up there with Steve Waugh’s ton as an SCG moment

a deep cut

I knew it all along.

Wish all the draft folks realized this important fact.

@ataraxia @ankitj @CricAddict @Teuton

MacGill was physically done after Warne's retirement with awful neck/shoulder issues. I'm sure he would've retired himself at that point if not for Warne doing so; he couldn't let go of the dream.

a deep cut

A cut far more effective than Sajid has ever played.

I am talking about the fact that Katich has been the best wrist spinner for Australia since Warne.

Oh right haha, I thought you were just shitting on the Sweet Prince.

Incidentally Lyon copped a ton of **** in this series, probably fairly so, but he was excellent today. Fully deserved his five wicket haul, even if he could still stand to bowl a bit slower.

That Green Carey partnership probably ended up being the most vital stretch of the game.

Good tour for green and Carey overall tbh. Both batted well, Carey kept like a dream and green took wickets/catches when the opportunities came. Starting to feel like this is a decent team under Cummins.

****ing farcical that Harris/out of form burns started over Khawaja, just us the BG trophy.

Australian Wrist Spinners since Warne's retirement - 72 wickets @ 57.9, SR 89, Econ 3.9

Welcome to the club Mitch Swepson

The learning curve was so steep that it became 90 degrees

 

[Kirkut]

Not factoring in gutless batting

Fakhar Zaman should play tests, a couple of batsmen like him and Pakistani batting would be lethal.

I think trundler was just referring to the tail and batting allrounder Sajid Khan; the top order is fine tbh.

Australia won this for warnie

 

[Shady Slim]

just found a post by a bloke twelve years ahead of his time

want to express my sympathies to the Sri Lankan team, the Sri Lankan cricket community and to the good people of Pakistan who have had this happen in their own backyard.

To target a foreign sporting team for this kind of violence has to be as low as you can get. I hope that these cretans are not caught by the police, but rather by an angry local mob (four ropes and four motorbikes should do the job).

I am also glad after trawling thru this thread that no-one has got nasty against Pakistanis, because as I see it long term they will be the victims of a (international) cricket free society.

My mind lingers to the thoughts of, what if.....the rocket had hit, the bastards got on the bus....etc and I just have to shake it away, think of something else, cause it sucks too much to think those thoughts.

Sport is happiness, fun, entertainment, relief......... this is just wrong. Youd have to be a fair dinkum c***.

Sometimes we should treat the tail as 'specialists' (they can't hold the bat). Our expectations have rose higher with T20 cricket and tail smashing big hits.

 

[Shady Slim]

exemplary win and good on australia for a really good declaration that left all three results realistically possible heading in to the final day

cummins is a hero

Getting out because you suck and getting out because you bat like Tim Southee are different things though.

We also shouldn't have to treat the #7 like a specialist non-batsman.

 

[Slifer]

Haha what did he say?

So anyway, I ate my phone medium well. Great job by oz. Cummins is a modern day Malcolm Marshall. Australia may very well rise to the top again.

 

[smash84]

Predictable.

Well played Australia. Should have won this 2-0 but for the Babar effort last test.

Quite shitty pitches laid out for this series. Hopefully better ones in the future.

This is a crime against humanity.

Phones are best served rare with a side of broccolini and topped with red wine jus.
