[GIMH]

Just ban the **** and be done with it

I know it’s a bad over but no need to ban Hazelwood ffs

If Crawley gets a ton here, is it the worst century of all-time?

Even though it's a really important one.

Nah, Bopara made one against the Windies where I'm sure he was dropped at least 3 times. That was truly dire.

 

[Molehill]

Aussies could do with a stiff drink after that hour. Crawley likely to get out stupidly in the 90's though....

Hundred percent

Can't imagine the emotional damage

 

[GotSpin]

Cummins is such a terrible captain

Yasir Shah has a Test hundred

 

[Silver Silva]

Crawley 70 off 77 sums it up. No other team in world cricket had trouble with Crawley!

Didn't Crawley get a double hundred vs Pakistan?

 

[Spark]

Cummins is such a terrible captain

Yeah this session has just broken me in that regard, fast bowling captains need to never be a thing ever again. It's clearly scrambled his mind in the field too.

I raise you Jerome Taylor

He gets some luck but he can also play some glorious shots. You try watching a Labuschagne ton from the wrong perspective....

What's even worse is that in the other factors such as conduct, player support, etc. he's genuinely very good. It's just that his weaknesses in the most important part of captaincy has been brutually exposed by the better teams.

Really needs a good tactical VC or coach to lean on.

And his bowling aswell it seems

The Jerome Taylor ton was gross.

From frontline batsmen Nicholls and Marnus have some stinkers in recent times.

 

[halba]

Neser for the 5th test? Surely, since Hazlewood can't stop the scoring

Boland has been tried and failed twice.
Murphy has been tried, probably they will put him back for Green

It doesn't seem like he's getting much help from the backroom staff either. Very little thought or adaptability put into these plans.

Daily reminder that Head (c) > Cummins (c)

 

[RightArmMystery]

Another beautiful french cut for 4. Loves that shot does our Zak.

 

[Molehill]

He's just taking the piss now!! Starc has been very good, everyone else, not so.

 

[Blenkinsop]

Never mind Anderson, are we witnessing the end of Hazlewood's Test career?
