they should get Sterlo, Joey or Rabs into the cricket commentary box. I just want someone in there who want feel the urge to talk all the time and doesn't sound like they have all the answers.
It would also cross promote Nines sports. If this was on seven how many effing GFL references would there be???

Your worst idea yet

But yeah, commentators and social media are fapping over Warner and ripping into Renshaw at the moment which is sad. I think the pair of them with 3. Uz 4. Smiff should be a lock in.

On a similar note, what's with all this ridiculous panic about Amla? Dude has a bit of a lean patch and everyone is going nuts about how he's lost it.

Its been a bad run outside south africa. i think this series he hasnt had a lot of luck and Hazlewood has bowled exceptional to him but its been 2 years without a score above 50 away from home iirc

Maybe he should start hitting boundries off every ball.....thats a sure fire way to get the fappers fapping.

Because they see 127 as a T20 total that can be chased down by slogging, maybe they dont understand the fact that this team is basically learning how to play test cricket again.

Well Renshaw is definitely learning how to play test cricket. And he's yet to really work out how to play FC cricket.

Tubbs is being very harsh on him at the moment. He's definitely never faced a leftarm chinaman, and given our quicks injuries he's more than likely never faced a bowler as quick as Rabada before.....

f**k me tubby. If the kid gets out you'd be saying he should have stuck around. This is the perfect opportunity for him to face a few deliveries and get used to playing at this level.

Speaking of T20 slog, just cause a domestic clip of Super Maxwell edging to slips. His technique was ridiculous, it was full on off stump and he sort of tried to run it to third man with no footwork, the bat slipped to 45 degrees, I couldn't understand wtf he was doing. Shocking that he ever wore whites.

It is pretty awesome experience for him. He likely goes and eats sheffield shield attacks alive after this.

Jesus Christ Tubbs, if it wasn't for this kid toughing it out on day one things could have been very different.

He's got through 159 deliveries in this test against an attack that's been schooling so far.

Lol its missing the edge by a bee's dick. Its not like hes leaving it

No, but neither is he chasing it and nicking off. He's playing within the line of his body for the most part. Very compact. Sure he might play inside the line a little here and there but he's much less likely to nick it doing that than chasing the ball
