Another edge goes begging

Some very informative threads there! Particularly enjoyed "Is brett lee a kiddy fiddler."

"N****** in charge" a classic too.

Chance?
50

 

[Spark]

Oz finding their first decent keeper bat since Haddin really completes this team. Don't really have a prominent weak point.

Now if only we could find another competent opener overseas (well, two, given Khawaja can't be around for that much longer)

Another chance and 50 for Kez!

 

[GIMH]

first thread i opened had:

[x] jaw-dropping racism
[x] even more jaw-droppingly terrible font sizes

yep, that's our guy.

Bring Foakes as substitute.

I really do wonder what happened to Carey in India, whether he just got totally bamboozled by his sweep game not working or whether it was just horrible luck. Because he looks in great form these two weeks and was in form in the Aus summer, so wtf happened there?

A reverse sweep just before stumps, what a ****ing brain explosion.

He did keep well in that series.

He literally just played a sweep every ball in India. Didn't trust his technique against spin to do anything else, and probably rightly so.

He looked in really good touch in the first dig of that series aswell, made a really solid 40 odd. Just fell apart.

He should basically just have tried what Head did and hit anything remotely pitched up through the line. It surely can't have been any worse.

The entire team lost their minds
