Won’t be surprised if Uzi misses the Ashes

Any 100 is creditworthy but it will be hard to ignore his failures when it actually matters

Depending on Steve and Warner IMO

 

[Burgey]

They get like four tests a decade here

Four too many. You know it. Everyone knows it. They stink here. Always have. Shouldn’t be on the program

 

[Maximas]

Sri Lanka is rarely competitive in Aus, they have a much stronger record in England

 

[Burgey]

the competition is like, Ian Blackwell (but leg spin) and Nick Knight, or something

Nah, the competition is our best opener since Hayden and the best bat since Bradman. He misses.

As I said in test selection thread, given these last two tests, I believe the following is now a lock for Aussie XII in first ashes test

Warner
Burns
Khawaja
Smith
Head
Patterson
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood

12th Richardson

 

[Burgey]

And Travis Head now averages 51.00 in test cricket

Travis Head can bat. Been a shining light in a **** summer

 

[Spikey]

Nah, the competition is our best opener since Hayden and the best bat since Bradman. He misses.

The best opener since Hayden replaces the No Longer In Form Marcus Harris (or joe bruns) and the best bat since Bradman replaces Manus Island...? Usman only misses out if you're still want to keep one of those two in the team...?

 

[Burgey]

**** him. Bertus in for Khawaja

 

[aussie tragic]

**** him. Bertus in for Khawaja

And just as we thought the strangest selection was that the 3rd best keeper in Tasmainia gets selected for Aus keeper and then Aus captain, and then a player that has never played FC cricket replaces Khawaja at 3, even though he scored a 100 in his last test. Omg I love our selectors

 

[Burgey]

Depends what you think of him. Is he a good player out of form after myriad chances. Or is he a very mediocre player who has the occasional really good dig?

I think he’s the latter. He’s been very ordinary since forever. Had one dig when he’s stepped up when it mattered. Otherwise a genuine Guthega type.

 

[Burgey]

Like he literally cannot play a proper forward press. And he’s been a test player for eight years. Time to move on

 

[aussie tragic]

I agree, my question was should a non FC player replace him

 

[Burgey]

Yes. Yes he should

 

[Burgey]

The only issue is whether he should be skipper

 

[Burgey]

Answer is yes, tbh

 

[aussie tragic]

Giving much latitude for drinking, which I've suffered from the last week Burgey, Bertus really needs to play for NSW before Australia....okay, please breathe before you agree

 

[Burgey]

No. He’s a once in a lifetime player.

 

[andruid]

Wow, is the result this much of a formality?

 

[stephen]

Wow, is the result this much of a formality?

Still a solid chance of a draw if there's rain about.
