Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 11-17-2019
It's a test series that I'm afraid holds little interest for me. Wouldn't even bother watching if it wasn't for Steve Smith.

If you were picking on form you would pick Harris but maybe the two lefties opening idea has been shelved after Broad's work in England.
Tour game he come in at the last minute, when Maddinson dropped out, and batted at no.6 rather than open. He looked very at home again a very good attack on fire. Australia A were 9/57 (might alone answer why the cupboard is bare) with only Bancroft holding up. He and Riley Meredith managed to take the score to 122. He looked so much more comfortable at no.6.

By the way……getting very sick of seeing ads from Channel 7 proclaiming itself as “the home of cricket”….with that doyen of Cricket commentators Bwuce Mceveny……..
Just because you throw a whole heap of Fox backed money around & buy the rights to something that has been on another channel for 30 years doesn’t make you “the home of cricket”
Especially, when you refuse to show most of the matches involving the national side !!!!! & their coverage last year was sh1t….just like their AFL coverage.

It's classless malo. But so is the administration of the game. It's just throwaway junk
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-20-2019
Well, that just stuffed my plans for today. Won't be watching anything with Bwuce in it.... ABC grandstand in this house or I'll get tickets.
F him, he stinks up footy with his sh1t excitement based commentary, piss off and leave cricket to the people who watch it because they love the game.

Don't think he's actually on the commentary team mate....just front & center in the promos....for whatever reason !
BTW, Pakis putting together an opening stand we'd have died for in England.....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 11-21-2019
Pakis playing old fashioned make the bowlers come to you test cricket, leaving a lot of deliveries and hitting the bad ones, its a good track in Brisbane
but we just lack a fifth bowler IMO.
Ch 7 have more commentators than players out on the park....Ponting is excellent but its slim pickings after that, Slater and Fleming dont do it for me, Katich is reasonable..
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 11-21-2019
current Test batting programming has been resumed
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - flyboy77 - 11-21-2019
Pakis now 5-99.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-21-2019
Malo, thankfully Bruce wasn't part of the team, but Brayshaw unfortunately was. I don't understand why that peanut gets a gig, has zero feel for the game, not knowledgeable enough to meaningfully analyse things, just carries on like he's in a beer garden with his hipster mates.
