The Cricket Thread (part 7) - The Mitch Marsh Test Renaissance period

Warner with a legit leg glance for 4.
Next ball he punches through cover for another 4. Not trying to thrash the ball, just caressing it. Next ball he cuts through the slips for 4 more, not an edge, genuine cut shot. 12 off the Ashraf over, all to Warner.

oh dear

Usman dropped and goes for 4

Oh no

How do you drop that?

Lololol
That’s u10’s stuff

Good god.

Commentators being very kind here

If first could get to it, you’d think the keeper could’ve as well.

If you don’t get a hand to it, is it dropped? :rofl:

Uzzie top edges and dropped by slip running back, the ball then runs over the boundary for another 4. As a chance a meal was made of that, terrible effort. Next ball Uzzie drives again straight for a couple more. Next ball Uzzie pulls for 2 more.

not that i don’t love a bit of perth bashing, but who the hell is going to take a day off right before christmas to go to the cricket?

the sensible (ie: will never happen) thing to do would be to start on a saturday

Sheesh… Vaughan bringing up a good point. Theres a total of 143 test wickets in this Pakistani lineup. Away. In Australia. In Perth.

Probably not the place to debut an inexperienced attack.

aussies will declare having made 550 by tea tomorrow

at this rate - they’ll be 700 by tea tommorrow

That’s a fair point … maybe the crowd improves in the 2nd and 3rd session.

Can Warner triple-ton again?

It makes India winning successive test series out here in Australia even more creditable. We generally do as we please and dismantle just about everyone from the get go each summer.

Is the test televised on commercial tv?

yes C7

The Gabba green top against the Saffers was last summer’s awesome start. Head’s innings was a thing of beauty when everyone else stumbled.

Shame he didn’t get the ton, would’ve been one of my favourites.
