So far, so good, been solid

Credit for today's innings, even against a pop-gun attack.

Edit: Well that certainly mozzed him.

Fail.

Spoke too soon! Another wicket thrown away by Wade.

 

[pete and tys]

This is a state level bowling attack on a flat track.
Minimum score of 450 .
Unfortunately world cricket, Australia included, is of an ordinary standard.
We have 2 test class batters only. Very sad.
Green has his chance. Will get none better.

[Bill Haverchuck]

Shameful display , series on the line and they produce this crap...

Wade should never play again. I have been a fan for his determination at times but he's just not good enough.
If there isn't a player in Australian first class cricket 10 years younger who can offer the same, then we have a real problem.
Someone said state level? I've seen many better district attacks.
I reckon even Labuschagne who got 100 is sitting there thinking he's thrown away 250 here.
Mark Waugh spot on. They've mentally relaxed because the bowling is sh!te and everyone thinks it's just going to happen.

On another matter, Isa Guha just said that Labuschagne's brother plays rugby for Japan.
Interesting. Is it true? Not mentioned on either's wikipedia page.

I think the Indians have bowled well, especially with such an inexperienced attack. Of course I think we’ve been a tad over cautious as well.

 

[marella jube]

Aim should be to bat until mid afternoon tomorrow...Good to hear radio commentary (abc) link Labuschagne's ton to Martin's 4th goal in the 2020 GF...

 

[bigwow]

Probably as good a chance as Paine will get to make 100, probably just mozzed him too.

Maxwell is missing a trick here with the Stars. He should be batting no lower than #3, preferably opening in this league. Fletcher is a club cricketer. You only get 120 balls in this game, you want one of Stoinis or Maxi facing 60 of them.

Stoinis
Maxi
Maddinson
Larkin

the rest

 

[MD Jazz]

Maddison is one of the more overrated cricketers in the BBL although not sure anyone really rated him now?

shows how poor the stars batting depth is if he is at 3 or 4.

 

[bigwow]

India starting day 2 pretty well.
Sundar hasn't played first class cricket since 2017, before this test.
Good to see Starc at least have a look before going big.

 

[tigertim]

369 ended up being a good total, still, we went from 5/311 to all out 369 losing 5/58 this morning.

 

[tigerman]

Said it before, I'll say it again.....why does Cummins, the best bowler in the world not open the bowling?

Heard a coach explain Starc's optimum value to the team mainly with the new ball whereas Cummins a proven wicket taker, old & new ball.

When Cummins has opened the bowling he has done it with Starc.

 

[tigertim]

Starc is just becoming a liability. Doesn't take enough top order wickets, leaks runs and bowls so inconsistenly.
