Wonder why NSW batted so long in their first innings?

If jack wildermuth was english he would have played 50 tests by now.

I think they kinda had to. getting enough runs to win by an innings was their best option. the problem was, as we've seen with NSW for years even when they do perform with the bat, they batted too slowly. I joked about Edwards, but one boundary in a 100 ball innings isn't really what NSW needed. Ditto Henriques and Gilkes but at least those two were batting earlier in the innings and had Hughes flying at the other end

Feel really terrible for Pucovski because he's so talented and seems like such a nice guy but he has to give it up. CA can make sure he's looked after, as England did with James Taylor after his heart issue.

Thank God for helmets

replace leonard nimoy with a cricket helmet

Told you NSW batted too long

Ben manenti is a hero. Twice the red ball mcgurk is while being a tenth the Muppet mcgurk is.

Edit: If anyone is so inclined, give mcgurk's instagram followers list a gander. More thirst traps then the sahara desert.

Could he be the hero Australian cricket needs but does not deserve when it next tours the subcontinent?

 

[Spikey]

oh they absolutely did, because they batted too slow! the amount of runs they ended on was fine, maybe 250 would have been nicer. a 3.54 RR wasn't good enough, but I guess when NSW struggles to make 200, it's probably a little unreasonable to want them to score 500 at 4 an over.

they ended up losing about 30 overs for the game I think?

Tassie winning this round basically assures them of a final spot doesn't it? Be nice to revert to a points system which makes it easy to work this **** out.

every BBL fan knows deep down that it should be a Chris Green/Ben Manenti spin attack but noooo we have to pick nathan lyon, who has never even made a test 50. what are we doing here.

Pretty crazy to think that Agar has gone from test team to no real fc future in his home state in about 12 months

I know he wasn’t playing much red ball stuff before that test but he’s miles behind Rocchixyz now

Cricinfo seem to be suggesting they will both play the next game, Rocchiccioli said as much when they spoke to him

Personally I wouldn't bother tbqh

Literally just won the AB medal and is our highest averaging Test batsman in the last 10 games

Webster is the sort of funky selection Australia often makes on SC tours when they're looking for someone who can fill a few roles at once - a few meds, some overs of spin and try to tonk a few as well.

All sounds good until the bleeding obvious kicks in and everyone realizes said selection has never played in conditions anything like the SC before and gets reduced to passenger status with bat and ball.

Having said that I'm happy he's doing well and having such a good season.

Neither would I

Averages 40 odd with the ball so isn’t likely to be an improvement over whichever seamer he replaces

Yep

Barring injuries, it’s probably Neser’s best chance of another test as well

Thank God for helmets

I not really saying that if helmets weren't a thing then he'd probably be better off but maybe if helmets weren't a thing he'd have learned how to ****ing duck properly.
