Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 12-06-2018
India slowly worked their way back into the game, aided by some timid field settings - perhaps understandable with a novice skipper.
I think a fifth bowler would have helped. Surely we can find an all rounder who can bat and keep the pressure on one end :-\

Don't know why we didn't review when the bloke was 99. Bowlers got a bit ragged in the last session (understandable given the conditions) but Starc needs to play smarter. You can't always blast the tail out and there is a correlation between his length and his results - when he bowls short he bowls crap.

Novice captain?
It was the faintest of nicks but it was there and he could have been on his way back to the dressing room.

I see what you mean, the design is not very sophisticated. I can understand your concerns, it looks like something you might buy from a cheap merchandise stand. Of course the players will always respect it, but I think I agree, they deserve better.
FWIW, I realise it's not the same but when you go into the Imperial War Museum in the UK and see the work they did by hand on uniform emblems 200 years ago it puts this stuff to shame.
Back on the cricket, well done in the field in tough conditions but today is crunch day, it's time to see if the batsmen are now big boys.

Yep, seen many LP ... bullion patxhes
The work that went into them was incredible. Here's one from the 1930s

The thing I hate most about the Albion emblem is the eyeballs, it's rank amateur and not needed. They look like somebody has placed a couple of dots with a permanent marker!
The thing is the test cap should look elite, like somebodies Grandma has spent a year sewing it just so, no two the same, and not mass produced, and very very traditional.
When you get that baggy green it should mean something, not the like the brown paper bag version handed out in NSW!
The stupid thing is this, for the test caps, there are any number of agricultural shows you could go to and find the right people to make these caps in a very limited but elite way and they would do it for free!
But there are a lot of things that have gone this way, think about many of the modern trophies handed out versus the old world equivalents. Either the artisans just are not around, or profit has become more important than form and function.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-07-2018
Finch unlucky or poor shot, a bit of both?
I can't help but feel test selection mirrors Carlton selection. All last season we seemed to pick players after they peaked and were on the slide, is it some sort of world sport trend that you have to be on the slide before you get the nod?
Finch's selection feels two or three years too late!
FMD, listening to Simon Katich on radio he's going to town on Finch for a 3rd ball inside edge dismissal, yet he defends Warner when he bats!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-07-2018
Finch and Sean Marsh have one bat left to save their test careers.
