I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

Finch should be gone for the second test, he is not a test opener.

Yep, he's way too old as well. That bird has flown.

 

[Twizzle]

and too fat as well

Lyon did well. The tail, on the whole, did their job way better than the violet crumble bar top order.

It's funny that eh?
In a run chase, there's always plenty of pressure on the top order, and they inevitably crumble in most circumstances.
By the time it's gets to the tail, there's less pressure and expectation and they seem to handle it better. I'd like a sports phycologist's view on why this so often occurs.

He is good at stopping the ball with what passes for a neck, though!

Us lower order bats just figure if the top order blokes can't get it done we might as well bulk our averages and show them up...

Tail enders just bat the same way regardless, usually

Cummins, Starc and Lyon should be batting 4,5,6 in this side.

He ain't a Shield opener, averages 18 when opening for the Vics

Sooner the great nugget is in the top 6, the better we all breath tbh…

almost 600 Shield runs, average over 70

its time..

 

[Twizzle]

pitch is gonna be green apparently, it is a rather young pitch, could be over in 4 days

a sound defensive technique will be required so Fatty will be screwed

Maybe you should get off it mate.

 

[Twizzle]

looking at the pitch the whole team will be lucky to make 120 runs

 

[strider]

Haha ... i thought PB was posting actual results and that i missed the first day ... i should have known better

 

[Dibs]

Our batting lineup is lucky to make a 120 on a road

I'd seriously consider sending India in... Obviously depending on what the thing looks like this morning after it's all groomed and shit
