Amazing. On such a flat track.

We better have all our bowlers on song this summer as we will not make many runs, India have some pretty handy pace bowlers now.

And Select better batsmen in our middle order ..watched this live Finch and Kawaja went ok the rest were rubbish .
 
Said it before.

Sammy Heazlett should be in the top order and left there to develop as we did with Langer and Hayden and Martyn and Ponting.

We know how they turned out.
 
Three quick wickets to the Aussies, Pakistan 3-45. Holland with 2 wickets and Lyon the other, 8 wickets for the session.
 
Reckon that's it for the Marsh brothers.

Mitch is the new Shane Watson with his LB's

Here we go again Aust were 0-87, now 3-87.

I know. It's destroying me. Following it online. Feeling nervous as we reached that 0-85 or so because, just when you get a bit of hope.

Sure enough, went and put the bins out. Come back now 3-87. Talk about rubbish. We are incapable of a team performance/fight any more!

Yes it's very disappointing.

At least Head is showing a bit, he could hardly hit the quick Abbas off the square, but looks really good against spin.
 
Sounds like your watching it, on Foxtel or somewhere? Yes, Head is going OK now, but just don't get ahead of yourself ... :hihi

Seriously, as soon as I start to get just a shade of hope these days, flop flop flop. Look at those Marsh goons. Scared to look but did one or both get ducks both innings?

I know not to hope any more. Heading to bed. (We probably should just abandon playing tests on spinners' paradises)

Those blokes were proven first class players before they were picked, he is not. Also, Hayden was in and out (mostly out) for seven years before he solidified his spot. Eight years for Langer. Even Ponting was in and out for four years and everyone knew how great he was going to be.
 
Gotta get rid of the Marsh Brothers ASAP ..never to play for Australia again ( any form of cricket if we want to move forward ). Shaun has been a resonable bat but age has caught up with him . As for Mitch WTF Aussie Vice Captain WTF ???? there are probably 40 Batsmen better than him in Australian Cricket .. Oh he's an allrounder that dosnt bowl as well .

Just gotta admit it Aust are sh!t !!!


Unfortunately. it's a really sad state of affairs isn't it.

CA Really only have themselves to blame, for far too long they've allowed the NSW cricket mafia to rule the game, it seems that if you come from NSW you have a far better chance of getting a game for Australia than if you play for any other state.

A glaring example is Glenn Maxwell, who's a far better player than Khawajar ( Maxie is a better batsman, fielder & can bowl) but Khawajar keeps getting played, where Maxie has been told " you have to prove yourself"
There are plenty more examples throughout the years too.

Please spare me.
I find it extremely frustrating.
