Nah not Andrew, but it just shows how clueless some people are. Upgrade cycling infrastructure that is already ahead of most states when the stadium needs an update? yeah right...that's the thing with these sorts of pieces of infrastructure. They will always prove controversial - amazing the NSW gov...

I spoke to a mate based in CBR the other day and he said - "why on earth would we need a new stadium, we need to invest in cycling infrastructure and light rail first and a reasonable person would expect a 40 year old stadium to still be modern". I told him he is a fruitcake.

Azza

Not far off if we can keep playing like this but can't see us quite hitting the mark until we sort out our no 7 woes. I thought Sezer started the game well on Thursday but just went missing and happens too often with him for my liking - we already know the ups and downs of Williams as well.

You’d go Marsh over Stoinis?

mMarsh? I'm not convinced stoinis is a good 5th bowling option, reckon M marsh has him beat there. If you mean stoinis in place of Shaun marsh or khawaja, yes I can see the argument

Stoinis is the man I think.

Lol

Azza

Geez we are terrible at finishing atm. We have too many accumulators and not enough power hitters, no 5th bowler and no top line spinner in the 11 (no Lyon is baffling). For all his critics, mmarsh may help alleviate some of those concerns

Azza

On the plus side that's one of Finch's best - has looked almost flawless today

Azza

Well to be fair he was probably our best batsman in 2019 up until this tournament so I think he's deserved a bit of leeway. one thing about him though is that his best and worst have a big gap.

Azza

Not sure what happened to Faulkner he had real x factor.

Our batting has been very slow the last 3 matches

So..that's a yes ?

No. I hope this helps.

Azza

Apparently Cotric's injury isn't as severe as first thought, and so recovery time may be quicker than expected.

Azza

So GE, do you agree with my view on our victory, and the pluses and minuses>?

Azza

I expect he will miss a game or two and our record without him so far is not great

Azza

I worry about Rapana. Can't see him playing. He's clearly not fit. Hopefully he'll find his spark again soon.

Azza

Oh yes, hoping we don't lose Bateman through suspension...

Azza

Also can I just say havili doesn't get much credit but I think he's done a bang up job in hodgson's absence I wish that three times he doesn't pass down the short side on last tackle when there's nothing on. The first time he did it, he cunningly picked out a two on four... I'm not saying he's perf...

We’ve won three games without Hodgson, one against one of the best teams in the comp. that was simply unthinkable last season. It’s about times our fans started to enjoy our season for what it is I wish some people would get off their high horse. just because I'm raising a valid point that both the...

Not looking good... Cotric probably out 4-6. Good we have a couple of weeks off coming up Oldbeard back in and we’ll keep on keeping on.

We dropped off definitely but the fact is last year we would have lost that game

Azza

Glad we won. hate the sharks and it's time we beat them. Not sure what to make of that performance though

Azza

Pattinson is made of tissue.. Has 3 or 4 really good games, gets on the cusp and then breaks down again Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Harsh. He has had a fair run of injury recently, but when Cummins was going through similar he (Pattinson) strung a couple of good seasons together for the Aus...

Azza

Who is James Patterson? Pattinson? Think he's been a bit short of a gallop with lots of injuries etc.

Jhye Richardson would have come in handy, but even a hazelwood would be an improvement.

Azza

Sick of losing to these drug cheats in Canberra. Worried it will happen again though. Good thing we have Bateman though, I feel a lot more comfortable with him in the pack.

Azza

Can't see us winning this tournament with this sort of cricket just too much sloppiness

Azza

What a lousy finish

Good call. Every over bowled. Weak ending so far though post Warner. Pakis could chase it down

Three games already washed out, what bright spark decided having the WC in England was a good idea

Having the world cup in England was perfectly fine. Not having reserve days (even if it's being played at the same time as another match) was a dumb idea.

Azza

Agreed - not deserving of test vice captaincy, but certainly a better bowling option than Stoinis.

If this was at Shark Park, I'd be more confident

Agreed

Azza

I hope the loss of Hodgson doesn't stop us from winning this. Worried, but hopeful.

Azza

We've dropped games like this so often in the past. Time for us to step up.
