Re: The Cricket Thread
F Smith is good. Those numbers are crazy!
I still think ABD and Kohli are better all round batsmen, but hard to argue that he isnt the best batsmen in world cricket with an avg over 60, after avging 20 odd in his 1st 10 tests.
Williamson is 4th on the list for mine. Very very good player though.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I’m excited.
I love seeing a debutant get a chance. WP is as exciting as we’ve had in recent times.
On a betting note: India at $4 seems great value in a 3 horse race.

I dont wanna face Hazelwood on a seamer.
I dont wanna face Cummins on a green top.
I dont want to face Lyon spinning it on carpet.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Very interesting 1st session coming up. Warner returning from injury and Pucovski on debut.
I wasn't convinced by Pucovski in the Australia A match. Did not look confident. If he can see off the new ball be might settle in better.

Think Warner had some pressing business back in the dressing sheds. Didn't want to hang round long in the middle.

Not much in the deck for the bowlers. Distinct lack of seam for the start of a 5 day test.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Pucovski gets a great chance here. Batting on a road vs an understrength Indian attack.
