is The Straff going grey?

Dr Pavel, I'm MWNN

Sri Lanka better declare at the tea break. Already have more than enough runs on the board.

IMO the Indian team should have given Mitchell Marsh a guard of honour last game to mark his last ever Test match

There are people in this thread right now, who believe MMarsh isn't going to keep his spot in the ODI side, and be at least considered for Test selection within 18 months

haha thank you australian bookmaker facebook page

They're just waiting for Chindmal's century

If Australia select Pukeson Poord next game it is ogre

Obvs they should play Hazlewood and three spinners

depends on the pitch

Pattinson or the Cum could be useful

>Pattinson
no

> or the Cum
He can be the allrounder and bat @ 6

then pick 3 spinners

>select Mitch Marsh for his batting and only bowl him for two overs
>select Stoinis for his replacement because "he's a better bowler then Henriques"

Renshaw
Khawaja
Smith

Cummins

Maxwell

Hazlewood

>Maxwell gets in the test side
>Below Wade

How come no one is calling for Shane Cuckner's head?

Everyone bullies the Koala for being shithouse in Asia. Cuckner is objectively worse. He has scored 1(ONE) century outside of Australia and South Africa in his entire career.

Because Warner has the skill to make 20 runs in India unlike the bushman

Because ACB's have never seen him play on a non-Channel 9 mandated road

>at maccas
literally zero self awareness

you can say the same about Khawaja

casuals and 'muh natural game'

test cricket is so fucking elite

my life would be meaningless without it

Stoinis has a Big Rig

>Glenn Maxwell has been named Kings XI Punjab captain for the tenth season of the IPL, which starts on April 5. The Australian allrounder takes over the role from M Vijay, who was appointed captain midway through the last season.

>Maxwell has never captained in the 338 matches he has played across formats and has been picked for the role ahead of Eoin Morgan, who led England to the World T20 final in 2016, and Darren Sammy, who captained West Indies to two T20 World Cup titles.

the test team needs more rig-based selections

home 2011-2017 33 59 4 3257 253 59.21 3869 84.18 14 9

away 2012-2017 27 52 0 1863 145 35.82 2678 69.56 3 13

SL getting expossed

what a bizarre decision

Morgan is the best captain in world cricket prove me wrong

35.82 isn't too horrible

Hope based Stoinis makes his debut soon

it's meaningless anyway lad

No one can prove me wrong?

Yeah like this

Is this the single most cowardly refusal to declare in the history of test cricket?

Why isn't Joe Burns in the side?

It's not woeful but it includes his elite scores in South Africa. I suppose the question is why we're happy to go 'horses for courses' with Khawaja due to his terrible record in Asia, but it's not even a question for Warner whose performances in Asia are equally as bad.

Yeah talking about Eoin Morgan though

Then learn to (you)

Want to prove me wrong on Morgan?

>tfw my dad used to support half the teams as a kid and his brothers still talk about it

Shakib is the greatest captain, based on how he really should have lost this match he's drawing against SL

need at least 5 whites to make quota i'm afraid

...

I you cannot tell that Bangladesh will survive to a draw you are an absolute plebian

Nah i reckon Morgan is better

Morgan is actually elite and Ireland would be a test playing nation by now if he hadn't run off.

starc is ded lads

Since RC manage to best Lloyd despite his crippling knee injury, was he the reincarnation of Bradman?

>Gayle
>no Sehwag
pretty casual lad

Desperately wanting to be Shane Warne, both as a player and as a womaniser

Straffo's relationship with Warne is key to the future progression of the narrative

Why are ENGLAND the best lads?

keep us updated

>HURR SUBCONTINENT PITCHES ARE SHIT IT'S A MINEFIELD
>Bangladesh bats to Day 5
Absolutely disgraceful Aus cucket bogans.

>subcontinent team plays well in the subcontinent

I don't think you heard me. BANGLADESH.
>Pulled out due to security concerns
Bullshit. Just didn't want to get embarrassed.

Reminder Bangladesh aren't as shit as they used to be and defeated England a few months ago
Reminder England only went because the entire fucking Bangladesh army was going to show up
Reminder English players were given the option to not play
Reminder Australia also skipped out on the U 19s World Cup, which was played on flat decks and provides invaluable experience to players
Reminder Australia just beat India on the worst pitch put out in the 21st century and comfortably outplayed India for 2.75 days in the next game
Reminder Australia voluntarily went to Sri Lanka after skipping Bangladesh, despite Bangladesh being the far weaker side
Reminder kys

kys yourself mate

Holly or Ellyse lads?

>playing against minnows
it's a no-win situation, either you thrash them and everyone whinges about stat-padding or you slip up and everyone laughs

CA made the right decision to use excuses there

I like horses so Holly.

#elite

remember how jeff thomson almost never got injured? what the fuck went wrong lads

>Kapil Dev never missed a Test because of injury or fitness reasons in a career that spanned 131 Tests spread over 16 years.

I think its because they're playing too much cricket?

Nah, they actually play less cricket these days believe it or not.

Border had a similar record, I'm fairly sure he went for over 100 back to back tests.

I know an Australian guy came out with a book a few months back that claimed that fast bowlers were breaking down more regularly since the change to the front foot no ball rule from the back foot rule meant that they were carrying too much force through their front legs, so that could be a factor. Guys like Pattinson, Cummins, Bond and the like seem to get a lot of back problems too though, and I don't know how that's linked. All I know for certain is that players are playing less cricket and getting injured more.

>bowled well over 160
>only major injury was from a collision
Maybe slinging is something that needs to be looked at more. Then again Malinga and Tait are always breaking down, so who knows.

>Border had a similar record, I'm fairly sure he went for over 100 back to back tests.
153, the most for any player

But border was a batsman

39 wickets mate
