3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Adelaide on Nov 24-28, 2016

When did boundary percentage become a thing when showing a player profile?

When someone decided Davey dumb dumb was a test opener

I'm 40 and open in third grade and I'm shit scared every weekend.

Can't begin to think how much a 20 year test debutant has splattered the contents of his caecum in to the porcelain.

He looks a good sort

A quality test opener, your jealous tears are always enjoyable

It's kinda funny tbh. Warner has been a touch out of form, definitely, but to suggest he's not a Test match quality player is supremely ridiculous.

 

[Eelectrica]

Renshaw might just see Warner through to a hundred. They look like they're facing a different attack.
Good to see Warner "on" though.

 

[some11]

Renshaw just needs to get past ten to avoid the same fate as Niney.

You got to take the good with the bad with warner. as a batsman he is clearly test quality. he would open the batting for NZ if he was a kiwi. he is a rich mans martin guptil and the gupster has played 40 tests for nz

 

[JJ]

His situational awareness is laughable but my comment was about strikrate etc

He is no Greenidge IMO, unfortunately Cook (A) aside the world is short of world class openers ATM

Yep, that's on the money, no question

 

[JJ]

Hope your geniused selectors persevere with Renshaw. At the moment he's a little out of his depth but he's a kid and they threw him in there so surely the owe him a run?

How far away is S Marsh?

 

[BestHookerFarrah]

SMarsh in for Maddinson if fit for the GABBA.

Hopefully Miles.

 

[JJ]

Think he's deliberately playing inside the line of some of these 'misses', channeling John Wright!

You can have him.

Yeah bang on, he'd walk into our squad but again the fact that he walks into any test squad speaks more about test cricket than him.

 

[Front-Rower]

So it looks like Australia is going to win a dead rubber and Chappell is carrying on saying youth has been the trick, they have bought energy to the side and things are rosy. Reality is the Castle Lagers are kicking in and the Proteas are mentally already back home. I wonder if he remembers our record in dead rubbers during the 90's and 00's....

There's always been a place in test cricket for a player like Warner.

Ian Chappell should release an album of his greatest old man stories.

Would be great for insomniacs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Boot Hill sounds like a magical place.
