**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[social]

Just needed to give some respite to the main bowlers and take advantage of conditions if need be.

Jadeja & Ashwin are 2 of the greatest bowlers in history and have about 10 centuries between them

Won’t affect the result but it’s a ridiculous selection under any conditions

 

[Skyliner]

Kohli vs Marnus today, and Kohli found a method and came out on top - which just confirms why he is considered one of the greats.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yeah let's manufacture an opener because any middle order bat with a FC average of 38 can do it.

McSweeney 10 & 0

Update this thread and put the 10 in it

Cataloguing the best innings of X runs in test history

Warning: This is going to be really stupid, boring and pointless but in this thread I shall be picking the best test innings of 0 runs, 1 run, 2 runs, 3 runs, etc in test history all the way up to whatever score until I get bored. I've gone through every single scorecard on Cricinfo to research...

Protecting Marnus That's like putting a security guard in charge of the box I put the outdoor furniture pillows in overnight

Pitch might be starting to play some tricks but I think this shows that the new ball was kind of wasted yesterday.

 

[SteveNZ]

Sweeney was unlucky there tbf. It just didn't bounce.

Yeah, did nothing wrong. Awful luck

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Surprised they sent Cummins out here when Marnus played a GOAT nightwatchman innings the other day.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Can't be bothered reading much of the protein chat (so may have been mentioned), but surely dahl is a very good source of protein

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Jasprit Bumrah average watch: 20.05

 

[Son Of Coco]

No way we were making it through to stumps without losing at least one.

Dont think it was wasted. Starc and Haze were brilliant. Its just what happens when your batsmen give you an under par score, you tend to go searching as bowlers. It happened to us a number of times against NZ when our spinners bowled worse simply because they were trying to do too much after the batsmen let them down.

 

[Skyliner]

Shastri just realising now that the ball that got McSweeny kept low.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Australia going for the win. Since Cummins is their best player in a run chase they've sent him in early

naah.

Conditions matter.

After WTC final, Ind put Shardul in who did well in both Trent Bridge and Oval. And Shardul is not even a very good player.

Pandya has also won Ind a match in TB.

 

[BazBall21]

Marnus should not be asking for a nightwatchman when the game is done.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

This could be all over tonight at this rate lol

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, that feels a bit of a waste. Admittedly Australia were always losing this no matter what, but Cummins could've made a real nuisance of himself against a tiring attack late in the day tomorrow. Here he was always going to be a lamb to the slaughter.

 

[Skyliner]

They are sending in another night watchman.

 

[Coronis]

Marnus should not be asking for a nightwatchman when the game is done.

Did he ask for it or did Cummins take it upon himself. Feel the latter is more likely. As a pride move.

DSP JAILS CUMMINS THE CHIEF CRIMINAL!
