Player of the Match: Mitch Marsh

[BenDoolan]

Warner responds to criticism the best way he know how - belting a stunning ton. Some of his shots today were brilliant to outrageous.

He will retire with a great record. No matter what you think of the guy, he will be a test great.

[BenDoolan]

I’m really enjoying the Mitch Marsh resurgence in Test cricket. I well and truly wrote him off some time ago, but am so pleased for him making it back and playing the way he is. Awesome.

Hope he hangs around for a while…

Up and down like a Yo - Yo,that boy.

It was Outrageous what had happened in South Africa,but to me it was just one Big Dummy Spit at Mr De Koch and Co,rather than blatant cheating.Like it was,"f*** You,ya f****** Pricks!Have a taste of these balls as a farewell gift,ya Wankers!"

He shouldn't have done it,roped Cam into it.But he was tired,angry,pissed off at everything bad that had gone on,that god forsaken tour and he lashed out!And that's when he should have owned that,to give him a better chance to move on,during and after Suspension from the Team.

Unfortunately,there's probably more water to go under the bridge and whatever happens come the end of the Test,people will always be raggin' 'im.

I have a bit of a lend of his Naughty Boy image,by calling him Sean Moody of The Moodys.Dave could have played him,or Sean's long lost twin brother.Wonder if he's met Patrick Brammal at least.

Same here,though I'd be even happier if he,the Cams and The Wild Thing are all in the Team.Too many from you know where,......

2nd Test (Melbourne);

AUS 3/187 (M. Labuschagne 44*, U. Khawaja 42) v PAK

Hmmm,interesting day,even with the Rain.

If Pakistan knocks us off for 300 odd,get a score themselves and the rain clears off,might be an interesting Test.

Something was missing though and as soon as I plugged in the USB in the car,a familiar voice came on as I drove around,listening to Richie,Bill.Tony,Ian and Max for starters.

What a fascinating, gripping day it was today. Pat Cummins is proving to be a bloody good captain. The criticism he cops is f***'n rubbish. Great bowler, damn good skipper.

Pakis were absolutely dynamite early in our 2nd innings. And if butter fingers Shafique could hold on to a catch… the match might be over!

But what an innings by Mitch Marsh. Coming in at 4/16 is a bloody hard thing to contend with. Despite his lucky break on 20, he thoroughly deserved to make a ton today. Agonisingly short. But well played Bison

[BenDoolan]

Great test match. Impressed with the Pakis pluck. If they could hold their simple catches, I’d reckon they would have won this match.

Another feather in the cap for Pat Cummins

The f****** Rubbish we see about Pat,revolves around his Personal beliefs,rather than his Cricket.

Great test match. Impressed with the Pakis pluck. If they could hold their simple catches, I’d reckon they would have won this match.

They could cut back on the extras as well.52 in our 1st Innings was an absolute killer.

3rd Test;

PAK 313 (Mohammad Rizwan 88, Aamer Jamal 82, Agha Salman 53, P. Cummins 5-61, M. Starc 2-75) & 115 (Saim Ayub 33, J. Hazlewood 4-16, N. Lyon 3-36) v AUS 299 (M. Labuschagne 60, M. Marsh 54, U. Khawaja 47, Aamer Jamal 6-69, Agha Salman 2-43) & 2/130 (M. Labuschagne 62*, D. Warner 57, Sajid Khan 2-49)

[BenDoolan]

86 run last wicket partnership between Aamer Jamal and Mir Hamza with Jamal making 79 of them

That was a brilliant effort

Some crass bowing from the more experienced bowlers though. Starc really can bowl some lame shit at times.

Hazlewood needs a spell in the reserves.

Time to unleash Lance Morris against the Windies. Well… the Windies kindergarten team

Flinger Morris just took 5/24 in the BBL

[grassy1]

We had better bat 1st,score 450 and see how the West Indies perform chasing that.Even if The Wild Thing plays well,I dread to think what might happen here and how it looks if we don't enforce the follow on this time,with a lead of 350 or more.
