Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-17-2015
Chris Rogers doesnt look much but it goes to show that application and playing within your limitations can work for you just as well as being a gifted player with more natural talent.....his back cutting off Ali was so good to watch as was Smiths driving through the offside....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 07-18-2015
Darren Lehmann has to have some serious discussions with a couple of players about their retirement plans.
He needs to convince Haddin and Watson that the time is right and he probably should tell Voges to think seriously about his future.
On the other hand, he should in Buck Rogers' ear about continuing his Test career.
It's sad to hear that Haddin's daughter is back in hospital. Hopefully it's just a minor setback.

That ball of Hazelwoods to Bell was perfect....nothing less.......better than anything Jimmy Andersons managed in two tests.

Gem ball...outswinging yorker pitched on middle hitting off....Bell has a good technique which makes it even a better ball and it wasnt wasted on a bozo who cant bat....
Lythe and Ballance are duds..the latter has zero technique, reckon they are playing their last tests this series......Stokes is a better player than I thought and has a good technique
for a player more renowned for being a big hitter and moves his feet well compared to some of his team-mates whose footwork is woeful.
Be one all in a couple of days time unless we have some rain....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Amers - 07-19-2015
Only 2 players scored over 50 in our 1st innings. On a good wicket, that is still not good enough, we were just fortunate that Rogers and Smith both made big scores.
We have bowled a lot better in this test, than the 1st test.

The best player in the history of the game in the best touch of his career would have missed that. Best nut I've seen in some time.

England batting a second time and Lyth gone caught behind for 7..shame he more than likely wont be playing next test, Ballance in and I'd expect him to be on his way too soon....
Chris Rogers retired ill after suffering a dizzy spell and looked very unwell and dazed when he sat down near the pitch, hopefully its nothing to do with his recent concussion.
Just recovered from an inner ear virus myself similar to Jason Day the golfer and its not very pleasant watching the world go around and your falling off it...good luck to Rogers as he is playing so well and hope he recovers for the next test and Watto isnt needed...
Cook just gone to a wild cut shot...the end is nigh....

I stayed up to watch it. Thought I'd have a glass of wine as they started their innings and go to bed around 11.00 (perth time) with them maybe 2 or 3 down.
Didn't even finish a 3rd glass!!!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 07-20-2015
Smith/Rogers 3/495 d England 415.

That's when the WA time zone is very handy!
I had a few glasses but packed it in when they were five for - I need my beauty sleep
