and we think our selectors are cautious and backward thinking
Word is Sam Konstas is not getting a run in SL. They are dropping him, pushing Head to open, and bringing a 29 year old keeper in to bat in the middle order.
Now, it's not like Konstas looks to the manner born, he had that one innings where he got in to Bumrah and everyone lost their shit, but other than that there wasn't a lot of return.
but
that's two young openers they have rissoled in a couple of months, in an ageing team desperate for some new blood. They are short runs at the top of the order because old man Khawaja can't buy one at the moment. No way Inglis is a long term option, and moving Head is risking their current best batsman. Doesn't seem the smart play to me

the fuck do i know?
Aus are 66/0 after 10 overs

Australia scoring runs freely on the sub continent..whats happening?

Is there any way to watch this in NZ? I can't find any coverage

I thought this would be on Sky but apparently not. I don't know why I pay $50 a month for that piece of shit service.

Cheers Trav. Thrown away a ton against a pretty toothless attack there
Poor guy. Only missed out by 43 runs
7 overs at his rate

Waj buys himself his home farewell

I stand by this point.
These two are bitch slapping a pretty ordinary attack. Head should have done the same.
The real tragedy: the fact we've lost two wickets

Day 1 to Australia convincingly, given the amount of spinners playing, im expecting this road to break up like an earthquake has come through and Tony's keys to be lost in the cracks

Back to back Tests on the same square should be interesting.

Honestly every since I made that post about Smith being past it and his technique being found out he's just piled on the runs. Regret saying anything now.

He’d have over 12,000 runs if he wasn’t such a cheating Aussie fuckwit
( doing a @Virgil post since he’s not here much anymore )

And he's been far less weird about it. Probably because it is mostly spin and not pace, but no exaggerated movements, or loud "NO RUN" calls etc.

200 for Waj
Career well and truly saved.
462/3 off 110 overs

Strange fella but you can’t fault that record.
Enough to be Australia’s second best ever batsman ?
Maybe.
Ponting faded a bit as his career went on, he should have retired earlier.
Greg Chappell was by all accounts a genius and played in a very tough era for fast bowlers.
Border and S Waugh had that gutsy, battler style and were dogged as fuck. Border gets extra kudos for averaging more overseas than at home.
Bradman rated McCabe very highly despite him averaging less than half of what he did……
Smith has to be in the discussion.
