@chris_willo Going to be analysing running between wickets like a centre bounce soon. “You have to get lower on the turn, he’s been run out by 3cm, and touched his bat 10cm over the line”.

@willis_macp Coach started in charge of a team with an older core and took a step back, cleared their heads, got results. But been a lot of turnover since 2022… There’s a bit of a reverse Justin Langer here.

@StevoMedia Come on Stevo, he’s a NSW selector who has had a go at Bailey, Allsop and Oliver. It would be like a club employee making attacks on a bunch of AFL House staff members while on Comms.

@daanysaeed @amenners Is seam bowling more effective in the “fringe” post Big Bash, Feb and March often driest months and wicket squares drier at that point?

@codecricketau @craddock_cmail Yes, particularly when the choice he’s given is a right arm off spinner, think it’s doubly so.

@danbrettig Underplayed part of this seems to be Smith’s want for at least two seamers who can bowl short stuff. To be honest, think selection has been conservative at both Brisbane (Doggett picked to bowl sniffs in DN test??) and here in Sydney, where there was still a role for spinner.

Method has been to take “pressure” (consequences) away. Like Eng league cricket on steroids, “ah I’ll get a hit tomoz”. Guys dismissed letting their mates down and told “go harder”. Anti-thesis to what 🇦🇺 have been brought up with (2 day cricket, nothing given, everything earned)

Also, there is a point here on different reaction. But points finger at Australia vis press reaction (hmmm…) vs looking at what we might have respected about 2010/11 team vs this lot. Lots enjoy pointing out Aussies riled up by Bazball, without touching a main point.

Can we get a moratorium on comparing the pitches in Perth and Melbourne? If Perth’s pitch was so bad, why did England spend the majority of Travis Head’s innings bowling it half way down with six on the fence? And doing same to Marnus when he came in?

I've always found Australia to be gracious losers (on the very odd occasion they DO lose to England at home - and, yes, I know they won the Ashes). The last few days have been different dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

Where’s the logic here? Australia wanted a result wicket when 2-1 up against India, with Bumrah at the peak of his powers? Pull the other one. Just seen that what “Australia wants” pitch wise doesn’t actually come into play at all. @willis_macp

@BrookerRules @lithgowflashman Not really. SCG has issues, MCG spicy since they got in trouble and Perth not as consistent as WACA. Chuck in a pink ball test or two… 90s and 00s Australia had fifteen years on roads, with McGrath & Warne the key to bowling teams out.

@NickWelch51 I don’t blame the hesitation that much - the second thought was probably natural when it started spinning back to Carse. But running that extra distance - and taking away a legal “obstruction” was mad.
