4th Ashes Test: Australia v England at the MCG, Dec 26-30 2017

Plodcroft time to go back to the big beat off.

 

[_snafu_]

Bancroft surely doesn’t make the Test squad for South Africa.

If we lose this game Bancroft will go, not saying he's the reason for the loss by any stretch but he hasn't made a contribution all series

Well I suppose it wouldn't be the first time someone has been picked for test cricket base on T20 form. Lol.
Burns was in good shield form and has carried that through. Still hope Bancroft can get a good half century at least.

The first batsman I can think of that went though a similar graduation was Warner back in 2009. But he might have went via the ODI path. I have no idea about his Shield form at that time.

 

[blaza88z]

Bancroft is going to be made to look very, very silly in South Africa by Steyn and co.

I'm not sure I even consider Steyn their main bowler anymore, Rabada is a f**king weapon, I think they have the best attack in world cricket

 

[Wizardman]

One more go in Sydney for Bancroft

From memory did well in Shield but better for Aust A, really earned and forced his way into the test side this way I think

wouldn't be surprised if they put SMarsh as opener and brought in Maxy at 6 for Sydney

 

[Timbo]

Bang.

 

[Eelectrica]

Guess Khawaja isn't messing around. Just Don't hit down a fielders throat.

 

[blaza88z]

What a catch

 

[hineyrulz]

That kid is obviously a Storm junior.

 

[TheParraboy]

Khawaja giving Ali some stick

Hope root beeps him bowling

 

[Eelectrica]

All too predictable. I guess Handscombe recall for Khawaja.

 

[hineyrulz]

That’s well bowled.


Poms have bowled much better on this deck than the shit we dished up.

 

[TheParraboy]

Smith and Warner to bat out the day?

 

[TIGER14]

If Khawaja couldn't make runs on this deck he can't make them anywhere.

 

[hineyrulz]

All too predictable. I guess Handscombe recall for Khawaja.

This test loss is all Khawaja’s fault.

While Plodcroft will be fine to continue to Plod on to his hearts content.

 

[Bazal]

It's still not doing anything for them, but it goes to show what the right line and length can create even on a rubbish track.

 

[TheParraboy]

All too predictable. I guess Handscombe recall for Khawaja.

Wade for Paine...
