1st Test at Brisbane, 8th-12th of December 2021

copeland on the big screen is good for cricket wonks and adds proper insight and it's cool to see that instead of mindless knob-slobbing about the old days

Someone said Hayden was commentating. Just how much of that sort of filth has he been spewing this morning?

Buttler in T20 mode

 

[Spark]

this is good from buttler but like... where has this approach been for basically your entire test career

 

[OverratedSanity]

Has Buttler finally been told to just play his natural game and go full intent in tests? Nice.

 

[Burgey]

Buttler with nothing to lose here. It's actually a good time for him to bat rather than say 5-150.

 

[Gnske]

Amazing that was almost a six.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wtf kind of outfield is that

He should basically always bat like this. Not reckless, but if it's in his zone then he should go for it. He's much too talented a batsman to just be poking around for a 35 run average at a 50sr.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Anything pitched up he's gonna attack. The approach is good (on paper).

i may have spent the morning daydrinking and watching anime with some mates so i don't know but haydos was awesome on comms vs india tbh, genuinely added a heap imho

 

[ataraxia]

That is awesome. When fielders don't run after it they can run five.

 

[Spark]

i thought he nicked that

 

[OverratedSanity]

Clear sound?

I'm surprised he has anything but insight on pig hunting and offshore fishing.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Okay, Buttler looks prime. A good bit of positivity from him that can spread to the other batters to come.

and so the pot and kettle meet at last eh

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Should he be iced down for at least half an hour?

 

[Shady Slim]

smiling thinking about the gormless dread that will befall inhabitants of nonce island when they awake to see they're all out for 137

Alex Hales is so stupid when he heard that saying he started naming all his kitchenware.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

You have gotta love test cricket man...the fightback is what matters, quelling the dominance from the bowlers.
