God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

Like Warner, hung around a year too long

Given Bazball is one day cricket disguised as test cricket Starc might be more useful than usual but he is at the end as is the injury prone Hazelwood. Warner should never been picked for this tour and I am a bit fed up listening to him telling us when he is going to retire under his terms..or was that his annoying wife saying that, I get confused with both of them having so much to say in the media.

X2.  Can't remember a player in any sport who had so much say over his selection.  His overweening confidence leans towards rampant narcissism.

X2 absolutely agree. Sick of the both of them.

Starc is a pie chucker

They keep giving Starc the cheap wickets at the end of the innings, I suppose if Hazelwood returns they'll drop Boland again!

Boland is the Meat and Veg of our pace attack now, we really rely on him to keep it tight and winkle the top order batsman out when the going gets tough.
Nice win though and its always nice to beat India and keep test cricket on the front pages of the Hindustan times....their super keen fans wont be happy.?

Good win to Australia. Test champions (officially) for the first time. One of many more to come.

I love how Boland was described as metronymic the other night by one of the commentators. Just comes in the same way and bangs it in on the right spots all day.

Indians didn't bitch too much when two of Cummins' dismissals were recalled due to after the fact no balls.

I'm gobsmacked but not surprised, listening today to SEN Sport pretty much every Ashes specialist they have interviewed expects Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood with Lyon.

Boland must be wishing he was a Saffie, or worse a NSWelshman!
