Clap that one kohli you knob.
Now, when does our 2nd innings collapse begin
It just not as fun watching the cricket without Kohli out there
Bloke makes it happen
Good shit this cricket
Australia relying on Glenn Maxwell to get us enough runs to give us a chance to win the series
**** me
Well, we are going to have to pull something ridiculous out here to get the win..
ditto.
Bangerdesh are munching us
dave warner, what a myth this flat-track bully is
Comical watching Australia's "best" trying to play Banga's spin.
Reverse sweep, charging down the wicket, playing off the back foot, making room and not knowing which way it will spin.
If the Poms have any sense they won't send any fast bowlers out here - don't need them.
Its interesting. On the one hand, I like the fact that different nations have different conditions suited to different playstyles - of both bowling and batting. It means there is actually huge differences between where matches are played. On the other hand [although this could just be showing my young age] it seems like in the last 5 - 10 years, these differences have become more pronounced. Sure we may always have struggled in India. But it seems like wherever we travel these days we are hugely inferior to our home form. And perhaps its slightly more pronounced with the Aussies but many other countries have similar differences in performance.
Are cricket boards around the world just tailoring conditions far more than they used to? Are local games more isolated than they used to be?
I think it has a lot to do with how cricket is played these days
20 years ago Aussie cricketers used to go to England in the off season and hone their skills
Nowadays the likes of Smith Warner etc don't as they either playing T20 or ODI shit or having some union enforced break and don't play county cricket
Matter of fact most of our current test team don't play First class cricket outside of tests as they never available for shield cricket
Throw in the reluctance for having warm up matches of note or doing legitimate tours and you can see why blokes are exposed to the conditions as being foreign
Before World Series Cricket arrived the game was in dire straits. Ian Chappel managed to get players a living from the game and all was well. Nobody really wanted 50 over cricket but it was the price we had to pay to rid the game of its amateur status. 20/20 is pretty much the straw that broke the camels back - it has ruined the game. Batsmen today shit themselves on anything thats not flat and predictable - bowlers are forced to bowl on lifeless wickets because the marketing department think balls going over the fence is what the fans want. You would need to be a glutton for punishment bowling in these times and it's no wonder bowlers come and go through injury so often.
We don't want to be back where Bradman had the game in the 60's / 70's - but the sooner 20/20 goes the better. It's ruined the game. Players and administrators target an income rather than a level of skill.
Useless ****s really
Can't bat
Can't play
How some of these posers get selected beats me
Ever since Matt Wade came into the side has he made a ****ing score with the bat??
Maxwell now your ****ing kidding
few egos getting put into place i hope. They aint all that. Dizzy could have won this by himself
