2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

In the match context they just replace you anyway don’t they? Wasn’t that what happened with the Smith replacement at Lord’s?

oh yeah sure but it makes the period between impact and the appearance of symptoms/replacement kind of dicey.

 

[Burgey]

Marnus looks flustered

Tbf that may just be him

 

[Spikey]

well Marnus will be monitored for the next couple of days

 

[Gob]

Tbf that may just be him

More than usual I should have added

 

[Aritro]

Deano's daughters though

 

[Burgey]

That’s the shot of the day so far

 

[Gnske]

What a shot. Maxwell would have chopped that onto his middle stump

 

[Gob]

Remember that time Shane Watson made a rare glorious 180 odd at the oval after getting hit on the head and most likely wouldn't have remember making it

iirc that was an unusually silly test hundred for some reason. wasn't it the one where he took simon kerrigan to the cleaners?

 

[Daemon]

Hmm we've kind of pissed away the advantage here. Good recovery from these two.

Wait, in 2013? I don't remember him getting skulled in that. Just that he ruined Simon Kerrigan's life.

i don't rate head's technique much but i definitely rate his ticker. excellent fighting partnership so far.

Yeah took a big piece of him. Also TPC bopped Trott back over his head to go to his debut ton later in the game

yes that is my main memory of that game as well. that and clarke trying quite hard to lose the game on the last day.

Remember Warne banging on about cook's negative captaincy and vice versa for Clarke which led to a bit of a confrontation with Atherton..or was this all in my head

yes the infamous birth of "be prepared to lose to win" repeated about 20000 times in an hour

 

[TheJediBrah]

Bumrah chucked that bouncer tbh

Lmao really? Warne always hated Cook's captaincy though on almost Chappelli levels of predicatibility and hatred.
