Bit worrying that Head also has to go away and refresh. Who's the aussie batting coach?

Marnus needs one bad. Clearly needs to go back to church and see what god has to say about his batting

FFS Mcgurk swung like a rusty gate opening the batting with 2 fielders otutside the circle, hit 2 of 5 balls and nicked off for 10(5). Sunil narine could do the exact same thing, no need to jerk the lad off so much FFS.

Why is it worrying? It's what should have happened regardless, him not being rested for this series was an obvious mistake.

 

[TheJediBrah]

He's hit some boundaries but **** me does Green face a lot of dot balls. Not sustainable for a career unless he hits even more sixes more often

"I've watched cricket at this stadium for 62 years, straight bowlers are the ones who do the best. Oshane thomas is crooked and they've gone to him, hayden walsh is straight and he's been left out." Kerry o'keefe, 2024.

Wait, what's he actually trying to say here, presumably it not actually meaning what it looks it means?

Did they nick name him skull coz that is all there is in his head?

Think it was his line? Marnus had smashed him straight on the backfoot for 6 then cut him away in the over. Was bowling a bit wide. I don't know why hayden walsh was the example of a bowler who keeps it a bit straighter, motie always struck me as that dart it in at the stumps type spinner.

 

[Spark]

Can we fire the SCG curator already? How are they incapable of producing anything other than two-paced dreck?

 

[TheJediBrah]

5 for in the 17th over lol this is a **** show

 

[Nintendo]

It's a two paced deck FFS stop trying to hit the ball on the up.

 

[Spark]

It's not good batting but seriously. The standard of pitches at the SCG this summer have been a disgrace

 

[Nintendo]

Now o'keefe has called thomas a "slinger." Starting to think there's a second meaning to all of this.....

 

[TheJediBrah]

That shot was not necessary, and going for the catch one handed was not necessary. Pretty bad cricket all around there

 

[Nintendo]

Jeez this innings has been frustrating. So many bats getting in then throwing it away.

I really know it sounds churlish but seriously enough is enough with this SCG pitch. It's ****ing awful.

You're gonna get another Pitch Award.

It's not perfect but it's not that bad. It's a different challenge and these guys have failed it miserably
