Australian International Summer 2023/24

[Brodlach]

Marnus needs a spell

In a bad patch or have opposition bowlers worked him out?

Hopefully just a bad patch, everyone goes through one. The team winning has covered over his form.

[stampy]

Marnus needs a spell

and replace him with whom?

wonder if trav would still be there if he had a similiar run of outs like marnus

[locky801]

Top order fails yet again,

[Rik E Boy]

Head and Marnus are cooked. Head is the dumbest batsman I've ever seen.

IF Head had half a brain he’d be our greatest ever batter.

Move Smith back to where he should be and get a proper opener in.

[Down the Hill]

A proper opener should be averaging above 40 as an opener in shield cricket. So that cupboard is empty at the moment.

[Brodlach]

Bancroft averaging 57.66 this season

[Down the Hill]

Left him out because he still seems to be out of favour with selectors and/or team leaders. But I concede that his numbers over the last 2 seasons are that of a 'proper opener' when most other top order shield batters have struggled on what must be said are bowler friendly Day 1 and Day 2 wickets. His fielding and catching alone is worth runs so he has to get another crack now that our current experimentation isn't working. So long as this 'holding out hope' with Renshaw ends. You can't make a score above 10 or 20 only every 7 or 8 First Class innings and be in contention to play test cricket.

[Booney]

Top order fails yet again,

On a green top.

[Booney]

Batsman who signal with their hands a ball deviating to the non striker. Two fingers on the seam, showing it moved in or out. Why?

They know the bloke at the other end is was watching, yes?

NZ pitches always have that look, I don’t necessarily think the are traditional green tops

Yup.
Labuschagne overthinks...paralysis by analysis.
Head doesn't think.

That dumbness won us a World Cup, the World Test Championship and has saved our arse many times.

[Lightning McQueen]

He’s no Jake Carder but surely deserves an opportunity.

[locky801]

Cam Green brings up a fighting half century

[Armchair expert]

Was there a rain delay? way behind on overs?

[Rik E Boy]

Bancroft in for Marnus please. An inanimate carbon rod for Head. Imagine how good we'd be with some half decent batting supporting that attack.

been 11 wides and 2 no balls so there are 2 overs
