The Consolidated Cricket Thread

[Haslerhasworms]

After getting through that rant from Chisdog I couldn't really fault what was said.
Then GA45 chimes in with their 2 cents worth.
I concur.
But then BankstownBulldog hits the nail on the head with the notion that the Aussies inept ability to play the game of cricket has ruined their Xmas.
How's your new year going because mine has started with me getting very depressed!!!
4 fkn wickets ohhhhh come on!!!!!
I am certain we would have been bowled out by stumps!
Pujara bats not even wanting to score and is unbeaten on 130.
6 beers was not enough today!!!

Given our record of scoring 300+, not looking very good at all.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

Geez pujara likes batting against us

 

[GA45]

He’s faced more dots in this innings then what any Aussie batter has batted in an innings this series. That was when he had 214 dots. This is painful

India scoring 500+ on a batting wicket is expected. But I worry about our current batting. We used to get 500 plus scores all the time. But not since Smith has been out. If we do match them batting we are looking at a draw probably. So yeh..

 

[DoggiesBoy]

It has been one of those series, the strike rate of our batsmen have been just as low, only difference is he scores 100's. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=12384;type=series

CA is all about revenue. Flat tracks they make sure the tests last 5 days. If we went to India they would all be dustbowls. Not playing at the Gabba to start the series and being 2 -1 down coming to Sydney and we get this wicket. Stupid

Unfortunately like the last test, there are only two results from here, india win or a draw

Yep and the only pitch that even resembled having some pace and bounce, we won the test.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

one positive, pujara didn't score a double

I thought the Adelaide wicket was a good one. Had bounce and turn. We should have won it but most of our batters threw away their wickets.

There is not one player in our test squad current capable of scoring a century.

With no incentive to declare, some records could tumble soon.

At least the third new ball is due. Huzzah!

Yeh no point them declaring, a draw means they win the series anyway, and they already retained the trophy. Unless we have another batting fuckup its gonna be a draw. We can't win coz there isnt time to chase 600 and bat twice

 

[DoggiesBoy]

I forget what it is like to have a keeper who can score a hundred
