CRICKET General Cricket Discussion - 2023/24

He's been terrible, his last three dismissals have all been really soft and just mentally not applying himself at all.

First innings v Tas- short ball from Meredith and he backs away and just pads it to short leg.
First innings v WA- Richardson around the wicket and he edges down the leg side just before stumps.
Second Innings v WA- edging outside off- short bowling again.

He's been terrible at leaving and playing short ball.

Pucovski worked over by Khan, can’t leave, can’t play it and out.

He has a definite problem now.

This batting against a very average Pakistan attack has been terrible.

 

[Sproj]

So once again, aside from Smith and Wade, no one in contention batting well...except Bancroft doing his usual pre-test come from the clouds effort.

...Might be S.Marsh playing the first test after all.

I keep wanting Khawaja and Burns to score runs and force their way in but they just keep on failing.

How did Ashton Agar exactly manage to headbutt the ball when going for a regulation catch? It looks like he really got hurt but it was pretty funny. I hope he is ok of course.

he half slipped and lost his balance

off his brother too, who had already bowled him out in the first innings. Wes Agar confirmed bully

It really looked like a slapstick comedy routine.

Root’s captaincy is under pressure and he’s sent NZ in, they’re currently 3/170. Stokes has picked up a knee injury and hasn’t bowled since.

 

[Browny]

Glorious, never rated Root as a captain

I tell you what, I talk Green up a lot but I’d seriously consider projecting him for the Afghan test next year...as even just a batsman. Goodness me this kid is an absolute superstar in the making.

Is there even a specialist batsmen in the Shield putting up scores like this?

Pucovski was but he has hit a mental brick wall. That's it.

Five batsmen have more runs than him. Green is 200 runs behind Cooper.

Is he bowling again yet?

The thing I’m so excited about is that he is technique wise, very compact for a tall guy and bowls as consistently as a young Cummins. He’s one they need to manage properly.

Get him batting at 6 and bowling no more than 5-10 overs an innings, even in the national side. He’s a good enough bat to make it on that alone anyway.

He doesn’t even need to bowl more than that, Lyon pretty much bowls from one end most of the game and you can rotate the three quicks from the other.

Victoria v WA players off the field due to pitch condition at MCG.
