3rd Test at Melbourne - December 26 - 30

[Gnske]

OS fuming at this innings so far

Thoughts on this filth @OverratedSanity

Quick singles are still the low percentage option for a batsman

 

[Gnske]

In worse news, Warner is looking more like his fluent self.

 

[Spark]

He's always for the very thing he's (unreasonably) excoriating.

Also he keeps on about "95,000" people being at the G for Boxing Day. The ****ing record attendance at this ground is just over 93,000. The previous best was 90,000... which happened sixty years ago. STFU, Warney you ****ing n00b.

Did I read this right that he's apparently lambasting back-and-across movements in Tests? Might want to look at how every single world class Test batsman going around right now bats champ.

 

[Gnske]

More captains need to try out a fly slip from time to time.

 

[Spark]

This is seriously good heat from Wood btw.

 

[Gob]

Those of you that feel deprived of good test cricket, don't forget to check out South Africa/India
starting in just over an hour, should be a cracker of a series.

South Africa are horrible. They lost 3-1 to England at home

why is your avatar a famous pr0n star?

Big 6 for Rutherford off Astle in the Super Smash.
More interesting than the Ashes

No question about that, and with the big bash starting in a few minutes, ashes becomes 3rd on the list.

Not necessarily back and across, more weird setup movements in general was the vibe. He used Smith as an example to the contrary occasionally being true, forgot Marnus though.

His message seemed to be "why do they not stand still". I was just reminded of the hoggpile incident during the entire rant where players of that generation hate what the new generation do for gimmicks. Like not taking their baggy greens to Wimbledon.

it's a fair point, that's why shaun marsh scored 7000 test runs for australia at an average of 48

If this is what it was, he should be sacked.

 

[Spark]

geez warner's footwork is a mess against wood. can't recall warner looking this bothered by extreme pace too often

 

[Gnske]

It literally was. His point was all the great batsman stood still. And he rattled off a few names to prove his point.

All because they showed a 3 second clip of noted FC batsman Marcus Harris shimmying at the crease.

Greg Chapell hack confirmed

Warner footwork? myth

Should be Boland

 

[Spark]

Warner footwork? myth

i mean he's liable to kick short leg in the jewels, his back foot is going that far to the legside

 

[Spark]

i think r ponting is about to run out on the field and throttle root and/or the bowlers if they don't start pitching it up

 

[halba]

aus may not have to bat again if much at all. good news is bowlers will be rested to fire in the 2nd innings.
