**Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

[RossTaylorsBox]

Such is the high farce of this crap test match that both teams are now scouring their playing XIs for the shittest bowlers they can find so the real ones get a breather.

what a time to be alive.

Prisoner's dilemma* says the best solution for both teams is to call it off with a draw right now, which is kind of hilarious.

*dilemma named after the people who have to live in Brisbane for some reason

Isn't it the case that the game would actually have been a complete washout had it been held when the Perth Test was held?

The weather has been horrific this year but December generally gets a lot more rain than November

 

[Burgey]

**** Brisbane weather, BTW. Dew point of 22 Celsius at 3am in the morning. HOW AM I MEANT TO SLEEP????

Move to Australia

We have a plant nursery located between the GC & Brisbane with an automatic watering system

System hasn’t been needed since September, dams are overflowing and paths washed away

 

[Burgey]

Hahahahaha what a flex by Deep. Love it.

 

[Burgey]

Then Head gets him next over. What a great litle passage of play.

I know that Travis is no world beater with the ball but he’s underused as he can take a wicket

 

[Burgey]

He's certainly of more use to the side with the ball than MMarsh right now

He gives the ball a proper rip, which is unusual for a part time offie - in the right conditions he's a serious threat. I hope he bowls a fair bit in SL

Bumrah shouldn’t be warming up. Don’t care if they slog

Mitch Marsh once famously said he was hated by most of Australia. His game has come full circle.

I'm mainly pissed off he keeps talking it up that's he's ready and fit to bowl as many overs as needed and then bowls bugger all.

Or just chuck him the ball every now and again when nothing is happening because he does make things happen

He’s made of tissue paper and hardly bowls for anyone else so can’t be relied upon to do it in tests

Looks like it’s about to chuck it down so could be all over

Cursed game lmao

Just saw this quote about Marsh from Vettori

"He's good to go, there are no issues around his fitness," Daniel Vettori, Australia’s assistant coach, said last night. "He'll be incredibly important part of the next two Tests, particularly Melbourne, I think that is a wicket that suits him. And to be able to complement whoever comes into that team, that is when he is at his best."

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Okay, Ewwwwwwwnough of this test. That should be it.

@Burgey prophetic

 

[centurymaker]

Should call it off already.

Doubt there's gonna be any play.

 

[Qlder]

Looks like cricinfo gave up and left. Last comment was nearly an hour ago for innings change and to say it's a bit gloomy but no rain yet...

 

[Spark]

Does make all the conjecture over what Australia could/couldn't have done totally academic at this point. You're never winning any game of cricket in which three days get washed out.
