Summer of Cricket thread

[Decentric]

Have 2 Crick Tas mates square of wicket down low, and another at top of stand above them, as Labu is caught in slips.

Green in.

Good session for Bangladesh at 3-61.

 

[Decentric]

Pitch doing a bit and B attack getting a few snicks.

 

[Decentric]

Like Taskin’s action.

Labu struggled with 4th stump line.

 

[Richie]

Tigers used the grassy seaming conditions expertly by bowling stump to stump at military medium pace, specially to not allow hitters Head and Weathers any room to free their arms. Even our legend Steven Smith struggled on this surface so it had to be tuff going. Perhaps Pat should have given our world class quicks first use.

 

[Richie]

Am not overly bothered by Greens dismissal as he was trying to be positive and take the attack to the bowlers that had been dominating. Just mistimed that flick over mid wicket, a shot I have seen him execute cleanly many times. Even if we are rolled cheaply, Hazlewood and Cummins will thrive on this surface.

 

[Richie]

Muting the ads.

I always mute adds mate and at times commentators.

You obviously saw them Jon. Not been much crowd showing by 7 to date.

Cricketers having lunch before me?

 

[Richie]

Bangladesh inducing a few edges.

They did because their bowlers summed up the conditions and kept it tight allowing our batsmen to get themselves out.

 

[Richie]

Labu struggled with 4th stump line.

Has done for past two yrs. His average has dropped a massive 10 percentage points in that time with his last century some 15 Tests ago. Wont improve either if he continues to take strike on an off stump line.

Not a bad idea to make batters earn keep, Baggers.

I’ve just heard Bangers are ranked 4th in world ATM in Test rankings. Apparently, they have started winning away from home.

They might be hungrier?

Ha ha!

 

[Decentric]

Aus finally reach 100 for the loss of 4 wickets.

 

[Richie]

Bangers are ranked 4th in world ATM in Test rankings.

That is correct.

 

[Decentric]

Webster gone for 12 off only a few balls.

Great ball. Hit top of off swinging away.

 

[Decentric]

Aus in strife at 6-152.

 

[Richie]

Aussies showing they have not played any red ball cricket, let alone Tests for too long. Batters were ordinary now the bowlers are struggling to make a breakthru with Hazlewood lacking rythmn but economical, while Starc is leaking runs.

Lyon is now too slow in the outfield and that dropped catch off Hazlewood showing he is also losing his hand eye co ordination.

 

[Decentric]

Bangers dominated day 1.

Fair play to them outplaying our Dad’s Army in Aus.

One of them is texting us in a Members' group, stating where he and his wife are. Haven't seen them on TV yet.
