1973 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 AND finally dropping Khawaja Surly have to leave Warner out as well has looked lost at sea can't keep his place based on the previous omissions of Khawaja and others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmercury Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 It's a farce, Mitch is average at best. Cricket Australia is delusional. I think Dad, Geoff Marsh must have something over the selectors...? Head's form hasn't been great but Warner's has been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Chucker Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Presumably the idea is to give them an extra bowler due to Cummins' workload and Lyon's injury. But that still doesn't make sense because they can leave Cummins out and still have Hazlewood, Pattinson and Siddle knock England over cheaply. Marsh doesn't do anything those three can't. At least he's a better batsman than Khawaja. Edited September 12, 2019 by Pie Chucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noob-A-Tron Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 England 9 LBW's and Australia 23 that's a huge difference. We have been bowled out 5 times and England 7 times that's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1973 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Great series for sure very surprised by the inclusion of Marsh even though he took some wickets and had a funny presser he is still the most hated man in Aus. cricket for sure Paine made a mistake by bowling first which potentially cost us a 3-1 series win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bowlers produced plenty of catchable shots on the first morning; the fact that they were all dropped doesn't make the decision to bowl a bad one. I'd say Shaun Marsh is probably the most hated man in Australian cricket, with Mitch a close second. Mystifyingly, James Sutherland never seems to land on that list despite doing more damage to Australian cricket than anyone else in my lifetime.

Bowling first was a HUGE mistake! everyone knows Lord's is a batman's paradise over 60% of wins from the last 10yrs have come from batting first which says enough about needing to bat first pretty sure everyone in commentary box said as much it was a bad decision yes we dropped a few catches but i don't think that would have swayed the outcome personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOKERPOKER Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Looks like Pakistan won’t be too much of a challenge this summer. Whilst it’s nice to win I miss the days when Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka were real competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Chucker Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) terrible crowd What would you expect when tickets are so expensive? I just bought tickets for the Sydney test- $90 for seats that are in the sun for half the day (full shade starts at $135). With the majority of their income coming from broadcast rights, you'd think CA would be doing everything they can to provide the best pictures (and sound) for TV, and that means having the ground full. If they halved the prices and let kids in free they'd be providing their broadcasters with better service, and it probably wouldn't even cost them much in gate receipts because the higher attendance would cancel out the lower price.
