Bring back the Windies - they put up more resistance

This weekend we had a 2 day test match, A 30 minute big bash innings and a 20 minute football match!

Is it a coincidence that the pitch invasion happened at the exact time they were supposed to walk out?
Maybe a case of "nah, let's not walk out, let's do the exact opposite" ??

Yeah seems a bit that way, they completely lost the high ground after that.

Staffers doing well at 5 - 179,thanks to Jansen and Verrynne.Then Cam”Tony Greig”Green Crashed through and they Crashed.

Did I hear wrong,when the Visitors were penalised 1 run?What for?

Neither did Ireally.Maybe I thought I heard that,dozing on the Couch.Believe me,it was the furthest thing from my mind when the thought crossed it!

Fair effort from Warner to make 200 in those conditions yesterday.

[BenDoolan]

That’s an absolute flogging.

Well done Dave Warner in scoring 200 in his 100th Test

Well done Alex Carey in scoring a maiden Test century

Well done Cam Green in taking a first 5’fer and scoring 51*

Interesting selections coming up. I suspect Hazlewood comes in for Starc. Although there’s talk about Lightning Lance Morris playing.

Do they look at another allrounder to replace Green? Aaron Hardie?? Ashton Agar (adds spin option)?? Neser??? Jhye Richardson????? Will Sutherland???????

If only Glenn Maxwell didn’t break his leg…

[grassy1]

That’s an absolute flogging.

That’s the Worst South African team that’s toured here in years.

Well done Dave Warner in scoring 200 in his 100th Test

Well done David!Hopefully you can focus on Cricket,rather than air Dirty Laundry,much of it your own!

Well done Alex Carey in scoring a maiden Test century

Absolutely Well Done Alex!

Well done Cam Green in taking a first 5’fer and scoring 51*

Well done to the Aussie Tony Greig.You’ll have to start Auditioning for the Pitch Report Mate,for 9’s return to Cricket!

Interesting selections coming up. I suspect Hazlewood comes in for Starc. Although there’s talk about Lightning Lance Morris playing.

Hazelwood will come in,given it’s at Sydney.

Give Hardie a go for the Dead Rubber,or pick someone for the SCG Deck,with India in mind.

If only Glenn Maxwell didn’t break his leg…

Yeah,……inflicted courtesy of a drinking game,wasn’t it?

Like President Scrooge,I’m looking’ for the Cancellation Button here.Posted this twice by accident.

[F111]

Agar & Renshaw into the squad.

Bowlers? Hazlewood, Boland, Lyon, Morris, Agar?

Renshaw? Wot

[F111]

Surely a bit of future proofing and maybe a subtle message to the 2 aging incumbent openers.
Back in the fold, we haven't forgotten you. Harris already in the squad.

Unlikely to play against the Proteas in the third ...Test at the SCG, starting on January 4, with Marcus Harris already in the squad as a back-up opener, Renshaw's inclusion could be a hint to what selectors have in mind for February's tour of India.

Renshaw featured in all four Tests the last time Australia toured India back in 2017.
