I don't really see the value of Starc when the ball isn't swinging...

 

[kingpin]

well ozz batsman wont rotate the strike and when they want to this happens.

Guptill's love affair with Phil Hughes continues.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow that was a crap bit of running. This is great fun watching this shambles, reminds me of tours of ours of old.

 

[Spark]

Useless ****s

Reverse swing.

It was starting to happen even in the NZ Sri Lanka game

 

[Prensel]

Guptil to stay in the test team due to his fielding.

 

[grecian]

HaHa shambles.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

If Hughes ever cheats on his missus you better believe that Guptill will catch him out.

Bowled Martin?

aussies having trouble with our pace unsurprisingly

I can't get over how hilarious Mitch M's post injury bowling has been. The guy who idiots demanded make the test team with a batting average for a bowling average 5 years ago because he was supposedly lightning fast is now taking bucketloads as a straight up medium pacer who gets bounce and movement.


He's going to get back to the 135-145 range eventually but this is fantastic. He deserves credit too because the old Mitch M of 5 years ago would be getting pumped without his pace.

I genuinely wonder what batsmen think when they face him and then look at the speed gun

 

[Maximas]

The ump is looking so pleased with himself now

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yay we don't throw away our review for once!

 

[Prince EWS]

Mills v Wade has been absolutely hilarious.

When he bowls it looks like the ball accelerates off the pitch, though thats just the naked eye and not very scientific. I think I said something on his debut that he was bowling 135ks and it looked like 145ks.

There are a few bowlers like that. I reckon if we were able to go back in time and clock some bowlers there would be a few "genuine quicks" who were actually 130s.

 

[Flem274*]

Just nick it shunt.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

doesn't look too happy with anything bowled in his half

 

[ajdude]

was a good decision from jordan bannister

 

[Days of Grace]

Fantastic over.

 

[straw man]

I thought Wade was meant to be a good batsman? Mills wasn't really getting much movement there - just pitching it in the right place.
