*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[benchmark00]

Wonder if the WPWB will just peel off another crucial big innings again today.

Crucial innings today?

I reckon Siddle is the thinnest Aussie quick since Bruce Reid. Seriously, there's nothing of him at all.

Billy having a very affectionate relationship with the pies.

Top day this at the SCG and great to see both teams get behind it.

(I mean Jane McGrath Day of course, not the cricket itself. Clearly only one team is interested in the latter)

 

[GIMH]

Been persuaded to skip the morning session and watch Paranormal Activity 4. Likely to be less frightening than the fayre on offer at the SCG

Billy having a very affectionate relationship with the pies.

He used to live near me and was always out running, cycling, kayaking, etc

Has obviously given up trying to match my Adonis-like physique as he is now big as a house

Ummmm

Ha, depressing/interesting question courtesy of Victor Marks:

Who was the last leg spinner to take a wicket for England in a test they won?

 

[benchmark00]

Stokes just has the little bit about him, something always happens when he's in the game. Has enough ability in both skills to be eventually picked in either of his disciplines. Gets a bit of Magnus.

Dumb as a plank though.

 

[Hooksey]

Bailey surprisingly nicking off in the nets to Siddle who's bowling off two steps

Always get rid of the bad shots in the nets. He looks ok in the middle so far.

Yeah he really does look like a gun in the making. Not many all-rounders look as part of the line-up as he has so far. Bowling has some way to go but his batting already looks reasonable, like a Pomersbach who can bowl 140+.

Barely hanging on, tbh.
