Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 10-11-2018
Gutsy effort that, takes a lot of application to bat five sessions in searing heat on a busted up deck. Batting out draws (tine) is not something we are good at.
Old idiom in cricket... You can't win a test in a session but you can certainly lose one.

Australia as part of Australian Cricket might be in trouble, but Shield and First Class cricket is back and it's a ripper!
I'm pegging some good times ahead for Australian Test cricket, once we remove the final remnants of the past! Hint, hint!

202 not out for Will Pucovski for Vic vs WA, haven't seen much of him but he's starting to put up some good numbers. Only 20 years old

Grow a pair Langer, ditch the Marsh boys, they just aren't good enough. No more excuses, no more fluff. Drop 'me.

Yep, you know what they say about the definition if insanity..................!

Marsh boys amongst the runs again.....NOT.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 10-17-2018
Sons of a mate, going to have to do more than that to get dropped
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 10-17-2018
Geoff Marsh has too much influence. Sorry mate. Your boys are duds, they must be dropped. That's what happens to batsmen that don't make runs, it isn't personal, that's the game.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 10-17-2018
Well, letting the Pakis off the hook, and then collapsing like a pack of cards is not the sort of thing followers of cricket want to see.
Not many safe spots in the team at the moment.

While I agree in the intent, the problem this test wasn't just the batting it was also the bowling. That 1st Innings total by Pakistan was way over par on that pitch. but the media is patting the bowlers on the back!
I said this for a while now, and it is biting us again. We have no effective new ball bowlers at the moment. Starc sprays it like underarm deodorant, Siddle just doesn't have that extra bit of pace he needs for the top level.
The batting was atrocious, but the bowling wasn't much better!
