He might need to adjust his length a bit. You can leave a lot of balls on length over here which you have to play at elsewhere. It's just the pitches here are, like the men, hard and true.
Yeah my biggest worry is that his confidence will be shattered if this goes south. Playing Oz at the highest level in a 5 day match at 16. Could turn bad fast.
Is it really that bad? I haven't had clean air for weeks.
He had several great days without ever hitting 140. But yeah ... too slow.
Worst I've seen it today, out of any of the past few weeks. Couldn't see the Harbour Bridge from the Anzac this morning, air was so thick. Felt crook after being out in it for only a few minutes.*
Enjoy. The weather is pretty much perfect at the moment. Not too hot yet.
The good news is he's bowling to Joe Burns, who looks and acts like a feel-good late 1960s folk singer. So that should help. Will be very annoyed if the parties are unable to resolve this matter this morning and it runs.
It was sweltering for my coping levels yesterday.
Yesterday was hot and humid. It'll be humid today but max of 28. Should be decent bowling conditions.
Difference with McGrath is that he always was able to get bounce, something Amir not really capable of. And bounce is often a better weapon in Oz conditions than swing.
I've got some banging selfies for my IG after dangling on the ledge of a high rise!Sorry to hear you're in Brisbane mate. That's a tough blow.
Be honest, you've been on the GC at Schoolies, haven't you?
I was quietly concerned this would happen after Imran cleaned up in the tour game.
I’m there mate
Fair enough though shorter guys like philander have had success. I think you need a fast bowler in your side out here but fast medium can still work. I saw Amir at Brisbane last time. Not as quick as Riaz but operated around 135-142.
