**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[Prince EWS]

I remember hearing this too, and it was specifically to improve his one day game. Of course, making adjustments to improve your limited overs batting can come at the expense of test ability.

Marnus is still meh at one day cricket anyway, really not worth it.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I worry about what will happen to Marnus if dropped. I don’t know if his psyche will be able to handle that.

I reckon he'll probably join Reclaim Australia; start a YouTube channel for disaffected white males; and publish a manifesto if dropped.

Disappointed with the lack of Gambhiring

It took only a few runs for the first wickets, four more runs for the next wicket, and now so many more for the next. Using mathematical extrapolation, Australia should win this about seven down.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Come on Head. 5 more runs and you're locked on for a 100.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Warner should turn up to commentary duties in his whites now

After every dismissal I'd like to see him up the back of the box pretending he'd just hit the offending ball for a 6.

This partnership is getting worrying... if these 2 make it through to lunch then Bumrah is gonna start regretting that early declaration. He is a **** captain and needs to go. Why didn't he keep bowling till we got 10 wickets

 

[Qlder]

Congrats to Travis Head. With 31* that's now his 2nd highest score in his last 7 Tests

 

[Johan]

match is more or less over so might as well try finding some form guys.

 

[silentstriker]

Good partnership here, it’ll be good for them and their confidence for the series.

A little worried about letting Smith spend a lot of time in the middle though, just from the point of view of the rest of the series, even though, for this game, it obviously doesn’t matter.

 

[Nintendo]

Crazy that head only had one game of shield cricket to warm up before paternity leave and has looked fine in both innings so far.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wonder when we are going to see sanctions creeping in for bowlers running down the wicket celebrating a dismissal without bothering to see if it has been given out?

 

[ataraxia]

Add 200 onto the score and it starts to look a bit worrying for India. Should bring Bumrah back now.

 

[Prince EWS]

Might just become a bowler.

 

[social]

Great ball, zero foot movement

 

[Burgey]

Well bowled that.

 

[sayon basak]

Good knock from Smith.

Strikes me as the sort of player who dgaf about that sort of thing tbh. Bit of Doug Walters about him

 

[Burgey]

Don't pick the ****ing ball up. Give them nothing ffs. AB will be fuming at that, and rightly so.

Also, I was doing a lunchtime cardio workout so couldn't coment at the time Khawaja got out, but he can gagf too. What a **** of a shot from a senior player.

 

[Burgey]

Good knock this from Trav.

This is only Heads 2nd time past 50 in his last 10 Tests though so maybe he should gaf more?
