[vicleggie]

Khawaja tier shot

 

[OverratedSanity]

Head so compact

 

[Burgey]

That’s terribad. You’re gonna get width eventually ffs

 

[social]

I have no idea why Head is captain elect

what am I missing?

 

[Gnske]

Travis's use of a vertical bat is absolute dog ****

Not that his use of the bat in any other way is much better

 

[morgieb]

Warner can't come back soon enough.

 

[Spikey]

australia on track to lose which means one thing: bat **** insane selections

warner and harris in, wade down to 5, head out, green out, moz in. Here we bloody go

 

[OverratedSanity]

Khawaja tier shot

Khawaja is such a massive upgrade over any non-Smith batsman in this lineup its not even funny. Langer is a moron.

 

[Spark]

Head so compact

like of all the ways to describe head's batting...

 

[stephen]

You need super nimble feet to do that against Jadeja which precious few batsmen today have.

It's not like it's a skill that can't be worked on. If you get to the pitch of the ball, literally he has nothing he can do to get you out. His bowing is too flat to be beaten in the air against and it forces him to drop short and get cut. Jadeja shouldn't rate a ****ing wicket outside the subcontinent.

How is Travis Head only 26 btw

 

[vicleggie]

Warner can't come back soon enough.

He's not not a middle order batsman.
You need a couple of them

I think patting Bumrah on the back has stained him in Ponting's eyes, so Head is probably doomed

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Yeah not much I can say really, that was a bit of a shocker

He is the best captain of the players under 35 in fairness.

But you can't pick someone purely on captaincy....

If only someone had spent 18 months saying he should be in the team

I wanted to believe in Usman but he's just too lazy when he's on 20-30. Doesn't go on enough, gets out to careless shots

 

[GotSpin]

That was just so standard by Head. Hopeless stuff

And here comes Tim Paine
