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

Has plenty of potential.

Wonder if he gets nurtured in England though?

Probably not. County cricket is the home of medium pacers.

From my first view of him he spins it a fair bit and has good variations.

Warne's after one test was 151.

Do you see Crane as another Warnie?
Or closer to another Beer?

 

[hineyrulz]

Spinners on at both ends, inspired captaincy.

Defs Not a Warne. But he's better than any leg spinner bar Yashir that I've seen since Warne retired.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If they cover the seats white why do they need a sightscreen?

I concur.

Problem is Aust saw potential in Warne and nurtured him through and it helped that Border wanted him and used him. Warne even admits this.

If Crane goes for 200 I can see England losing faith almost immediately. And Joe Root has absolute NFI. It'll kill his confidence.

I can also do with out the fap. But that's me.

they must figure they are going to spin us out, problem is they are unarmed

Okay.
Gunna agree to disagree on this one.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Wtf does Bill want? Anderson and Broad to all of a sudden start bowling at 150ks? Ali to turn into Jim Laker?

I remember when they wheeled the site screen side to side.

Cheap seats were beside it and people got up and shifted sides.

FMD. Good enough for Border, Viv and Lara...

These days the whole end is sheeted and about ten seats left and right cordoned off too.

I love it when the precious dicks see someone in the 2nd tier returning to their seat and the commentators tut tut. f**k orf I say.

 

[hineyrulz]

Not taking the new ball lol.


Root has given up.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Root has given up.

Waiting for Ali to run through them

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, Stuart Broad, what a dandy.

 

[Twizzle]

Not taking the new ball lol.


Root has given up.

and about 6 men on the fence

Also on CA, don't make tix cheap today because of extreme heat and build a crowd.

No encouragement to CA Family with discounts either.

They’d walk away if someone in the crowd farted square of the wicket.

My last grumble...

Ch 9 shows all these great old highlights from tests over the years.

But no where I can buy full test series highlights packages.

I'd buy every highlight from every test from 1980 on if it was available. And the old World Series Cup.

Someone ruffles a chip packet in Adelaide and the princesses pull out in Sydney
