Australian International Summer 2025/26

[Armchair expert]

Konstas and Khawaja both have to go asap

Khawaja yes he’s cooked
Konstas plays the 3rd test and beyond

Konstas needs to go back to shield cricket and average more than Jake Lehmann in a season.

Is playing JFM like shots atm

[RB]

I agree that Konstas would want to show some form in the Shield to justify his place in the Ashes squad.

Having said that, I still don't think any of Khawaja, Inglis or Connolly should have played against SL.

[Armchair expert]

First few shield fixtures should be mandatory attendance for test players.

You perform you get selected whether its Harris Bancroft Renshaw McSweeney it doesn't matter, form is good as seen by Websters inclusion.

We can tank in any meaningless white ball games that are hidden on Foxtel for all I care.

Smith cops another blow on the right hand

In England, need 800 to be safe … here, 150-200 will probably do it.

Stumps, Day 3

Head 39
Carey 26*

Carey going to be stuck batting with the tail again, prob why they have everyone on the fence and bowling bouncers.

Should just promote him to opener and be done with it

[Armchair expert]

Hello! Could fit Inglis in by doing so too. Did once in his debut test.

Windies 3/29, chasing 277

[jackpot jim]

Be over today and they wont make 100

Lunch, Day 4

Windies 4/33

[Brodlach]

Win by 133

All bowlers share the wickets

Yeah, Gary collects the last 3 again at almost 8 an over.

How's Daryl wearing sunnies while batting and was Roston's LBW a bit stiff?

How many poor decisions have we seen already this series?

You just wonder where we are at the moment, are we the beneficiary of international cricket being at a low or is it that our bowling is just so far superior than others?

We're blessed that we do have depth in our batting and there is always 2 or 3 players that get around the 50 mark to enable us to score well enough to win.

I don't have the answers or the solution, just a long list of applicants that I wouldn't recommend.

The Windies tail have just gone the slap against Lyon in both tests (especially Shamar Joseph) and eventually they hold out, he now has 562 test wickets, one behind McGrath.

As for your question, my answer would be yes and yes, international batting is at a low for reasons I may of mentioned before And the cartel plus Lyon are far superior to other attacks and obviously carrying us.

[Armchair expert]

Very even performance

Maybe they give a bowler a rest but its not like they are putting in massive overs.

I'd probably rest Hazelwood given that he's recently returned from injury, Boland would've absolutely skittled them in the 2nd dig.

Dunno if by design...
When Kraigg Braithwaite was dismissed in the first innings , they played a song as he walked to the pavilion
The song was Howzat by the iconic Aussie band Sherbet
The lead singer of the song is Daryl Braithwaite
