After 3:30 local time I think, all good. Gives our bowlers a little breather before heading out again

Home - 17 innings, 940 runs, 67.14 average, 55 SR, 4 tons
Away - 18 innings, 515 runs, 30.29 average, 49 SR, 1 ton

Khawaja may not be born here but he sure has embraced the Aussie way of being a lion at home and a kitten away :P

Handscombe looked great out there, not so much Maddo and Renshaw but not everybody can gun it on debut. Hoepfully they can get a few more shots.

Australian cricket at absolute rock bottom and you're not even pinging us. In fact, your posts have actually been infinitely more constructive lately, sick work man :P

Yeah all of Jukes' posts have left me speechless tbh. I am literally without speech.

Moreso a fan of young state cricketers getting a shot for the underdogs!

And that sneaky Seinfeld reference tho <3

you flowerin beauty Starcy abd a great catch Smiddy!

[Bill Manspeaker]

this is on you Wadey

[Jukes]

Why hasn't Agar been talked up more as a replacement for Lyon? He's been great for WA recently, hell of a lot better than Nathan "One wicket in like 150 overs and that was by stumping a #10" Lyon - Agar is a better bowler and obviously a far better batsman.

This season in the shield he's taken 13/233 (17.9 average) with a 10fer and scored 89 runs (22.25 average), considerably better than Lyon's output of nothing vs SA. Not that huge of a sample size but it's still very good production so far.

Amla the goose, just insta appeals without even talking it over with his partner

You only do that if you know for sure you didn't hit it!

Joshy got him again  ;D

[Bill Manspeaker]

got iiiiim and a wasted review

on Agar I'm not really sure if he's under consideration by the selectors. that does look like he's in form so I dunno. maybe he gets a crack against the Pakis

or maybe they'll stick with Lyno. he's been pretty reliable over the years, just going through a bit of a dry spell

I thought Warner bowled leggies?

He definitely used to once upon a time.

Weren't half bad either! Would've liked either him or Smiddy to have really worked hard on their leggies.

[Bill Manspeaker]

I think he switched a little while ago. I can't remember when but I've seen him bowl medium pace a couple times before

absolutely. I wouldn't mind the odd half tracker if they broke a few partnerships every now and then

Actually now I think about it he bowled seam at the gabba the other year against India
