Perth has huge boundaries and slow outfield.

 

Brook will play at a 100 strike rate in Adelaide and Sydney 

Occasionally you see flat roads here.  players with 75 or above at stikre rate of 90 at Perth (WACA/optus)

 

Gayle  102(72) 141.66 strike rate 

Roy Frederics  169(145)  116.55

Ricahrds 76(72)  105.55

Richards 146(150) 97.33

ABDV 169(194) 91.84 In the same match Amla scored 196 in 221 balls (88.68 strike rate).  SA thumped them by 300 plus runs

Yea.. Said was having a long net session. They have no one else anyway. But my question is will they move SUndar down again. This clownish acts happene in Asia cup as well. Sanju batted in all different position. Tilak was comfortable at 3. Suddenly they shoved him down and he was forced to play responsibly. He has totally lost the vigor. I absolutely have no problem if SA whitewashes us. This guy is turning test team into T20 team.

 

but he still won't go lol

Results don't matter even if we draw the series. 0-3 home whitewash should have resulted in his sacking. 

 

Yes Both Shastri and Dravid were bashed for much less.

 

This is clearly political now. He wants to stay to correct his record

Our test team is going nowhere. No development or strategy in place. 

 

Eng series was drawn due to Siraj's once in a lifetime performance. Otherwise 1-3 was on the cards, a series we should have easily won. 

[Lord]

Starting with Boland

[Sgattick10]

Isn't it weird apart from Stokes everyone plays bazzbal 

[Lord]
