3rd Test: Australia v South Africa @ SCG Jan 4-8, 2023

Rich nations doing better than poor nations. There's ur answer

Yep the answer is racism.

 

[Pippen94]

How good was Haze ? never missed a beat despite all the time off. So much depth in our pace attack right now.

Seriously, what is the point of Agar ? you really have to wonder what any selector expected him to do, surely Zampa has to be a better option being a wristy.

It's not really going to play like a day 5 pitch today so interrresting to see what happens, I think Haze and Captain Pat might do more damage than the boat and the 'orrible

Said pitch was traditional dusty scg but that's only if it's dry; it's been raining for days. Boland was best option

 

[Pippen94]

Yep the answer is racism.

Australian players can make millions playing tests. West Indies players can't; need to play t20

 

[Bazal]

Bowling around the wicket in a slow dead wicket, out tactics are full retread.

They care as much about making footmarks for the BOAT as they do about getting wickets.

Cos he can't do anything without the pitch having craters in it.

The two quicks have picked up 5 wickets and the so called spinners 1. I don’t think Haze being picked was the problem. It’s the so called GOAT and a bloke who shouldn’t be the leading spinners in 3rds who just haven’t looked likely.

John Snow bowled unchanged from the Paddington End for 6 days in 1974-75.

One of those days was a rest day but they forgot to tell him.

He knew nothing though

They really miss Siddles face, it’s what he brought to the side.

The West Indies have a board that's nepotistic and incompetent. Players went to franchise leagues because they weren't being paid, not because the money wasn't there.

There are also other pressures, like US basketball, impacting cricket pathways.

Rich vs poor is only a tiny fraction of the discussion. Pakistan are a 'poor' nation and were number one in the world only a few years ago

Will & jl in commentary box; lots of cte

Time to bring Agar on.

Haze and Cummins are the perfect quicks for this situation. You want bowlers banging it into the deck, get the variable bounce and movement off the rough or the ridges in the surface etc

Time to bring Agar on.

The destroyer

Time to bring Agar on.

I'll take phrases I never thought I'd hear for $500 thanks Dave.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hussey talking about the ball reversing but he’s bowling short and around the wicket.

 

[Pippen94]

Jl got dumped coz players got sick of hearing him. Now they subjecting him to viewers

 

[Bazal]

Why does the BOAT hate silly point so much?

He's bowling into the rough outside off stump but he doesn't have a catcher on the offside.

It’s pure lunacy, and then we are continually told this fraud is the GOAT. This team is tactically inept at times.

No offside catcher for Agar either...who is a lefty so spinning the ball away (well, 'spinning').

You watch Jansen close the face and pop a leading edge up to f**ken nobody

Doesn’t matter, when it does pop up Head will be too busy appealing to catch it.

Man I love Head...
