625 but got up at 5:40

I just looked at my watch and realised it is 5.25pm, not 4.25pm!

I luv listening to the Skull commentary.

 

[Decentric]

GOAT strikes, stumped Carey!

 

[LFC]

well well
Now looking at the tail they are done

I luv listening to the Skull commentary.

You must have Fox/KAYO - like Richie.

Happy with ABC - apart from Maxwell.

TV on Seven good apart from ads. Sometimes sit in silence when Maxwell comes on.

Spin kings
Always game changers when you got good ones.

Lyon is bowling very well. Big prob for England. He is keeping runs down and taking wickets too - keeping pacemen fresh as well.

Yep foxtel go.
Skull is the best since Richie B with his added humour and wit.
My uncle knows him since he was a young fella getting into Shield before making tests.

I've been critical of lyon's fourth innings desplays in the past

nothing to complain about today

I like some of the Pom commentators, but Skull was a big loss from ABC.

Very funny!

Also, rubbished himself as a Test wrist spinner. He was accurate.

You had stats to support too, I think?

 

[Richie]

Boland is super accurate but he lacks penetration. How is his record on his home MCG deck, bearing in mind it is now a drop in.

Amazing - I think?

Sorry guys cant agree. When he cackles at his own jokes, most of which are more lame than funny, I wanna scream. Yes astounded how he reached Test status.

yeah back in the day

we used to have a real weakness in the 4th inings - hazelwood bowls 5th stump so you can leave him a lot, starc fatigues throughout a test match and lyon didn't do as well as he should in favourable bowling conditions which put a lot of pressure on cummins

 

[LFC]

I have never liked the way he cackles at his own jokes, most of which are less funny than lame.

He sure is unique one of a kind.
I’ve just got to like him over time due to his off the cuff way instead of being dead pan flatline that many others are

 

[LFC]

Haha the banter behind the stumps after each ball - Labs

I’ve thought his jokes are very funny, so I’ve laughed too, plus his silly cackle makes me laugh more!

He is also knowledgeable.

Have a look at my post a few down.

Long term he is blocking, or selectors are blocking younger players gaining experience. Usman is also the worst fielder in the team.

Usman has been a terrific batter - but time to go back to Shield cricket. He is 39 yo.

McSweeney, Kellaway and Konstas are between 20-24.

I don't disagree that we need to blood youngsters, but it would be unfair to drop him based off of what he has done in this test. Asked to step in last minute and if we are honest, he stabilised us in the 1st innings. I reckon he is done after this series, but you have to base players off of what they have done in this series.

 

[Richie]

He is also knowledgeable.

Yes that I do agree with. How old is he, seems to have looked the same for past 10/15 yrs.
