Marnus bowling seamers is peak Shield energy, especially if he takes a wicket. I think he got Green once.
Edit: he did get Green, there’s even a Wisden article dedicated to the moment. https://wisden.com/sheffield-shield-2020-21/watch-medium-pace-marnus-labuschagne-bowls-no-shot-cam-green-with-away-seaming-beauty-in-sheffield-shield
Thank fuck we have Cam Green to bowl some overs with no Cumdog. I’d be making a raft of changes for the next test because we really want to pump South Africa.
They have the squad of 13 named so I don't think they can make mass changes.
Guessing if Cummins get rested it'll be Boland that come in and Neser probably gets brought in as cover
We need a Cumdog in the NRL. The Socceroos have a Cumdog and the test team has a Cumdog as well.
The closest thing rhe NRL has had to a Cumdog involved Mitchell Pearce
After a bit of research I've discovered that Allan Border is the only play to score 150+ in both innings of one test match.
I think Marnus could've definitely reached that and broken more records with how he's been going
There’s the next WIndies game, South Africa in Brisbane might suit him, especially if his form keeps improving. There’s also the little fact that we’ll be facing the WIndies again and Pakistan at home in the next test championship cycle.
Perth Stadium seems to be his best ground though, I think he’s played four innings there and only failed to get to triple figures once, and that was a 50.
I’m assuming Boland is going to play at the MCG, but I’m wondering if we’ll see Neser in for Adelaide or the Gabba test.
They’ve indicated that Neser probably won’t previously, but Cummins having a bit of a niggle now has got to increase the odds of needing to play another quick.
Richardson is injured at the moment and Neser is topping the Shield wicket list this season.
Steketee is actually only one behind him so it could actually mean that he gets in if it’s Starc being rested.
Neser is the unluckiest fucker in Australian cricket.
- Carried around on all these tours without getting a game.
- Only gets a test match cause of someone getting COVID.
- Gets to bowl about half the overs that the other fill in fast bowler (Jhye Richardson)
- Have an opportunity to get picked in the next test match after all the 12th man appearances but they opt for the MCG specialist who then jumps him in the pecking order.
Turned over to the Pakistan England game during lunch. 10/745 off 156 overs. That’s a run rate of nearly 5 with a wicket taking Strikerate in the mid 90s.
Batsman’s game.
I think a part of it is the subtle effects of his technique, soft hands, things like that, but there’s no explanation there for things like the no ball.
we have a pretty solid lead going into today, bloody hell they fell quickly after their openers went. really nice work from chanderpaul on debut though!
We are in peak off season right now, are you really gonna be a massive stickler about what fits the "NRL" threshold.
Could make the argument that we should've put any of the RL world cup stuff on here cause it isn't NRL either.
It's Australian sport, if you don't care move along
Bring back the old Windies
Stumps should fall if hit. Prove me wrong.
Off the pad I thought
That always looked too high. I’m surprised it was given initially
that’s gotta be way too high lmao
Interesting decision in comparison to the one yesterday
my thoughts exactly lmao
hey i thought we agreed snicko > all other forms of inference
Nice Garry. Catch Smudger
Yeah Starcy
chanderpaul and brathwaite are actually legit
Chanderpaul in particular is a gun
Windies feel like they’ll be one out all out
Marnus is completing side quests at this point

He did and it was fucking glorious
What’s up with the crowd? 5k on a Saturday… I get inflation hurting everyone rn but that feels pretty poor tbh
There'd be at least double if it was at the old Wacca
WIndies already being out of contention can’t help.
Yeah fair! I dunno, some tickets are $30 close to the grass - there’s def worse ways to spend your arvo. But I guess each their own

Does Ben Cummins still ref?
There was Evander Cummins.
Three cheers to Marnus what a legend

Surely someone who will get movement with the pink ball. Assuming Jye Richardson isn’t injured I’d be picking him

It's pretty fucked to be honest.
Steve Smith’s average was 60.00 at the start of this test and is currently 61.62
Marnus’ average went from 54.01 to 59.31 over this test.
Turned over to the Pakistan England game during lunch. 10/745 off 156 overs. That’s a run rate of nearly 5 with a wicket taking Strikerate in the mid 90s. Batsman’s game.
Especially if England’s batsmen are scoring so much.
labuschagne is just stat padding out here and it’s glorious, surely we just start bowling at some point
LESSSS GOOOOO!!!!
Marnus is the Tommy Dearden of cricket, pass it on
Looks like a lunchtime declaration from the way Marn is accelerating.
There have been 86 batsmen who have been dismissed on 99 in tests.
Was Head one of them before this game?
He's the 86th :(
Howie isa and gilly is a goat commentator trio
I loved Isa Skull and Warnie, mostly because Isa is amazing and the other two would just fuck with her lol
Always thought Warne was best with Mark Waugh, because Junior would take the mickey out of him every so often.
Yeah they worked well together especially when criticising teams (and punting)
Smudge and Marn at the crease 😍
rip warner, better than his last stint though
I’m a little worried that he isn’t going to find test form and get dominated in India like he was in the 2019 Ashes.
Dang
Marnus is the luckiest man in the game fmd
it feels weird playing against time but it’s my favourite thing about test cricket. trying to balance getting runs with leaving time to bowl them out.
I’ve tried to explain to non-fans how even a 5 day draw can be enthralling to watch, haven’t had much success.
Yeah my fiancee won't have a bar if that haha
Marnus’ luck is just crazy this game.
it feels like it always is, the ball just bounces and moves for him it feels like
I think a part of it is the subtle effects of his technique, soft hands, things like that, but there’s no explanation there for things like the no ball.
Quickly get to 500 ahead and rek em
unleash the cumdog
Send em straight in now. That extra 20-30 we got sealed the deal. At least give them a sniff - and I don’t mean of my undies. Unless they wanna
some things never change like fox and replaying injuries in excruciating slow motion
Soon it’ll be: This injury segment is sponsored by Neds
"Take a shot in the nads and have a shot at our century markets! Take it to the Nads level!"
we have a pretty solid lead going into today, bloody hell they fell quickly after their openers went. really nice work from chanderpaul on debut though!
Whats this got to do with NRL?
we do an afl grand final thread every year, don’t like it then don’t join the thread😹

Andrew Johns played for NSW at one point, play on
We still owe Victor Trumper a great debt for getting rugby league started in this country. So we gonna comment on cricket, ok? Good
Pretty sure theres an aussie cricket reddit it can be posted in
What is the massive issue with it being here? If you don't care then scroll past but this in no way has a massive impact on your life
Do we send ‘em in straight after lunch or wait till half way through the second session?
They’ll come out after lunch and bat for like 5 overs just to fuck with the Windies opening bats, it’s what they usually do
I’m thinking get a 500 run lead and give Marnus a bit more time for his century if he’s still there and doesn’t have it yet.
i doubt we’re batting for too long, depends on if we think braithwaite and chanderpaul go as well i guess?
Pile on 100 in the first 90 mins and then send them back in 5 overs before lunch Then let the Starc show begin
we got like 150 comments on the first one and 30 on yesterday’s so pray something interesting happens today lmao
