Australian International Summer 2024/25

If we make a meal of this it will be because we go to negative from here.
We must stay positive and play attacking cricket, take a few risks

The approach and mindset has been correct
Sometimes the execution is incorrect

Sydney Sammy needs to learn to be positive not reckless
He was about half an hour off finishing the Indians off though
On this deck 22 off 17 - Im contented with that- for a rookie in his 2nd test

Reminds me of a young Damien Martyn in his younger years, promised the world, played a couple of "D Grade" shots and got banished from test cricket for a number of years, came back one of the best middle test batsman ever

Unfortunately these young kids get paid too much, believe the rubbish written about them in the media and on social media, they play one decent innings in the Mickey Mouse game and they are branded superstars

You said it, grandpa

Good summation L801
if he plays in the SL tests will be interesting to see how he plays- he does need to restrain
IF he keeps batting like a T10 player he is very likely to fail in his career
He shows a lot of spunk to bat like this though

[dedja]

These two are showing how it can be done. You can be aggressive with minimal risk, plenty of runs on offer without putting the ball in the air.

No point shooting your load in 30 secs when you have all night with a beautiful woman.

I think he has been smart enough to adjust his game to the conditions that have been put in front of him. He doesnt bat like this in the shield games i have seen,
He was faced with the best bowler in the world that only Head had succeeded against, he came up with a plan and executed it on the biggest stage of all, Boxing Day at the G.
Gets to Sydney and he's still confronting the best bowler in the world but on a pitch that is offering huge assistance and he comes up with what he thinks is his best chance of succeeding, get some runs before you get one with your name on it, averaging 22.5 for the Test looks pretty good

Wtf was that

FFS Marnus, straight off the middle of the bat

You can't argue against it.

How's that worked out for Labuschange?
He's shot his load in his pants and she's gone home

[Armchair expert]

That idiot Konstas had the field spread then he plays that stupid shot which has caused all this

[Jim05]

I’d actually rather the Konstas dismissal than that crap from Marnus.
Apalling stuff

That is a huge generalisation, how do you know that's how Konstas thinks?

Oh and he was touted as a prodigy and potential Australian cricketer before his BBL debut.

Interesting to hear from those who don't like Konstas approach and don't want him playing as to who should be playing instead? I'm assume you guys would of stuck with McSweeney?

Stupid shot, did everything right until then.

[Booney]

Needs this 5 quick.

I wouldn't have stuck with him opening, no. He's a #3.

I didn't.

His shot this morning was shithouse, no arguments there.

I understand people's views re SK, but the sheer level of personal criticism he's getting from certain quarters, with very little basis in my view, is... instructive.

Apparently there are a few mind readers out there...

Who would you have had opening then?
And while we're here, who are you opening with in Sri Lanka?

[Booney]

People are being instructed to do it?

I would have stuck with McSweeney and dropped Uzi for Sam.
Place in team for both.
They would compliment each other
