2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

[Spark]

Labu has looked really dreadful this series despite a couple of ok scores. Especially against the short ball hes been clueless.

to be fair, the bowling has been of a very high standard. so the fact that he's faced as many balls as he as is an achievement, albeit one that's occurred with a huge dose of luck

Oh dear not another concussion?

 

[Gnske]

Wow what a terrible over rate, someone should complain about it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Do Aus even have a back up batsman

 

[Daemon]

Feel like there's been more people getting clocked in the head ever since the concussion rule came in. Probably just a coincidence.

 

[aussie tragic]

Why does it take so long to get a new helmet. Surely players can have two identical helmets ready to go

short ball techniques don't seem great in general tbh, but i think we just pay much more attention to it now

Harris, and if it was Green who got hit, Henriques

 

[trundler]

Multiple unchecked concussions would explain a lot of strange ex cricketer opinions.

Darkest before the dawn my ass

I think the number has gone up since Covid, and my explanation for that is everyone is rusty.

Mad dog
Or you meant in the squad

 

[Spark]

i reckon siraj needs to bowl from a bit closer to the stumps tbh. without extra bounce and consistent away-seam, he needs to really bowl a tight line and that'll be a bit easier if he gets tighter to the stumps.

 

[Gnske]

Warne can't make a ****ing decision over his feelings on this team.

 

[cnerd123]

Labu batting on. I wonder if the concussion testing protocols account for delayed symptoms. Hope he's actually okay at either rate. Did they require he change his helmet too?

yeah this is the big question that no one wants to talk about - what to do about delayed symptoms. at least they actually checked him this time though.

 

[Arachnodouche]

What a ****ing headcase Labuschagne is.

 

[Burgey]

Yes they did

 

[Gob]

Marnus looks flustered

In the match context they just replace you anyway don’t they? Wasn’t that what happened with the Smith replacement at Lord’s?
