We never win close ones. Pleased they had a decent go. Lesson is, bat time, runs will come. Every time we forced the issue we got out.

Happy now mate ?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 12-10-2018
The tail papered over the very large cracks in the top order, we need some players who not only can, but want to, bat time. I just can't see who they are at the moment. Warne suggested bringing in Stoinis for Handscomb, I just can't see it, Stoinis is a hitter, not a stayer, and we need a stayer (see Pujara)

Geee that last catch looked very, very iffy to my eye......
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-10-2018
I'm a zillion miles from happy but considering how few contributors we had I'm surprised we got this close
I reckon India are a bit suspect as well. Two batting collapses and coughed up close to 300 to a side that was beaten two days ago. If they're #1 we aren't light years off it. Need to learn from our obvious mistakes.

You weren't all that far off Prof

BTW, I'm with Fly, that last "catch" was grassed. Indians wouldn't want to birch about umpiring etc, they had a good run.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Gointocarlton - 12-10-2018
Bowlers gotta bowl out the other mob and make the runs. >
> This current crop of batsmen should hang their heads in shame. In the good old days, Langer, Haydos and Punter would have made those runs on their ear while the bowlers would have been doing recovery sessions in readiness for the next test.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-10-2018
Yep, even last year we would have flogged this mob but it's up to the group we have to get better. Can't rely on a Border, Steve Waugh, Clarke or Smith to cover up for the ineptitude of the collective. Take responsibility, get better.
As Kerry said to Ritch (paraphrasing billy Birmingham)... "don't get bitter, get better".
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-10-2018
Paine's injury probably saves Finch, in my opinion only Finch or Handscomb can captain.
I heard someone on the radio suggest Marsh should captain, and to also bring in the other Marsh as a bowler. I realise it's Perth but what the feck are they thinking?
