Australian International Summer

[am Bays]

Bottom line, we're getting a lesson how to play test cricket:
1. Bat in partnerships
2. Bowl good areas consistently
3. Field well
4. Have plans and execute them.

It isn't rocket science but gee we're making it look like it!

Just saw the Ferguson dismissal, got to say thought he's a fraction unlucky - stayed low and seamed back in, not much he could've done and it hit him flush in the glove and went straight to the slip.. just no luck this match lol

[The Bedge]

On the upside, our players will be available for Shield duties Thursday lol

Agree he was unlucky, but I think his attitude was ultra negative and reminded me of someone who felt really out of their depth.

Now I don't want him playing shots like Warner but if u bat with a totally negative attitude your going to get a negative result

[Jim05]

Just pick Warner and Smith and then fill the middle order up with our u19's side. Can't be any worse than playing these 30yo blokes who aren't up to it

[whufc]

Time to play the kids

You make your own luck in this game and we're not making through poor execution and indecisiveness. We = all 11 wearing a baggy green with a kangaroo and emu on it

LOL how would you be feeling if you've come out in the 2nd innnings of your 1st test ever and your country is up the shitter.. you've failed already in the 1st dig, and you know the vultures will be circling if you fail again..

[whufc]

They said play the South Australians
They said we get treated unfairly
2 players, 14 runs, 1 wicket and an innings loss

[Dogwatcher]

Look at the positives. We could well double our first innings score. I think we need to take something away from this.

I get that but that's what separates the good from the bad, that's why the good players get paid the big bucks as they thrive in adversity

[Booney]

Not Steyn. No de Villiers. And people were calling us a good thing before the series.

[Booney]

Aussies will smoke SAF. Their batting is average and hugely reliant on Amla. Their bowling is quality but the Aussies at home are the best team in the world and are very hard to bowl out. SAF have only won 2 out of their last 12 tests and are without their best player.

Ouch.

Except Hazlewood and Smith, who can you honestly say has earned their spot this test match?

It was a bloody good wicket though.

We all know whufc constantly bags Ferg, even when dominating for Redbacks he finds fault. He would be loving seeing him fail.

But put it in perspective, he was run out in first innings by a direct hit by sub fielder when he was looking ok, and was pretty unlucky in the second dig.

He will play in Adelaide, no doubt, they could not drop him after one match, and I hope he tons up to shove it up the critics, no more than whufc!

6 fa 25 lost this morning

Middle order needs fixing

Patterson has to play in Adelaide

[The Bedge]

Send Khawaja back to open with Warner, bring Kurtis Patterson in to 3 or 4, and drop Voges for Head.

[am Bays]

XI for Adelaide

Burns
Warner
Khawaja
Smith
Patterson
Ferguson
Neville
Starc
Hazelwood
Lyon
Bird

Burns, Ferg and Lyon need runs/wickets

[am Bays]

Send Khawaja back to open with Warner, bring Kurtis Patterson in to 3 or 4, and drop Voges for Head.

If I was Pete Hanscomb and a bloke with less 1st class runs and a worse average (Head) got a baggy green before me, I'd be F***ing pissed off!!!
