Opening post

It is unlikely that BT will be dropped.

Welly should make way for either Burl or Cremer. I would prefer Burl, but Cremer is still a good option.

Who's in your XI? I think they will go with this one 👇

Curran, Bennett, Kaia, Taylor, Craig, Raza, Wes, Burl, Evans, Newman, Muzarabani

He was being hidden by the captain.


Old Raz wants the overs himself 😂😂

The brass band sounds pretty damn awful on the telly, but man these guys are pretty good players. They've got a tight rhythm section and the lead trumpeter is pretty smooth. Almost like Jimi Hendrix with a trumpet. Ok... maybe a bit of an exaggeration. Point still stands, he's pretty good.

I'll go back to hating the brass band when I am on my computer, but today, I'm going to be banging my head to their tunes!

Raza will put himself on soon. After seeing that wicket.


Brought himself for that one over, burnt the review and put Wez back on 😂😂😂🚮

I imagine the band and people singing at the same time would be amazing there.

I wonder if the just need to move the crowd mics. For the broadcast

Good call bringing a Pacer back on.

Blessing has just not been on this series.
ModZCF OriginalVeteran
Two big efforts in the field there.

Evans has been hit all around the park this series. But atleast he got some wickets

Is the pitch a real belter or our bowling really poor or the batting just too good?

Poor bowling by Brad, wrong tactics.

Also Welly not bowling out his 10 is stupid.

I wouldn’t say there has been a lot in it for the bowlers but also some poor bowling at times.

Ngarva is a much better captain than Raza

I never imagined him to be, but yeah, in the 3 matches he captained, the tactics were sharp though.

Still to early to judge Richie

So many of the same mistakes, and we just keep recycling the same players expecting different results.

What margin would be the loss now?

I'm starting with 56 runs

They have really missed Richie up front.

In fairness, Head on his day is very hard to stop.
Connolly is going to be a good player for Aus.

The big thing you notice between the sides is just how easily they can hit 6’s
