4th Test at Sydney (?) - Jan 5-9 2022

[Gnske]

wonder if Langer will ever consider Usman to be like a little brother

Langer is exactly the type of guy to unironically say "We're all brothers and sisters in this world" tbh

 

[Spikey]

damn that's good

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Travis Head's fielding position on his cricinfo page is listed as wicket-keeper.....

Used to keep at bit in juniors, that probably had already stopped by the time he first became a Shield regular

Don't recall if he ever did the job for TTG, Diesel Davey took the gloves throughout that time period

never too late to make a comeback

Khawaja actually backed Langer very publicly when all the talk about him getting sacked was doing the rounds

I'm pretty sure that public backing is covering up for something.

 

[Spikey]

whats with cummins here

 

[Nintendo]

I know we've won the ashes now and all, but I'm really not hopeful for our upcoming Asia tours. Marnus and head are untested, Warner is horrid away from home, green can barely hold a bat ATM, Carey looks clueless and was inept when he played T20 on those kind of pitches, Harris is Harris and smudge isnt in God mode anymore.

Eh, that video seemed perfectly sincere to me.

On that note, I know a lot of people point out Khawaja's arguments with Langer in Amazon's The Test. But I think back to Langer trying to explain with a straight face how he admires Usman for being his own man while clearly gritting his teeth after their disagreement about nets practice I think.

 

[Spikey]

oh no this is going to be the worst 99 for me to sit through

Yet without that they've gotten above-par scores in every game so far on bowlers' pitches. Green and Carey worry me for sure but important to keep perspective

 

[Jarquis]

Can’t remember ever wanting a bloke to score 100 against England as much as Khawaja in this Test

 

[Spark]

no pat that's not what you're meant to do

 

[Spark]

though tbf they're gonna get one more in

 

[Spikey]

the fake captain is a bad guy

edit but good one root for allowing enough over

edit edit wow

 

[stephen]

Cummins teeing off.

 

[social]

Guy on 99 so bring on part timer seems weird

 

[_Ed_]

 

[Gnske]

Cummins is NOT a team man

 

[ashley bach]

Usman has looked good all innings here, it'll be a well deserved ton.
can't help but feel he should have played much more test cricket than he has.
