Haha he just never looked like getting that 10th run, sorry brother

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Hameed just looks like an absolute shot duck out there


Getting to the point where he probably needs to be dropped for his own good as much of anyone else

wonder how much talk there'd be about how meek the hammer looks vs crawley if he was the six foot five white bloke and crawley was the skinny brown kid out there lol

i reckon in countries that aren't australia or seth effrika you'd probably see crawley nick off or get bowled a lot tbf

Yeah I do agree that this is one of the better places for him to bat. But he at least could be good in the right circumstances, where a lot of the English openers can't really.

Hameed isn't being criticised due to his race, he's being criticised because he's just a bit crap

Bizarre take tstl

Have you not met Shady before?

Crawley sorta looks like a right handed Matthew Hayden with a higher bat lift.

Tall, front foot dominant, likes the drive and front foot pull.

I don't think their colour has anything to do with it. It's the facts. Hameed has been poking around all morning and has played no shots. Crawley was the opposite.

Crawley has played some cracking shots this morning. That pull shot was fantastic.

eh i don't disagree that he's a bit crap but i think they're going on and on and on about it in a way they wouldn't if hameed looked like the aryan's wet dream and crawley looked like someone who would be stopped by airport security

 

[Son Of Coco]

Cummins has been a weird one this test. Pretty ineffective and has been belted going short. Could've been better if that catch was taken, but still.

 

[Burgey]

Starc gonna clean up here

Come on mate. Flip this. If Hameed was batting like Crawley and vice versa, the latter would be panned and you’d not raise an eyebrow.

He's had more then one dropped, no? Has been bowling way too much short stuff. Wood murdered it and now so it crawley.

As a punishment after the game?

not to this extent, they'd be saying **** like "but he just looks like he's got such potential, why isn't it coming together!"

 

[Shady Slim]

oh what's that lassie?! mitch starc has come on on the fifth day of a test and he's immediately bowling dross?! oh no! oh no!
