I'm not sure why they don't use yellow balls. I used to train at night with yellow balls and they were quite visible, even after a lot of wear.

We use them in the nets and I agree they're much, much better. I guess it's the VTCA's decision at the end of the day.

 

[Spark]

Would be funny in an awfully grim sort of way if Patterson was the only bloke to bat well here.

 

[Spikey]

Serves them right for billing it as a bat off

 

[jimmy101]

Lovely straight drive from Pucovski there. Kid has a solid technique.

 

[stephen]

Yeah. Though I suspect Patterson will score a half century then get out. I mean why break the habit of a lifetime?

 

[jimmy101]

Patto killing them on the off side.

 

[Spark]

Nice driving here

 

[stephen]

So do Pucovski's runs count for test selection? He is batting 5 after all....

According to Wade, he's often going to come in early anyway at Hobart. I'm not sure 3/20 counts as "early" based on Australia's performance against India.

If Marnus plays the first Test I will break something or someone

Fly over to NZ & punch Miyagi!

It's probably between him and Renshaw at this stage.

 

[aussie tragic]

So could this get any worse for Australia. 4 batsmen to press their test claims, with 3 to play at the Gabba, and all failed. If only Pucovski got 7 more at least we could have then locked him in due to good 30

 

[Spikey]

I'm just shocked that Young Will didnt bat in the top 4

 

[Spark]

Burgey will just love that dismissal

 

[aussie tragic]

Hohns said they would bat Puckovski at 6 (if picked) as it would be not right to put a young guy at 3...oh wait, what the hell are they doing with Labushagne who bats 4 for Qld when Khawaja is there

 

[Burgey]

Didn't see it. Did he get sconed or parry away a short one in effeminate manner?

straight down fine leg's throat

 

[Burgey]

SERIOUSLY. **** OFF SANGHA!!!! WHY EVEN ARE YOU? YOUR BALLS HAVEN'T DROPPED AND YOU'RE GETTING FAST TRACKED INTO TEAMS YOU AREN'T FIT TO CARRY WATER FOR. JUST GO AWAY AND MAKE SOME RUNS AGAINST GROWN MEN AND COME BACK IN THREE YEARS, YOU USELESS, USELESS ****. z

 

[Borges]

Who is this Kurtis Paterson. What do the experts here make of him (other than the obvious - that he is way better than Tendulkar)?

 

[Burgey]

straight down fine leg's throat

Yeah sorry, just saw it.
