Puttanesca and Rainman to get the BanIndians comfortably home.

Good Test, though each side has their mediocre players.

Whodathunk Oz's best bowler is clearly our spinner and the Bannies best bowler is a quick.

I'll feel a little more relaxed if we can squeak another 80 to 100 runs.

by Bradman Sun 16 Dec 2018, 22:18

Oh I think we can do better than that.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 00:26

I hope you're right, Q.

by Bradman Mon 17 Dec 2018, 01:24

Well we've got a tail that can teach the top order a thing or two.

by JGK Mon 17 Dec 2018, 02:37

Batting still hard out there if the first couple of overs are anything to go by.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 02:40

Bannie bowlers look on-song again this morning.

by Bradman Mon 17 Dec 2018, 02:41

Aye. Turning the strike over is something else the coaching staff, such as it is, can look at more closely.

by JGK Mon 17 Dec 2018, 02:42

Bounce is still variable.

by Bradman Mon 17 Dec 2018, 02:51

Good for goat if we can get a decent lead at better than snails pace.

Spot on Qmy. Turning the strike over especially with a left/right combination is an imperative. Even Simperson understood that.

Suspect porkies have been told about Fink's digit. Doubt he will make many but will try to hold up an end.

On the road and listening to Fleas still running the line about cbnlg being a successful coach. Earlier that goose Lalor was on calling for the return of the Hollow Man. If the G looks flat, FFS do not play Mere whose bowling is worse than his batting. Play Stoinis or Reeks ffs if an all rounder is needed.

"Crowd" cheering every run.

There's only been 14 in 50 minutes, but crucially no wickets lost.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 03:16

One-fitty up.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 03:32

Some guzunder balls appearing.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 03:33

Valuable gritty 50 up for Ooze. Lead up to 200.

Huzzah ...need another 150.

by horace Mon 17 Dec 2018, 03:43

Bar the useless Bog, all our blokes have got starts. Just need these two to go on wi†h it.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 03:49

Balls regularly dancing off cracks now.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 03:53

50 partnership up. May prove invaluable.

Wank must be jettisoned for the MCG Test.

by skully Mon 17 Dec 2018, 04:06

Cut shot boundary from Ima for the best shot of the session.

by JGK Mon 17 Dec 2018, 04:23

One over of the new ball before lunch?

by JGK Mon 17 Dec 2018, 04:24

Apparently not.

by JGK Mon 17 Dec 2018, 04:26

Anyway - that's some hard nosed Test cricket right there.

One of the best things is that the bowlers get a bit more of a rest.

by horace Mon 17 Dec 2018, 04:27

For all E-Coli's jibber jabber in the field I dont rate him much as a tactician.
