Mirrors?

SMarsh averages 18.00 last 10 tests?? wow

That high?

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice, we made it to stumps without losing 20 wickets.

Massive moral victory there.

I think there is a loop hole there

God given no, JL given?

 

[TheParraboy]

That high?

as a kite...

 

[TheFrog]

We might beat them but there is no way they would be this embarrassing

The surprise is that it is our bowling that has been shown up. It was predictable that the batting would be affected but the bowling has been made look ordinary as the series has gone on.

 

[hineyrulz]

You've been playing hard to get for months so you better not divorce me this early.

Besides, you've been added to the invite list for my "if I ever win the lotto I'm having a corporate box at the SCG Test for the LU cricket forum tragics" so you wouldn't wanna miss out on that.

I'd have you seated at the back in a cordoned off Raiders and Eels sub section so all you miserable lesbians can sit together.

Misery loves company

 

[Mr Spock!]

Captain Paine chiming in with the obligatory 5.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Lol, Ponting thinks Marnus Labuschagne should be a lock for the Ashes. FMD.

 

[Mr Spock!]

that is an atrocious shot, no footwork

one day shot there from Paine, huge gap between bat and pad

Apparently he's a better bat than Carey because he made a century a decade ago.

 

[Mr Spock!]

When we were shite in the 80s at least AB would score some tons.

Is this the first home series ever with no Aussie tons?

We even had some tons when we had the third Australian XI playing the Ashes in the Packer years in 78 and they got done 5-1.

We also beat India 3-2 without the Chappells, Rod Marsh, Lillee, Walters, Wessels, Hookes, Edwards, McCosker basically the whole test team from the Centenary Test.

 

[Matt23]

Can we sack Hick and Saker yet?

 

[Mr Spock!]

Lol, Ponting thinks Marnus Labuschagne should be a lock for the Ashes. FMD.

Who are the other two?

 

[Mr Spock!]

I was contemplating last week how much worse our results have been and declining rapidly in direct contradiction to how much money they now make... You've got amputee impersonators like Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh on retainers with CA worth about 1.5 million banana's a year while bloke's like AB 30 years ago were probably being paid in beer coupons and a couple of hundred dollars a month having to front up to Garner, Marshall, Holding and Walsh on proper turf decks... Disgusting how well rewarded some this current crop are....

Most of us would be sacked if we were as bad at our job as these merkins are.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Can we sack Hick and Saker yet?

Hick to be sacked as batting coach and replaced by SMarsh.

 

[Eelectrica]

I got nothing against Labuschagne. But his selection was like picking a blunt knife to cut a tough piece of steak. The potential is there, but needs sharpening. He's done better than expected with the bat, not really good enough though.

Although at this point if we're picking a team on form, it's a very short list. Go Paddy give 'em hell.

Second half of the shield season should be one of the most crucial ever. Will or selectors even know it's on?

If anyone in charge in CA had so much as half a brain in their head Smith and Warner would be playing all 5 remain shield games. That's all I ask.

 

[Hutty1986]

Cowan comes across as a smarmy know it all type prick. But he is usually bang on the money.

And Nannes sounds like a deadset softcock nancy boy has-been...or never-was
