    Making his case for a start at the G. That's about 47 more than Jeets averaged on the Perth minefield

      59 not out Blundell retired.

      A pretty good case for a Boxing Day start!

            Last time I abused him early in a game it seemed to work remarkably well. So....

              Kane and Rossco are way out of form. Boult will be underdone, etc.

                Not even worth watching.

                We're rubbish, always have been rubbish and will prove to be rubbish again for 4 and a half days this week.

                Shitty team, 2 nil to Oz

                  Unfortunately won't be sleeping but will be travelling with two non-males, one of whom at 16 has no interest in cricket (well any sort of broadcast sport generally), and the other, whilst happy to keep a passing eye on it, is extremely unlikely to let me tune to the radio.

                  So am hoping it had the same effect.

                      Well I'm fucked if I know what's going to happen.

                      Have had every scenario possible run through my head, worryingly gets stuck on another innings shellacking.

                      Is it too simple to pray for 6 jaffas to batsmen 1,3 and 4 over 4 days?

                      This is a mental game to predict, without lazily referring to the Perth game where Oz played the best they have (since losing to Bangladesh 😎, merry xmas cricket ferners) for a couple of years, and we, perhaps our worst.

                      But with runs and application at the top and a world best bowling quartet, this Aussie team has woken up on Christmas day to find a national team in rude health.

                      It'd be a win for the ages for us, and on a grassy knoll, we're well capable. But we got a shitty luckless and quirky record when it comes to BIG one offs.

                      It'll be emotional stuff today, full of dread and relief, hope and disappointment ball by ball.

                      Test cricket rocks and this is our biggest test in a lot of people's life time.

                      Win the toss, bat or bowl?

                            @booboo yeah, bat first is the go. Wondering if the pitch renovations don't give both disciplines a chance on day one, talk of a bit of grass

                              That "bat smash" sensor thing, or whatever they are calling it, looks interesting. Bat speed, angle, etc measured from the bat itself. Pretty cool.

                                Have had every scenario possible run through my head, worryingly gets stuck on another innings shellacking.

                                Is it too simple to pray for 6 jaffas to batsmen 1,3 and 4 over 4 days?

                                This is a mental game to predict, without lazily referring to the Perth game where Oz played the best they have (since losing to Bangladesh 😎, merry xmas cricket ferners) for a couple of years, and we, perhaps our worst.

                                But with runs and application at the top and a world best bowling quartet, this Aussie team has woken up on Christmas day to find a national team in rude health.

                                It'd be a win for the ages for us, and on a grassy knoll, we're well capable. But we got a shitty luckless and quirky record when it comes to BIG one offs.

                                It'll be emotional stuff today, full of dread and relief, hope and disappointment ball by ball.

                                Test cricket rocks and this is our biggest test in a lot of people's life time.

                                Win the toss, bat or bowl?

                                Is that a serious question?

                                It's in Aus. Won't be a seamer. Will likely deteriorate. No night session.

                                Aus will win the toss and bat ...

                                Completely wrong - but, right! πŸ™‚

                                Kane wins the toss and we will bowl.

                                I suspect that will make for a less nerve-wracking morning for me, but ultimately won't be a great decision.

                                  Are we a chance here ?

                                  I’m an mcc member, got shit on today and tomorrow, might head in on the weekend, just hope it’s not looking ugly by then, that will be my luck.

                                        Won't be too far away I would think.

                                          Just saw a clip of Boult's wicket. Fuck that was a PEACH. (Just wish it was Warner he'd done it to.)
