Re: The Cricket Thread
Finally an Aussie has a 100 vs India. Been a long long time.

Useless . India will get 400 comfortably on that wicketNorthern Raider wrote: ↑January 8, 2021, 12:13 pmYeah, reckon it's a 400+ pitch and they did choose to bat first. It's in the balance right now.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yeah and that’s the thing with Starc. Game situation tells him to play straight, pick up singles, put away the bad ball and support Smudge..
I bet my left nut Langer didn’t tell him to swing like an idiot..

5 batsmen out in single figures doesn’t help the cause.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Starc really is a "barn door" batsmen these days. If we are already 350 nothing pitch, sure. BUT... at 8 for 290 or whatever it was, and Smithy closing in on a 100, bat long, bat sensible, get a bigger total.-PJ- wrote: ↑January 8, 2021, 1:37 pmYeah and that’s the thing with Starc.

Its funny... I yelled that at him the ball before when he cleared the fielder. Then yelled at Smithy for not walking down and telling him to cool it, and help him go big.
Next ball.... ****
Re: The Cricket Thread
the way the openers are going, looks like 338 is below par markedly.

Rohit averages 26 outside of India. Gets out on 26.

Re: The Cricket Thread
There's a lot more seam in this deck today. Not easy batting when the quicks hit the right areas.
