Hazelwood then off.

 

[Fangs]

India now gets the extra few days to rest their attack. And our ageing attack will be breaking their backs if they start pushing for the W with less recovery time. Gonna need to be thoughtful when picking our attack at the MCG.

Boland in for Haze is a no brainer. Save Hazelwood for the SCG. You'd have to look at changing out Marsh as well IMO. He hasn't contributed much with the ball or bat and someone like Beau Webster looks a more dangerous prospect right now.

 

[jargan83]

Josh Hazelwood side injury reported on ABC Grandstand, being assessed by physios.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think Haze is done for this series, be a risk playing him at SCG
