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

[Burgey]

Curious, was it cold in Sydney today? There was a bit of rain about but wouldn’t have thought it needed a sweater.

Nah was mid20s or so. But if breeze about though. Can get chilly at the ground if there’s a south-easterly blowing when you factor that in.

also good to see on this interview with Bairstow an English player looking like he’s actually enjoyed his cricket. They’ve basically looked tortured since day one of the series for the most part

 

[GIMH]

Not gonna lie, like most of my compatriots and indeed posters round here, I had severe Bairstow reservations. But you can’t knock what he did this morning.

 

[Burgey]

Decent knock Leach but no need really.

The interview on Fox? Don’t think it was that big a deal tbh.

his ton yesterday was very good though.

 

[Victor Ian]

This game is about **** ***** who some think shouldn't be in the team saying '**** you"

I guess it shows that talent does win out at this level at the end, even if very intermittently. No one doubts that Bairstow's got a knock like this in him, which is perhaps something you can't say of a lot of more "correct", but very limited, players England have tried

for a (newly) fat lad, baristow is still like lightning between the wickets. reminiscint of a hippo.

 

[GIMH]

Broad not hanging about then

 

[White Ball]

Broad not hanging about then

Don’t think he fancies facing the new ball ?

 

[stephen]

Did they really need to show us the launch speed and angle of the ricochet off his head

Yes, yes they do.

boland finally been figured out. so i think jhye will get a go for the hobart test. he'll swing it. rest starc for hazlewood if haze is fit as well.

two changes

jhye for boland(figured out)
haze for starc(looks worn)

fairly ordinary bowling performance.

 

[Spark]

Broad

 

[Prince EWS]

Broad trolling for a single with that shot is really amusing me

 

[Burgey]

Haze out for the series so Dermo Sabba Abbott should certainly get a call up now

 

[Spark]

Green should be bowling now, especially if Broad is going to slog

 

[Prince EWS]

Obviously wanted the strike against Boland.

 

[Spark]

Broad trolling for a single with that shot is really amusing me

"yeah come on"

 

[Prince EWS]

Green should be bowling now, especially if Broad is going to slog

"if"?

 

[GIMH]

Test Cricket is really gonna be poorer when Broad isn’t there anymore

 

[Spark]

literally was about to post that his average was over 10
