Quicks looking tired. Be nice if we had a number 6 who could bowl some overs. Or score runs. Or do f**king anything.

Just need the magic sponge and some voltaren on it and he'll be fine.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

God, is Starc injured?

 

[This Year?]

Can this merkin bowl an over without a no ball?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, of course the fraud opens with a no ball.

 

[Marshall_magic]

This Joel Reddy fella is quietly having a solid series. Always seems to make a nuisance of himself when we are going through their tail.

 

[This Year?]

f**k sake

 

[Iamback]

This pitch is a road. Poor shots and a dumb run out made it look worse than it is

 

[hineyrulz]

Someone shoot Bitch Marsh.

Do we not have a decent leggie or another option for 2nd change bowling?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Wrist spinners (both right and left arm) who can at least get good drift and turn on their stock leg break delivery have that natural variation that off-spinners such as Lyon don't.

Unfortunately, most coaches/selectors/captains at all levels in Australia (e.g. national, state, grade cricket and high school) have had a negative attitude towards wrist-spin bowling since Warne retired. Towards the end of his life, Terry Jenner - Warne's coach - received a lot of complaints from parents of leggies that are high school/university age revolving around stereotypes in their child's cricket team such as leggies are too risky to bowl in a game. Furthermore, whenever they do get selected and get a bowl in a match, more often than not the leg-spinner is confined to a containment role (stopping the runs instead of taking wickets) and are given a bowl by the captain just to give the fast bowlers a rest.

 

[This Year?]

Getting sloppy now.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I just realised why f**king Marsh doesn't bowl that often. Because he's shit.

Not just that, but remember, Howie also has an easy, high-paying commentary gig in the IPL that he sure as hell doesn't want to sabotage by saying anything that puts him offside with the BCCI.

Hopefully this tea break gives us a chance to get our shit together. This session has been a f**king joke
