TJB in ruins

Really need one of these two to go on and make a big score, this looks a loooooong tail

Love how you've made this comment at 1 down, implying the tail literally starts at 4

Not too far off -- looks like it started at 5.

OK that is one ridiculous innings, even if it was at KRO.

Morne Morkel commentating on aus domestix, I don't entirely understand why but I love it

Once again I'm reminded that there's actually a pretty healthy number of top tier retired international cricketers who basically live in Australia from elsewhere but who seemingly haven't been approached to help either the national or state associations with advice or training.

When he retired he basically did so because his girlfriend was an Aussie and they wanted to spend as much time here as possible, so it didn't surprise me at all. He lives here.

It's a huge oversight by the various State and national boards.

Absolutely. Seems a missed oppurtunity to not make use of that

I know all of this, was more thinking that Morne never seemed to say much at all for most of his career, certainly wouldn't have thought he would be intetested in commentary

Ah right, yeah bowling coach seems like a better fit for him.

Handscomb would have made 330

Handscomb would have made 330

Wade would have made 30 though.

i have no problem with travis head in the team for LOIs. should be a million miles away from the tests howsoever

picking players for the long form based on LOIs demonstrates clownery of the highest order

 

[Burgey]

I love that when you click on the link to this match on the CA website, it takes you to the scorecard of match 11 of the 2020 under 19 WC.

Was a pretty big win for India over Japan ftr.

OK, let's look at his recent FC performances.....


....oh wait, he scored 163 last dig.

Averaged 13 in county before that tbf.

compare that to his record at test level which is consistent failures whenever he hasn't played an attack that you or i would put a hundred and fifty on

i have no doubt that he'll fill his boots against a shithouse english attack this summer in a 5-0 romp that the casual fans will love. doesn't mean that he's good or warrants the spot tbh

 

[Burgey]

Head is a better option in the middle order for Aus than Wade (obviously) and also pretty much every other contender. Averages a most respectable 42 against the reigning world test champions, too. Who would be a better option in the middle order among current Aus batsmen?

i mean i back in big mo, and i am open to someone younger too.

you have to remember re that average against NZ, new zealand in australia are tantamount to sri lanka in australia tbh

 

[Burgey]

I'd get on board with Moises were he younger, but he's 34. Probably next in line for that spot though, he's been very consistent the past few years.

Then again, he's had to be to carry a line up with Spudwards and Spudgha in it.
