I hate this but can forgive him for thinking it's an easy win. In his head he's probably wondering what all the fuss about playing against Australia is.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Love the leg glance. Easily my best stroke. Favourite was the drive.

Edges aside, it's my only stroke (though I can play a pull if the pitch is sufficiently bouncy). I can play a drive, but only to fielders (on the full or not).

Let me get this straight - Brisbane couldn't even get the rain right? What a shithole.

 

[Prince EWS]

Fox Sports crew thing... what an absolute sausage fest.

It went from showers in the evening to cyclones to 20% to Marcuss saying he's very wet to confirmed delay to start of play to bright sunshine.

Fair to say nobody knows what the **** will happen.

Tbf, the odds of this win were about 1/20 which is ridiculously slim but a lot better than at 120/8 during the Mohali 2010 chase and obviously literally a hundred times better than Eden Gardens 2001.

Laxman is the only one I can forgive for not putting situations like this in perspective.

And yet they want us to change our lives on their theories of climate change

We live in an exciting, complex ecosystem with unpredictable weather, not a boring shithole whose weather you can set your watch to.

Seems like Ponting's tears may flood the outfield

 

[Kantaboon]

Gill has simplified the game so much that he plays all of his shots with his feet in the same position. He should be applauded for his inventiveness, especially if he hits it straight to square leg.

Virender Sehwag didn't have much variety when it came to feet positioning

 

[Athlai]

India about to prove that in 2021 spin no longer actually exists, that it was all a shared dream and then Warne will be banished back to the realm of eternal baldness.

Well tbf their own spinners have done well.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Getting back to 'intimidatory bowling', which is a term that is bandied about here by certain members who never progressed beyond playing cricket inside with a foam ball and who also wear cotton candy pyjamas to bed - what about a rating system for tailenders that dictates how many short balls they can be subjected to in an over? It could look something like this:

Rating​	Short Balls Per Over Allowed​
1. Coldplay - Yellow	0​
2. Radiohead - Creep	1​
3. Bon Iver - Holocene	2​
4. Taylor Swift - Shake It Off	3​
5. Ocean Alley - Confidence	4​
6. Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash	5​
7. Pearl Jam - Alive	6​
8. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name	7​

Once players graduate from a rating of 8, they are subjected to a random bouncer barrage like any recognised batsman would be.

I would easily rather face ten overs worth of nothing but pace at the skull than ever listen to anything Taylor Swift has put out over the years

Daily reminder on the last day of Matty's distinctly medicore Test career that Head > Wade.
