Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 08-28-2017
At 3 wickets down for 18 runs, with both Warner and Khawaja back in the pavilion, it is NOT LOOKING SATISFACTORY!
It appears that neither of these guys can play spin on spinning tracks. Hopefully somebody can play spin.... Or am I dreaming....

Khawaja was run out.
Smith can play spin but just got bowled

we were 4-33 at one stage....at least lyon was one of the outs....but long way back...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 08-28-2017
Wade has had enough chances... time to give another bloke a try. HIs batting, especially against spin, is rank.
Warner is on pretty thin ice as well IMO.

Agar is the best allrounder option we've got, he's got the class as a batsman that Mitch Marsh never had.......the crying shame is that he's a spinner & we can't play he & Lyon both during the Ashes !
Maxie just is also not good enough as a standalone spin option.....and Wade probably can't be batted at 6 to accommodate my dream Ashes attack of all 4 pace bowlers + Lyon.
Oh for a Gilly now.....or a Quentin De Koek !
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 08-29-2017
Isn't Agar a leftie? Hes taller than Lyon and a bloody good field as well.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 08-29-2017
Gees, Khawaja has had an awful test.

Dont mind Agar but are we leaning towards him because of his batting only and as our poor mans Moeen Ali...he has to be able to bowl teams out, not sure he
has done that in State Cricket yet?

2-51, Warner 40no of 48 balls. Need him to bat for a few hours then we'll be close. Need another 214.
Thought we'd struggle this Test, no match practice and straight on a dry, dusty turner. The Bangers are a real team at home these days. The beat England at home on the Poms last tour. Ball is spitting of the surface everywhere according to the commentary. Tough work. We'll actually have a easier time beating the Poms here.

Agree....spinning sub-continent wickets are the downfall of many a touring team.....we dont play spin that well and
I thought we would struggle. I'd expect us to beat a reconstructed Poms team easy on quicker bouncy wickets....
