CoverDrive Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 These Aussie tests are becoming boring. Flat pancakes where guys like Warner make merry after winning toss/ Opposition gets put on backfoot and then they play catchup all through the series. Link to comment
Forward Defence Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 76/2 now. Warner gone. Smith is in. Link to comment

Gollum Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 1-1 draw will be the best result for us. Hamper Australia's WTC F chances whilst also making sure NZ doesn't get within striking distance of #1 ranking. Link to comment

Unless nz win a couple of tosses or the pitches have something for the bowlers, Enzed don't have much hope. They are a good team but Australia are getting stronger each series and, in home conditions, are near impossible to best when at full strength. Link to comment
Norman Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) How the hell are we going to get Smith and Labu out next year ? Labu will surely do a Pujara on us , I'm telling you. Edited December 12, 2019 by Norman Link to comment
Gollum Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Good that Smith was dropped, thank you Latham. Hope he gets a big 100 now, cricket feels eerie when GOAT isn't scoring 100s for fun. Kiwis have bowled exceptionally well to him today, he has looked tentative but tough phase over, time to pile on the misery . Edited December 12, 2019 by Gollum Laaloo and VT87 2 Link to comment
Stan AF Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Labuschagne . 3rd 100 & crossed 1000 runs. Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Labuschagne is answer to all players who complain they are not getting enough chances.He walked in as a replacement sub and has not looked back. He effectively has ended Usman Khawaja's career for now. Link to comment

Kiwis have bowled exceptionally well to him today, he has looked tentative but tough phase over, time to pile on the misery .If you are not Australian then i don't think you miss watching him....He is one of the ugliest player to watch. None of those shots are treat to eye.....Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk putrevus 1 Link to comment

If Its about giving it someone experienced and non fast bowler give it to lyon. Carrey is to good a player to be not playing. Carrey n pat cummins will be a nightmare in lower order for oppositions Edited December 12, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

Forward Defence Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 If they dish out the same kind of pitches then it will be a matter of who plays better attritional cricket. Our batsmen must display high levels of patience and bowlers should be tight even when conditions are unfavorable. Flashy cricket may lead to disaster. Smith yesterday was batting at a sub 30 strike rate, yet Australia had the upper hand while he was there. Our batters should be willing to display this kind of attitude. I predict a hard fought series, one for the ages. Link to comment
