Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 12-26-2018
God, that pitch is atrocious
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-26-2018
Everybody knows the problem, but the game is run by accountants.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-26-2018
I don't see why Paine is copping flack for 'dropping' Kohli. He dived at least as wide as first slip, and the ball died before it was going to get there.
Awful, awful pitch. World class pace attack and they serve up that tripe. Disappointed.

aGREED, an embarrassment really.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 12-26-2018
He’s copping flack because he dropped him.
Pitch is poor but that doesn’t change the fact that he dropped him.
I love what Paine has done but it is what it is.
More interesting is the negative interviews about Warner.
You can only assume they are orchestrated by a higher power.
They either don’t want him back or want him to beg for permission
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 12-26-2018
I agree, it is very pointed against Warner. I assume this is a campaign to make sure he never wears the baggy green again
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 12-26-2018
Interesting discussion on the wireless this morning along the lines of Warner being the only leader in the Test team at the time of the sandpaper scandal. Smith’s comments bear that out.
How many demerit points will the MCG earn from this Test? Five points and there’s a 12 month ban :o
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Wet Willie - 12-26-2018
Bring back the sand paper!!! zzzzz...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 12-26-2018
Interesting to see Sutherland dumped on.

Can't think of one.
I know the moving ball is ALWAYS difficult to play against, but we don't appear to have the techniques to play against it, as a batting cohort.
As for this pitch, I know that the curators are aware of the issues, but they don't seem to be able to come up with the answers. They grow the pitch just near Richmond's ground: they should do it somewhere else and get the deck nice and hard and bouncy.
