Northern Red Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 You see the one he caught earlier and then he drops that one. Who'd be a keeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 His keeping has improved so much but you have to take that. As easy as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 They’ve planned for so long they look nervous wrecks. Buttler and Burns can’t catch unless it’s one they catch on instinct. Root’s voice wavers in every interview like he’s about to cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globe Trotter Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 All the ingredients there for another 5-0 whitewash - already in this series we have seen terrible selection decisions, batting collapse, wickets off no balls, missed run outs and abysmal catching. All that’s missing is a couple of injuries to key players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) The Aussies have been in control of both tests by the end of the first day with both bat and ball and after losing and winning the toss!

B1ackbird Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Couldn't have gone much worse could it? Modern cricket dictates we have to use the first test as a 'warm up', and a good chance for ex-players to wine on that their buddies, aren't playing.

ralphindevon Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 One of those days when you really need the rub of the green to go your way. It didn’t and as is often the case everything then starts to go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that often is followed by other things going wrong like dropped catches bad bowling etc. One follows the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it, was there myself. 1 early wicket then we had to endure Warner and smith batting all day. Ruined the tick on my bucket list. Am I right in thinking that on day 2 the wickets fell like dominoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS5_RED Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Bowled reasonably well early but didn't make the most of the scoreboard pressure. Looked very inspid from about 30 overs on. If the plan was to use a bowler as the bouncer Im not sure why we'd leave the fastest bowler out of the side? We need 3 wickets in the first hour tomorrow. Otherwise the 40c heat will make bowling very difficult. I'm a pessimist. Could quite easily see Aus declaring on about 450 and us being 30/3 at stumps. Still. The grounds pretty as always. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
