Solid recovery. I was having Cape Town flashbacks.

Great innings from Head. Never thought I could have so much respect for someone so short. Excellent from Green too.

 

[Hutty1986]

Even if you like him, that was pretty cringe.

I for one am ambivalent

Haha yeah wasn't great. PK goes good, though

 

[icewind]

his Bradman tribute was hella good imo

Well Cape Town has been a traumatic place for Australian cricket in the last 15 years. Perhaps there is curse there.

As being bowled for 47 wasn't the worst thing to happen to Australia in Cape Town in that time.

If Marcus harris ends up being the reserve batsman in the sub-contintent he can thank for not being picked in hobart.

Our next ashes test is 18 months away but gee the opening positions are a concern.

Warner opening in England 2023 will be a disaster he struggled when he was at his peak let alone the fact he will be 36 next year.

Well, I had to turn the telly off and went down the pub when Warnie started talking about Welcome Back Kotter and Epstein's Mum, f**k me that guy is a dick.

Gotta give a huge wrap to Head, he really is maturing into a class act, when I saw him walking to the crease I thought he'd be fodder and he'd be slashing at everything outside off till he knicked one, but f**k me he showed some maturity in his shot selection. Big ups to him.

And f**k me Green makes my pants tight, runs and wickets and he's only 22. He is going to be a huge asset for us as he gains more experience. He is a rare talent.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Btw can anyone imagine what would have happened if we were playing India yesterday and they saw that wicket before the toss.

Someone would have caught covid so they could go home.

Labs, head and green good innings.

What has happened to Smith - is the hunger gone? Gotta wonder if he'll pull the pin soon. He said he wants to win in India and England before he retires, must be absolutely frustrating to dominate two of those series and not get the result (f**k you paine).

He'll get another chance at both in '23.

To be honest, I thought he's score a run-a-ball 40. Proved me wrong. It may not have been as patient and measured as Khawaja in Sydney, but he did what you needed a #5 to do, even if in his own way.

 

[Meth]

Australia are obviously going to look to score as many as they can here. This pitch is quite like some of the pitches that you get in NZ, I think, and I think 350 is a pretty good first innings score. Anything north of 300 will be a good result

Now Broad is yelling into the stump mic

 

[Meth]

That's a tail ender shot. Not an all-rounder shot

 

[Eelectrica]

Gotta get that Bash boost. Damn the wickets.

 

[Hutty1986]

Classic Starc brainfade tbh

Now Broad is yelling into the stump mic

he has no friends to talk to

 

[Twizzle]

speaking of which

TOMMY CAN YOU HEAR ME !!

Bowlers bowling bouncers to bowlers.

 

[Twizzle]

Vaughan not a fan of Root's captaincy

 

[This Year?]
