I hope this is the last we have to listen to Hussey this series.

nope

 

[Maximas]

lovely over from Maxwell there

 

[Prince EWS]

McGrath made a joke

 

[Prince EWS]

This really has been a good spell from Maxwell. Looks so much better bowling around the wicket; it's almost silly.

 

[steds]

Indeed

 

[91Jmay]

Pretty good job from Aus A really. Selectors have sent them out on a bit of a hiding to nothing with this attack, but they are containing well.

 

[Crazy Sam]

McGrath made a joke

he only has one joke, relating to the julios and nerds rubbish.

 

[Prince EWS]

He made a Paine/pain pun. It was by far the best joke he's ever made despite the fact that he only realised he was making it about halfway through.

I still didn't laugh.

 

[Crazy Sam]

just googled julios and nerds, check out best buds clarke and katich Julios v Nerds Annual Golf Challenge 2010 - YouTube

I laughed out of pity

 

[Riggins]

That over was a great example of the fallacy of "the importance of getting in a big stride on the front foot," or indeed just the appearance of a big stride.

Yeah, even at local levels I've found that off spinners of questionable quality always look far better when bowling around the wicket - I think it naturally gets you a bit more side-on, which creates a lot more of a 'drive' through with the back hip, which can add extra revs and aid drift a little. I've always been a fan when Lyon goes around the stumps, tbh.

Yeah this is very true. I say this as a hack off spinner who bowls better around the wicket.

It's so pronounced with Maxwell that I honestly think he should look to do it near enough all the time though, regardless of who's on strike.

 

[Burgey]

Meanwhile, at the MCG, Dermo Abbott dismisses the in form Test leg spinning all rounder Cameron White.

 

[Riggins]

Dermo's golden run continues.

And then bowls Aaron Finch for a golden duck.

 

[Riggins]

He'll probably ace his geography exam in the lunch break.

 

[Spikey]

1 warner
2 rogers
3 doolan
4 clarke
5 smith
6 haddin
7 dermo

 

[Burgey]

And then knocks over noted Test aspirant Aaron Finch first rock.

Edit: as noted by possible Test finger spinner PEWS

 

[91Jmay]

Just heard Hussey practise that off mic and then deliver it. Solid point though to be fair.
