A week in the slammer! I guess it seemed a good idea at the time
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 07-28-2016
Must be some wonderful pitch to bat on. Might've been a two day Test if it wasn't for the rain.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 07-29-2016
Let the Lankans right back into the match. If it ever stops raining this will be a very tight finish.....or we'll capitulate spectacularly.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 08-06-2016
Nice series win 'Lankans, but don't be offended when the first test is in Brisbane and the pitch resembles the 12th at Augusta and the second is in Perth and is described by the groundsman as a "spitting cobra" of a deck...

Yep the spin of the Lankans had us bamboozled but I would expect a different story in Aus where the decks will be greened up and the little Lankans will be ducking for cover...
Maybe we need neutral groundsman to stop the conditioning of wickets to suit the home team...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 08-06-2016
Another side that seems to lose interest if the ball gets above the knee roll. Can't believe how well the Aust pace bowlers have been on these &^($($(ed decks, shows their class. Yet again its the muppets with the bats letting us down.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 08-06-2016
While we are no.1 (or were?) it's very even at the top with no great sides hence home ground advantage is huge. We can't play on the sub continent those sides, outside of the Pakis, can't play outside of it.
We can never replicate their conditions here to practice on it so the only way to counter sub continent conditions is to have a real world class spinner. Although Warne did struggle in India the Indians did not dare through up a dusty 10th day track on the first day hence our pacemen and batsmen could succeed.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Bear - 08-06-2016
We should still be able to account for Sri Lanka Jim... even an average score would have put pressure on their batting line up.

Not necessarily if the track is turning against a team with terrific spinners.
