Re: The Cricket Thread
I don't mind the ones that are raging turners. That's a good challenge for our batsmen (one they often have failed in recent times). It's the dead, lifeless wickets that don't do anything which irritate me.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Tbf that describes about a decade worth of MCG decks as well.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yup. MCG has been a bit ordinary of late, but still mostly had results (probablysays more about opposition than pitch), bar the game it got demerits

I think we're in trouble here

Re: The Cricket Thread
Great batting performance by Pakistan. Some catching practice before the next game please. If we held our easy chances I think we win that one.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Another half century for Smith. Cant get to 3 figures
Re: The Cricket Thread
Uzzie on 87 n.o. C'mon UK get past the Aussie devil number.
And .... he's done it 88 n.o. of an Aussie total of 3/184. Head is 17 n.o.
Uzzie out for 91. Australia 4-187.

Re: The Cricket Thread
We’re in trouble here. Need to get 350 minimum.
Re: The Cricket Thread
I reckon 300 will be a good score on that pitch. Head has been a non-event in these conditions.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Might be an opportunity for Starc to bat at 8 and as an aggressor with Cummins backing him up in a more compact role, especially if spin is being used by that point. Batting orders probably a bit too rigid like this at times.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Should be noted that his 2 x 100s in Sydney was batting at no5 so don't count towards his opening record. He only got the call up because Head tested positive to COVID.Azza wrote: ↑March 22, 2022, 10:53 amAh well, Langer did good picking Harris anyway.Northern Raider wrote: ↑March 22, 2022, 10:50 am Usi's innings since Test recall.

Honestly how awful is that record?!? No wonder we kept him out so long.
