CRICKET General Cricket Discussion - 2023/24

[Bull Shark]

Considering that 5-100 is now Australia’s default, I think New Zealand has enough to win this

 

[Sproj]

Well Labs' drop has cost about 40 runs already at least.

Why hold Lyon back so long there? Wicket first ball.

 

[Sproj]

So Australia needs 279.

 

[Fernando]

Gonna struggle with the form our batsmen are in.

But if they can stop Henry from taking another bagful none of the other NZ bowlers look overly likely. Surely they don't gift Phillips wickets again.

 

[Allo]

While it does make Tests interesting (in one of the worst ways), I do miss the days when Haydos, Langer, Punter, Martyn, Huss and co would cruise to 2-4/350 without trying

 

[BroncsFan]

That looks very out... does Smudge forget how far across the stumps he gets??

If he gets hit anywhere on the outside of his front pad he may as well walk

 

[Fernando]

His brain is going haywire at the moment

 

[Sproj]

Well I think the Smith to opener experiment has failed.

 

[Battler]

Who are you replacing him with though?

Any opener so we don't have to watch Smith, our second best bat ever, ruin his legacy filling a gap at the top. Whiteman has been batting well at the top since he gave up keeping.

 

[Sproj]

Labs dropped.

 

[Browny]

All out for 170, calling it early

 

[Sproj]

Labs gone.

 

[Harry Sack]

All out for 170, calling it early

*150

 

[Battler]

Need a miracle innings from Green here with the way Head, Marsh, and Carey are playing.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Aussies are going to fold like a cheap suit.

 

[BroncsFan]

Well this is over... off to the NRL it is

 

[Fitzy]

Time for Green to put his name up in lights.

 

[Allo]

Well I think the Smith to opener experiment has failed.

As most predicted it would.

I was cautiously optimistic, but deep down I just knew it wasn’t going to work
