5th Ashes Test: Australia v England at the SCG, Jan 4-8 2018

Its just every ball. This is so wonderfully dumb.

 

[hineyrulz]

And still they continue, get a clue you merkins.

 

[Bazal]

6 more and these geniuss are shocked.

Would McGrath allow the captain to set rubbish fields for him???

Not sure the bowler has much choice tbh, even if it is Pidge. He'd probably blow up though

I mean yeah, he can bowl something else, but the skipper will set the fields he wants to set.

 

[TheParraboy]

short ball finally gets one

 

[Eelectrica]

Worked eventually. Cost a lot more than it should have.

 

[Bazal]

I blame the coaches just as much IMO.

These aren’t the wickets to be continually bowling short like they are. If our quicks are as great as we think they are shouldn’t they be backing them just to knock them over bowling the top of off stump??

Sure but at the same time the coaches aren't out there, so the captain needs to have the nous to see that it isn't working and change it.

FFS now a wicket off short stuff...it'll be the tactic for the next eighteen years now

 

[Hutty1986]

It finally gets a wicket after about 10 boundaries. Magnificent tactics.

 

[mave]

And this is why Steve Smith has been steadily losing me in terms of his captaincy.

It was a genuine tactic at the Gabba, first game. But every f**king innings it's been the same rubbish....we've even played Stuart Broad into form ffs, that prick hadn't scored a run in 17 years

I'm off him as a captain entirely tbh.

 

[Twizzle]

short shit eventually gets a wicket so now they'll just keep bowling more short shit

should have had them out for under 300

 

[hineyrulz]

Not sure the bowler has much choice tbh, even if it is Pidge. He'd probably blow up though

I mean yeah, he can bowl something else, but the skipper will set the fields he wants to set.

I feel sorry for him.



And the shit tactics pay off finally.

The worst thing is they will feel vindicated which is just laughable.

 

[Mr Angry]

The South African did alright.

Except for being a Pom.

 

[hineyrulz]

I'm off him as a captain entirely tbh.

This is Ponting level of cluelessness.

 

[Mr Angry]

Were is that pommie who was talking up like his team would win?

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol, number 10 on test debut. One on the stumps probably cleans him up. Another short ball.

 

[Eelectrica]

What part of bowling short to Broad isn't working don't they get.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol, number 10 on test debut. One on the stumps probably cleans him up. Another short ball.

Derpy derp Derp Derp!

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Are we honestly making the guy with a history of injuries bend his back every over bowling bouncers on shit pitches? R.I.P Pat Cummins career

Idiot captain/coach

 

[TheParraboy]

if Crane makes double figures then we are taking the piss this test

 

[Hutty1986]

Derpy derp Derp Derp!

 

[some11]

Where does our pisshead culture come from I wonder?
