Australian International Season 2022/23

Nortje's delivery to knock over Smith was an absolute ripper.

THE TRAV.
78 not out off 77 balls.
Brilliant batting
Had The Trav got out early , against that bowling attack , SA might have been batting again before stumps.

Geez if SA had a decent batting side they mite have won a test this series

Who would you bring in to replace him? Marcus Harris? He's the spare batsman in the squad.

This is what I would do with David Warner
Play him the rest of this series, he is one of the greatest performed opening batsman on Australian pitches
It would not matter to me if his next 5 innings this series, he totalled 500+ runs- that would be it -thats the end of his career
One he travels past the equator to play Test cricket, overall he is an under achieving batsman.

Renshaw for me. But it won’t happen.

Our team yesterday was chatting about Warner and his journey in the eyes of the average punter.

Came onto the scene and was a breathe of fresh air, was kind of what everyone wanted post Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist, Ponting.

We admired his talents but then started to realise he was a bit of a knob head

We then tolerated him because he was one of ours and was a brilliant bat but we realised he was a real dick head

Then he cheated and most we’re glad to see the back of him

Now his one of Australia’s most disliked sportsmen up there with Ben Simmons

We were fielding yesterday when a cheering roar from the opposition team in the sheds erupted. Was random so we asked what that was about. Warner’s got a goldy……. Then our team all giggled around the field. Never seen that for an aussie player before

I thought Warner would be safe until the end of the ASHES next year, now I can see this season being his last.

The way he got out yesterday would have had Shami, B-road, Archer licking their lips.

Loving the indignation and hypocrisy of muppet community sportspeople (author most definitely included) on standards of behaviour and character

[Lightning McQueen]

Ponting needs his own channel.

Of course there is hypocrisy but like I said rarely have I seen the aussie public actually enjoy one of our own cricketers failing.

It would be boring if everyone was gods gift to sport supporting like yourself….

Unlucky Trav!!

His found a formula that is very much working for him in Oz. It’s great fun to watch when it comes off.

[Lightning McQueen]

Could struggle to reach 200

More runs means his game plan is definitely working for him, not bad for a country cricket with an amazing eye that's made it big hey mate.

It’s everything I taught him back in the day when we used to have to spend hours bowling to the bastard haha

No word of a lie…..the old Craigmore Y in vaccare we had Trav at one end of the stadium court who refused to do anything but bat, at the other end we had Craig Goodwin who refused to do anything but kick the soccer ball. Me and the other carer would spend 8 hours a day rotating between bowling and being a goal keeper for the two

Travs brother was the better bat but didn’t have the interest.

Btw you’ve taken my comment as a negative…..I see it as a positive, he plays with a free spirit, doesn’t follow the test match text book, doesn’t play like someone over coached with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He sees ball, hits ball like me and you try to do each weekend albeit we are junk haha. The bat isn’t close to the pad, his V is not text book and he treats ball one the same as ball 76.

I think it appeared to be a negative comment at the time about someone who is an elite cricketer.

Deadset, ill keep saying it but he's a country cricket with an amazing eye that's made it big......thats the kind of thing we will joke about at Spalding Oval when our batting lineup changes.[/quote]

Odd innings from the skip after dropping below Starc.

Didn’t like the short ball one bit…..Carey would have had to be a bit disappointed

Fair enough that wasn’t it’s intention

When you watch Smith and Labuschagne they seem to be looking for every subtle change a bowler makes, they seem to understand every blade of grass on the pitch. You don’t get that impression from Head when his batting, he genuinely appears to ‘switch off’ in between balls, he doesn’t seem to care whether the ball is spinning or swinging into him, he will still try and cut the ball etc .

The way he bats is very relatable to the average punter IMO
