Australian International Summer 2023/24

Did anyone else think Marcus nearly stuffed up the Braithwaite catch ?
Caught it then threw it up straight away and it landed on the turf
Should Braithwaite had held his ground ?

No, but Marnus probably would have if he was batting instead of fielding.

I noticed that. I think he threw it with more control than Herschell Gibbs 1999 so I think it was still out.

I hope the lad can turn it around but Green looks a mile out of his depth at 4.
Not sure how he is still in TBH.
Hope he can see it out and start fresh tomorrow

Same would love to see Green become the player his potential offers

Kind of looks like he might become a frontline bowler who bats at 8.

Alternatively if they are set on having him in (I think it’s pretty fair given his bowling is a massive asset) could he bat at 7 with everyone going up one spot. Essentially he plays as the all rounder, Marsh currently justifies his place as a pure batter and even if it slightly dips realistically who comes in at 5/6 and peforms better anyway.

Won’t be an issue, rain has largely passed.

Pitch still playing well, no movement off the pitch or in the air

Aussies look very comfortable

Gee, Haydos is Gods gift to the hearing impaired.

Specialist fielder, 42 with 37 coming from edges

Batting 3 spots too high

[locky801]

Green gone for 42 to a decent one from Joseph

3/113

[Armchair expert]

Head is a hack too lets be honest

[locky801]

King pair to Trav

last 4 balls he has faced at the Gabba for Australia in Tests, Head has been dismissed
three first ball ducks in a row there after being dimissed for 92 against Sth Africa

[whufc]

Head producing some Ajit Agarkar type numbers this summer.

Has had a couple of good innings but will really want to some find that consistency especially his well publicised post World Cup celebrations
