Not as juicy as the days when a few idiots on here wanted James Butterworth picked for Tests on the back of dibbly dobblies on the Hobart greentop though

*Luke Butterworth

And I wouldn't necessarily say Hobart has gotten less friendly. The big change was Adelaide after Les Burdett thankful retired. Turns out you can make a bouncy pitch there when you leave a bit of live grass on it and don't roll it to death.

I’ll have nothing against that poster

he’s the Anderson to your hadlee

No contest

u don't even know who he is bro

 

[social]

In that mask

 

[Burgey]

Robinson will pick up the last two and the more brain dead of our English brethren (ie the recent additions) will say he bowled well and took more wickets than Broad and Anderson

 

[Spark]

*Luke Butterworth

Yeah as the edit says, he was so mediocre if the pitch didn't look like the outfield that I forgot his actual name

 

[TheJediBrah]

That selection was a Warne brain fade the selectors picked up wasn’t it?

Yeah Warne was talking him up for a while and this was before everyone realised Warne's opinions were kind of dumb a lot of the time

Played for Warnie's old club in Melbourne

 

[slowfinger]

I think England can eek a draw out of this and save face

Nah, not enough rain and pitch looks too quick for this to peter out.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

I wish eng beaten

I reckon Smith is the best away from home batsman since Bradman. And Bradman only played in one other country.

And that's why you bowl with a third man to Cummins.

From memory Bradman played a test series in India in 1947/48.

They don't do draws though

 

[Socerer 01]

No, he played against India at home. Australia didn't tour there till 59/60.

 

[Socerer 01]

can't save test cricket and get the zoomers involved with draws
