Then chips it to mid on. Top score and out. Mentally exhausted you'd reckon.
Enough has been said about his brother... next.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 03-05-2017
Well, we've batted for the entire day even if we only scored 197 runs in the day. The batters' application can't be faulted.
This match could have any number of results, particularly if it rains, but I reckon we'd be in with a chance if we can get a 100 run lead on the first innings.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 03-05-2017
Our number 2 opener is a very good player, on home soil anyway....
Our number one opener looks like he could be a great.
What application and guts from a 20 year old.
Simple technique that will improve over time.
Doesn't go too hard at the ball, which is a great attribute on foreign pitches

A decent lead on 1st innings is critical.....if they can get a 150-200 odd lead before we bat next, look out! We're due a collapse!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 03-05-2017
At least they've had a fair dinkum go, can't knock that.
Application plus talent equals results.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 03-07-2017
This Test looks like it's headed towards and interesting conclusion; India is 163 in front with two wickets left.
I reckon we're in with a chance if the lead is under 200.
Hazlewood has the bowling honours this innings and it's interesting that the pace bowlers have done the damage.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 03-07-2017
Will be interesting to see if anyone gets dropped after this regardless of the result.
Warner and M Marsh surely must be looked at.
Warner doesn't look like he even has a plan, let alone executing one.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 03-07-2017
Warner is not reading the script and is not batting smart, but how a LH bat can be given LBW on a turning deck against a RH orthodox bowler staggers me.
Wade isn't doing enough either and we must have seen the last of Mitch "lead boots" Marsh. His brother is far too inconsistent for test level.
They had a real go but batting last on such an appalling pitch was never going to end well.
Would have been nice to have seen Kohli choke on it but the Hollywood script doesn't apply to Australian cricket.

6 for 11 off 10 overs - straight back to the bad old days.
Batting not good enough under pressure again- too many passengers who don't look like they are going to make runs. But we are unlikely to make changes.

Bad old days perhaps, but on a challenging pitch. We really do need another top order batsman, and a quality all rounder to stiffen the middle order and chip in with a wicket or two.
I'd like to see Maxwell in the 11 for the next test but I agree that changes are unlikely.
