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

Is Gutho the most known player for parra.

I legit got called Gutho like 10 times today at the cricket in reference to my parra jersey as a laugh even from some pommies who probably watch NRL from afar.

I didn't realise the reach Gutho had tbh.

No Haynsey calls ?

Also can Warner just retire now please? He just looks well past it.

tbh We have bigger issues with Marnus and Green doing worse or just as worse

Smitn is averaging 33.00 this series so far, thats including his ton at Lords. Pretty weak for a guy labelled best since Bradman.Has got out to some dumb shots , far dumber than Warners dissmisals,

 

[eel01s]

Almost all over in 9 balls!

wash out seems to be our only salvation

who said Captain Pat is a conservative ?


yet we have one of our best gully fielders for a long time

I've been saying it since the first ball of the tour, Cummins is clueless and a horribly negative captain. That useless prick Ronny MacDonald has his fingerprints all over this as well. You can't expect to win when you aren't playing to win.

 

[T.S Quint]

f**k off Cummins. You might be able to bowl a bit, but you can't captain for shit.
The sandpaper drama still resonates within this team. Smith would still be captain if not for that bullshit.

So what are our captaincy options into the future, beyond Cummins?

Smith and Warner are not possibles. Who else do we have coming up the ranks to take over if needed (say if Cummins sustains an injury and has to sit out)?

Smith definitely possible, but Travis Head will be the next option.

TBH, I'd give it to him now and sack our bowling coach. This short shit is just feeding their strengths.

Cool, Travis Head would have a good few years ahead in the role if given the job soon.

Generally I think batters have made better captains, though not sure why...

Head has been captain of SA for a while and he has the experience, he's definitely the next cab off the rank

 

[hineyrulz]

I’ve never seen a captain as tactically inept as Cummins. The coaches need to answer some hard questions as well. After the way we bowled at Lords the penny should have dropped but it continues to get worse.

I'm the same on the whole bowlers as captain thing.
Who was the last great captain who was a bowler?

 

[the phantom menace]

The only one that jumps to my mind is Kapil Dev... and that's a long time ago now.

Maybe Shaun Pollock, but he could be considered more of an allrounder.
Daniel Vettori? Was he a good captain?

I couldn't agree more.
I just don't get it that the Pom's pedestrian attack of 130 km/h plodders (besides Wood who's seriously quick) has put us under constant pressure, yet they have no problems smashing our decent bowling attack around the park at will.
Cummins's tactics and field placements have been appalling.
I also agree that he and the coaching staff need to go if we lose this series.
Why are our batsman so scared of Robinson, Anderson, Broad etc...? They are plodders.
Smith, Warner, Labuschagne and even Kawaja have let this team down this series big time.
They have let the Poms intimidate them.
Bring back Steve Waugh and his win at all cost attitude.
Can you ever image SW placing all the fielders on the boundary during a test match????
I can't even be bothered watching tonight.
We are doing everything possible to lose an Ashes series that we should smash.

Great player at least.
According to my grandfather though, he was an arsehole.

My Pop used to tell me he couldn’t bowl for sour apples but a very good skipper. He was a hard marker he also thought Warne was an overrated blonde headed clown.

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh and we dodged a massive bullet and won the Ashes. Yay!! The Pommy tears have been delicious.

 

[84 Baby]

Even Englands own weather loves to laugh at them.

Have just flicked over - we have two days to chase 384 (or lose our 10 wickets), is that right?
