4th Test: Australia v India @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2024

[Chins get the wins]

So picking selfish totally past it 37 year olds was the answer??

Over complete bums like Plodcroft yes

 

[Mr. Shaman]

That's what happens when CA throws the Shield in the bin

Big Dominic Thornely would walk into this team and boot Bison into the sun.

With Bumrah just do what Hayden used to do against the best quicks when they visited. Bat 1 or so meters out of the crease and force them to change their length. If you knick it you have an extra meter to carry.

Australia need to start a hundred competition like Bazballand.

I look forward to Konstas and Frasier McJerk opening the batting for us I a couple of years.

It's all about Booooooost points and batflips.

Bison is a poor man's Richard Chee Quee.

Gone are the days when blokes like Martin Love couldn’t get a run.

David Hussey scored about 14k FC runs averaged over 50 scored 45 FC hundreds & never played a test.

Yet blokes these days are getting picked averaging mid 30s and scoring f**k all FC 100s

Jason Arnburger would walk into this side.

20 over nonsense is the cancer, unfortunately the only cure is to kill 50 over cricket

We all used to be like eww Victorian Matthew Elliott. Now it’d be f**king SOS plz Victorian King. And bring ya devon headed mate Di Venuto.

It's a funny game.
With the 2nd new ball and overcast conditions our bowlers got barely any movement.
Today under the sun Bumrah and Deep have the ball veering around like a drunk driver.

Neither of those statements is true. The problem is the short sighted idiots in charge basically see the Shield as an extension of grade cricket rather than the staging ground for Test cricketers. CA couldn't care less about first class cricket because there's no cash in it. The domestic one day comp has gone the same way.

Stop reading my posts out loud you flog.

 

[PJ]

He is incredible

It took Konstas to get all funky and whacky to get him off kilter a bit in the 1st innings.

He has gone past Dale Steyn for mine when it comes to the best overseas quick I have seen over here in my life in the past 25 years

Yep, if Bumrah wasn't playing Aussies would comfortably win the series. If Bumrah played for Iz it wouldn't have even been close.

It's completely true. The space for 3 formats simply doesn't exist

Look at the FC averages and who is a better option? That is the problem gone are the days of going to play county cricket in the winter and piling up hundreds to be near selection
