God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

Richie Benaud says hi EB ?

Cummins just doesn’t seem to have a tactical grasp of the game … but how much of that is his role with the current set up?

We desperately needed Green to get up for that test.  He wouldn’t have weakened the batting and his bowling could have made a difference … at least it could have provided a point of difference.

Game has moved on a bit since Richie's days and he was more of a one off(Warne was one who might have been ok), Greens bowling was missed, not sure his batting would have prospered on the dodgy Indian wickets vs that quality spin but it couldnt have been any worse than Renshaw.
Cummins DRS work has also been horrendous and we squander too many referrals on no chance attempts.
South Africa have just trashed their poor performing test team from the Aus tour replacing Captain Edgar and sacking 5 players so no mercy shown there and we need to do a bit of that too.
