How to win a test match, with New Australia.
Make 166 runs in 85 overs on the third day, to lull the opposition into a true sense of security.
Brilliant.
Yes there are reasons.
India bowled defensibly.
The moon is in it’s block till death position at the moment.
And it is day of the wombat I am sure.
But what the fuck were they doing?
Everything was so good yesterday, they got to 200 at like 4 an over.
Then it all went wrong.
You expect King Probot Mike Hussey to bring the scoring down, that is his thing.
But Haddin and Cam?
What the fuck is going on?
Is Tim Neilson putting rohypnol in their cereal?
I have seen Haddin and Cam bat a lot, but in this series it’s as if they are some photo copied version of themselves.
Why pick attacking players, and hold them back.
Surely this is not the players doing, I don’t believe Brad Haddin even knows how to defend.
This was a tactic, because everyone did it.
It wasn’t even just these guys, it was Clarke, Watson, Krejza and Johnson.
Johnson, the man who slaps the ball to all parts, prodding like a turd with pads on.
For fucks sake man, you aint a batsman, you is a hitter, not a bad one at that.
A quick 40 odd could have given us the edge.
The only edge Australia have now is the razor blades all Australian fans got out whilst watching this days play.
New age cricket is biting Ponting’s ass I suppose. Thanks for taking GC back :-)
Will the real Australia please come back. I can’t keep getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning to watch them plod along at 2 runs an over. Unless they sort themselves out this winter’s games against South Africa may be the dullest for a long time as Smith’s boys appear content to grind out scores instead of being interesting.
DD, was glad i didn’t get up this morning, i would have gone mental watching Katich.
This was a very strange day of test cricket, but it was test cricket all right.
I know whats wrong. ZombificationSeriously though i watched a bit of so before switching over to the England v Kiwi match this morning, could be worse to watch I thought.I was wrong naturally.
Is it possible that it’s actually Nielson that is to blame for this? We never saw this back in Buck’s time. Or has Katich infected the whole team?
narkins, They certainly weren’t the fast moving Zombies favoured by Danny Boyle. Rusty, I am happy to blame both.
