[Pete Cash]

Thats the type of shit you say to an under 12s team not a f**king professional sporting outfit. Imagine if stick next season said oh its fine we lost in Canberra to a team smashed by injuries, it proves rugby league is alive and well. It just wouldn't happen.

The job of the Australian cricket team is to win cricket matches

 

[Pete Cash]

Now if JL said he has 11 blokes hurting in the sheds that is something Stick might say

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Do they even need a coach?

What the f**k can Andrew McDonald tell or teach patty or haze or Starc about test match bowling? The shit that Starc served ip today is 10 times better than anything McDonald has ever produced.

Skull even said Lyon only listens to one bloke about advice on his bowling, someone named Davison I think it was.

How does anyone coach these blokes?

Is he secretly a kiwi?
He’s right, but probably too soon for the losing coach... India were deserving, we need to be better... that’s enough... pushing the Indian B side really isn’t a good look on the cv

Lyon should probably seek other advice then

TIM PAINE

204 runs at 40.8. High score of 73*. 17 catches.

The Australian captain had a handy enough series with the bat, managing key contributions throughout, batting like a keeper as they say. He produced a player of the match performance at the Adelaide Oval, where his first innings 73 off 99 dragged Australia into the contest before the quicks won it for the side. Had the messiest series of his career with the gloves, with standards particularly slipping at the SCG where he dropped three catches on day five as India forced the draw. He was good with the bat in both innings in the decider but was unable to coax his team to victory at the Gabba.

Mike Hussey’s rating: 6 — He contributed nicely with the bat but probably wasn’t at his best behind the stumps.

How many texers will JL get?

 

[undertaker]

Any chance of Australia realistically winning the test match evaporated to nearly 0% with the 123 run 7th wicket partnership between Thakur/Sundar.

With India at 6/186 in response to Australia's 369, if Australia skittle the Indian tailenders and had a 100-150 run lead or so, completely different scenario to the 33 run lead they ended up with. Australia would've ended up with a strong 400+ run lead and India would've had to play for the draw instead.

Say what you want about the bowlers and captaincy but all our batsman besides Labs were a absolutely shit the entire series, barely gave the bowlers a chance, no big scores, batted to slow, whenever someone did scratch a score they didn't go on with it, even Labs, tons up then gets out, jobs not even half done mate
