geez I got sick of the commentators whinging about the rain stoppages this morning

on, and on, and f**king on

@baggygreen man has the right idea, covering Australia with a giant umbrella so no cricket gets lost by rain.

Damien Fleming gives off creepy uncle vibes. I also assume he doesn’t wear deodorant.

Creepy Victorian uncle vibes. Probably invite you down the back shed for a fumble.

Fortunately Victorians are shit at everything so all attempted grooming would be a failure.

Most Victorians only fumble in the Boggers

Australia on top although I think there's plenty of runs in this pitch if you can bat. Which England aren't very good at.

Harris: You’re Usman Khawaja.
Khawaja: Yes
Harris: You’ve opened for Australia.
Khawaja: Yes
Harris: I open for Australia.
Khawaja: So?
Harris: So are you better than me?
Khawaja: Well, I’ve never met you, but….yes

Wade was easily the worst, over 30 tests at an average of under 30. But not enough body language or chirp from Oozie.

The way uzzie has been treated at times throughout his career has been a disgrace compared to other cricketers.

I am glad i was there to witness his day in the sun. The whole crowd as well were chanting Uzzie Uzzie Uzzie oi oi oi which was pleasing as well.

 

[Incorrect]

And a 1200 word article on Fox Sports article, with some clickbaity headline like Shane Warne calls for ONE big change for the 5th test.

5th Test;
* In Hobart and not Melbourne
* Hazlewood back for Boland
* Usman to open instead of Harris
* Starc picks up Player of the Series award

There's 4 anuerysm's coming for Warne right there...

What about the fun police yesterday at the cricket.

These 2 blokes in the bay across got kicked out because the crowd chanted them to skull one of there beers when they walking up to the seats. Then 5 mins later police are walking them out of the ground.

Its pathetic really.

I missed all of yesterday, but was happy to see Khawaja post a big score. Better story than Head, I reckon. That's not to undermine Head's selection.

A few good depth stories this season- Boland, Neser, Khawaja, Head, Richardson...maybe even Harris, who is looking a little more comfortable each time he heads out to bat.

Is Head a lock to return for Hobart?

I'd be dropping Green for a while. He'll make it back but his batting hasn't been good enough.

I don't totally disagree on the face of things, but are you thinking of going in with 4 bowlers and the having Head and Labuschagne as options if needs be?

Green is obviously being carried a little and that's a luxury that belongs to teams going well. A lot of Asian cricket coming up for you blokes though. How do you feel about Green in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India?

I reckon they will pick Uzie at 6 for the Asian tours and leave Green out.

Bowling will be 3 quicks and Lyon with Labs, Smith and Head to roll the arm over if required in spin friendly environments.

 

[roofromoz]

Probably nowhere near as funny as it is promoted, as usual...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Looks like Malban weather in Sydney

 

[The Mad Hatter]

As much as I love Uzi, what’s his record in Asia like? You’re better off persisting with Green at 6. Gives him young experience in Asia, plus his bowling will be needed, he fields like a gun and the runs will come.

Uzi for Harris on the other hand…
