**Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

haha.. first time he went away from the stumps, Head pumps him for a boundary. Gotta stay on the lines that kept him quiet.

Hope Head doesn't overdo this.

I think at this point we all just have to accept that Travis Head is going to do his own thing and we're just all along for the ride on his exhibition.

Hope Head doesn't overdo this.

He never does when game is in this sort of situation tbf. He just hits balls that are in his areas. Its really the Bazball philosophy when they dont buy into their own hype, like they are doing right now against NZ.

 

[halba]

pretty solid from head. two big fours but held back rest of the balls in that over..

Two set batters at the crease. one might get a ton.

 

[Burgey]

Head seems to have tweaked his technique to get around that leg side problem he had last year to the hip/ chest high stuff

 

[Nintendo]

Didn't realize how hard head was carrying our batting so far.

Maybe he has but I think India haven't got it right. Either too wide or not short enough when they've got the line correct.

Is this an uglier innings than Smith played at Melbourne last year? It's honestly getting there.

 

[Prince EWS]

I think that's the worst ball I've ever seen Jadeja bowl.

How is Head only averaging 43? Did he really **** up the start of his Test career or something?

He's actually averaged about that for the last two years; played some great innings but he's a rocks and diamonds player. Scores big or not at all

smith has done well to get runs but jeez it's been laborious... obviously i always found his batting ugly even when he was scoring runs but this is just egregious

I was one of those people who actually loved watching him bat at his peak; but this innings has been incredibly painful.

 

[Shady Slim]

have to bring bumrah on soon even for a short burst, otherwise he's on ice for the next 21 overs and these two aren't going anywhere

 

[Nintendo]

That's so stupid from siraj. Head uppercuts you so you bowl another one 5 inches above his head. Second one didn't go for runs but it's still bad cricket with no deep third.

 

[Shady Slim]

haha katich just laying in to siraj get his ass

he had the deep third the over prior, took him out there first ball, got ramped, and put the bloke back for the second ball, and then brought him up again

 

[Spark]

Holy ****, Smith scored a run through cover! It's possible!

 

[vicleggie]

If Siraj threw that....the Brisbane crowd would've gone full Alabama 50s mode
