3rd Test: Australia v New Zealand at Adelaide on Nov 27-Dec 1, 2015

[saint.nick]

our batting's f**king pathetic.

 

[hineyrulz]

Fair decision.

I'd send in Lyon and Starc in next.

 

[jargan83]

Starc on one leg is better than Shaun Marsh.

 

[Hutty1986]

That's quite possibly the game.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Collapse is on. Nevill our best hope.

 

[Bazal]

I'm sorry, but that was always too high.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Worst Aussie team ever

 

[Snappy]

Odds on S Marsh getting a duck ?

 

[hineyrulz]

As soon as the ball deviates just a little bit we have nothing. It's as simple as that, AB made of a career not getting out and getting gritty 30's and 40's when out of form on tough decks against quality bowling.

Yep all the modern batters are overrated clowns

The Warner's,Williamson's,Smith's Root's would average 30 in a non genius era

 

[Didgi]

smart of us to put the tail in from 4-6 so we've got some decent batsmen left once the bowlers are tired and the ball is a bit older

 

[mozza91]

Not looking good. Nicholas openly supporting NZ is painful.

 

[benched tiger]

And here comes the first Marshmellow bro...!

 

[undertaker]

Not looking good. Nicholas openly supporting NZ is painful.

Ch9 should give him a one-way ticket back to where he came from

 

[Twatface Magee]

I'm sorry, but that was always too high.

Agreed. As an on-field umpire you can't be giving anything that's outing above the knee-roll out.

 

[hineyrulz]

Darsh off the duck, good chance he might play a blinder and make double figures.

That's the difference. People can talk about technique, T20, flat decks, big bats all they like. But at the end of the day, there are very few gritty, gutsy cricketers willing to apply themselves being produced any more. They all have the mentality that they want to dominate, they want to play shots and feel bat on ball. And maybe all those things above have contributed to that, but so have coaches along the way and the entire process of developing a cricketer. The attitude of the modern bay batsman is almost exclusively one of arrogance, rather than one of being willing to graft and grind.

Nah, lock him in for a 50 to cement his spot against West Indies.

Agreed mate, no one willing to grind through a tough period.

Cometh the hour cometh the Darsh!!

 

[tomdl]

Nice edges to and through slip from Darsh. Great start.
