Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 10-13-2016
AS Jim said ..one day cricket only and we sent a 3rd class bowling lineup...Saffies have rebuilt a bit and are handy at home but I wouldnt be too worried about our prospects for this summer..

Slightly different topic, but what is going on with the questioning at the coronial inquest for Philip Hughes? Seems very aggressive and unfair towards the players...

Not sure Doug Bollinger would be feeling that great, and probably glad he didnt bowl that fatal ball, we know things get said without malice and we know Doug was only sledging but that would play on your mind...

Are they telling fibs?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 10-14-2016
I'm surprised the Coroner inquest would actually be talking this much about sledging. They think it's a new thing?
Always be interesting stuff said a cricket pitch in the name of getting a mental advantage. We just rarely hear it. Remember Clarke telling Anderson what Mitchell Johnson was going to do to his arm, think it was "going to fkn break it".

The SC assisting the coroner has urged that the sledging discussion be ignored and, with the exception of the Hughes family, there's furious agreement that nothing about the play, tactics, sledging, etc contributed to the death.
The family seems to be desperate to blame someone, and that's understandable.

I agree with that... but have the players been telling fibs?

Does anyone actually believe people went out that day to kill Hughes?! I 100% doubt it!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 11-03-2016
Well...day one of the Test summer......certainly went pear shaped for the Saffers. Starc didn't bowl that I thought & still got 4....looks like he's inherited Johnsons happy knack !
Pretty poor batting from SAF, on a pitch that really should have been a belter to bad on again. A little bounce, but no sideways movement to speak of. As an ex fast bowlers I love watching great quick ply their trade no matter where they're from (even sometimes if it's against us !).....and on that score I was pretty disappointed in Steyns performance. A bloke with that much experience & talent falling into the trap of bowling too short at the WACA is unforgivable....and he payed the price. One thing about Steyn though, he quite often looks ordinary & disinterested in one spell......and can then rip the heart out a lineup a session later. This mornings first hour will be huge. The game is almost already gone for SAF...unless they can pull off a miracle, or bat for a couple of days to force a draw...which is very possible in Perth.
cheers
Mal.

Still four days to go and the side needs another quality RH bat. Neither Marsh convincing, Siddle role player at best until injured strike bowlers get fit.
