Not gonna lie tho McShittigan could work at the whacker because he's literally a "that didn't work, time to bowl bouncers" kind of bowler. He's just shit at it.
>>63460998
I doubt they'll actually play both 2bh, the likely solution is Santner in for Neesham and Henry and Wagner in, depending if Southee is fit or not
But then again they unironically kept playing Craig in the UAE after he got walloped so they might play him again hoping he'll get a few meme wickets.
McShitagain won't play unless all the bowlers get injured though. At least i hope so

>>63472405
Anything above 50 over a decent sized career is extremely good.
Some good batsmen, like Kane Williamson as an example, bat better at home and score more runs there. Steve is special because he is equally prolific at home and overseas.
>>63472405

It's fucking crazy to think that we will probably never see another batsman who has played 50 Tests average over 60. Let alone fucking 99.94.
>>63472463
Wait spell refers to the bowler.
Is there a term for the time a batter is not out?
>>63472473
Innings
>>63472473
everytime a batsman goes out that is an innings. There are two innings in a Test match (they dont always bat two innings tho, Peter Nevill didn't bat at all against PP). If the batsman is notout then his average is counted from the next time he is dismissed. So if a batsman scores
20*
35*
10
He will average 65.
*=not out
Michael Hussey at one point racked up an average of 100+ in ODI's by batting @ 7 and constantly being notout.

Besides that, it isn't fair to compare across generations.

>>63472570

The bowling rankings are terribly inaccurate. The career best rankings for batsmen are at least semi reliable
4 seamers + craig@7
4 seamers + ronchi
3 seamers + santner & craig
if they pick that last option at the fucking waca i will lose my mind

there was signs of this against England aswell. If the opposition gets on top he seems to get confused and have no idea what to do. I'd unironically rather have Captain Cock than McMeme if his bowlers aren't going to do the job because atleast Cook will keep the scoring rate down.
the WACA is Warner's favourite ground. if he gets in it will be carnage.
>>63472580
also 3 seamers + ronchi and craig
>>63472583
It was funny watching their fielders run more than the batsmen
>>63472578
by that logic Ponting was better than Viv
>>63472563
Latham was decent too.
McMeme was scoring at will until umpball.
>>63472596
yeah, no shit
>>63472577
I disagree
he got starts in both innings but then got bogged down and couldn't rotate the strike and let the bowlers work him over.
Australian bowlers are too good to try and block out an entire day against, you have to rotate the strike or they'll get you out eventually. I know you're going to say Adelaide 2012 but that was against Hilfenhaus & Siddle (Patto broke down 1st innings).
>>63472155
Yes. He's only played one Shield match and was the best bowler in an attack that tore Qld a new arsehole in the second innings (that team included Khawaja and Burns). He also looked very good in the domestic one day tournament, I would have had him as the second best bowler of the tournament behind Starc.
That said, there's no need to rush him back to the national team. I think ease him through this summer to give him back his confidence in his body and target a Test comeback about a year from now when Johnson has retired.
>>63472596
at his peak, there were few better than Ricky Ponting.
Prime Ponting was unstoppable. His average only dropped because he faded badly after 2009. before then he was averaging about 60
>>63472580
>>63472588
I think Hesson will unironically go with the last option or your second post. I'm still undecided as to whether he's a gambler or a genius.
The question is the combination of quicks. It's pretty obvious that Craig absolutely shouldnt play, but if Southee's fit, which seamers do they pick?
They'll probably go for Ronchi over Santner because >muh experience
>>63472600
>>63472606
yeah, did him a fuckload of good in india innit
kys casuals
Can you guys get a new captain that can handle the banter?
I thought this test series was going to be fun
>>63472600
>>63472606
by that logic Root was better than Lara
>>63472608
>I think Hesson will unironically go with the last option or your second post. I'm still undecided as to whether he's a gambler or a genius.
That's suicide
Craig is trash. Santner doesn't even count as an allrounder and as a batsman he averages <30 in NZ First Class cricket.
The only reason Straya won't play 4 seamers is because of Best Marsh but Gary Lyon isn't going to do much.
Guess which country I filtered
>>63472611
>Zhang bringing up Asia EVERY SINGLE TIME
Comparing batsmen across generations is dumb, they faced different bowlers and used different bats
>>63472613
>plays nothing but memes
>refuses to have any fun
Mcmeme is fucking odd tbqh
>>63472616
When has Root ever been good?
He hasn't scored a century away from home except against the fucking Windies (doesnt count) lmao
He averaged like 15 in the away Ashes
>>63472608
Yeah that's probably what will happen.
Anyone else over Australia's obsession with playing an all-rounder? I mean stick with Marsh for the next match because it's the WACA and will be hit as fuck, but in general it annoys me that the selectors never consider going in without one especially when the options we've had have been less than stellar.
>>63472618
I know it's suicide, but he backed Craig all through the UAE tour where he literally averaged 100 with the ball before the last test.
I really hope they pick Wagner. He's the least talented of the lot but he's the hardest worker and doesn't get thrown off his game by getting smacked as much as Henry or Bracewell.
>>63472623
Is McCullum like secretly a Pocock style SJW or something?
There is no excuse for his complete lack of personality
>>63472625
exactly, which is why measuring greatness over a fucking algorithm-based ranking is idiotic.
by that logic Gambhir was better than Gilchrist
>>63472623
>meme bowler vs meme batsmen
the ultimate memeoff
>>63472625
I don't rate Root at all
His record is complete shit in Aus/NZ and has never played in SA
>>63472628
sounds like he should play then
you'll need someone who can keep running in at P*rth because it's going to be like 40 degrees apparently
>>63472627
if you're sticking with the twin Bitchwides meme, then yes, an allrounder is useful
>>63472627
>selectors are worried the batting is too thin with the allrounder
>pick six batsman instead
>60

He never used to be like this, I think he's totally been sucked into this whole le nice guy facade. Especially after the English media won't stop sucking his dick nonstop.
And it's really annoying because I know Southee is itching to dish out the banter.
The lowest level of kuckdom he reached was yesterday when he actually stood up for Starc for chucking the ball at HIS player.
>>63472627
Watson was literally in the team to give bitchwide and harris a break and recover
Obviously with bitchwide 1 and 2, you need an allrounder even more, and Marsh actually has potential to be pretty great so it makes sense
>>63472645
say what you will about guys like Ponting, Waugh or Border, but they'd be fucking furious about what Starc did
Mcmeme is honestly pathetic
>>63472645
>when he actually stood up for Starc for chucking the ball at HIS player
what? I don't remember that at all.
Not surprised though
>>63472645
>I think he's totally been sucked into this whole le nice guy facade
and the >LE AGGRESSIVE CAPTAINCY XDD
he literally believes his own memes
>The lowest level of kuckdom he reached was yesterday when he actually stood up for Starc for chucking the ball at HIS player.
Kek even Stove threw Starc under the bus for that
>>63472636
Yeah, and he should have played in the UAE, but I dunno, the coach seems to have it out for him. He really gets the short end of the stick. He played a big role in the series decider against the Windies, didnt play any of the UAE tests, got smacked in one game in which >we won by an innings anyways, and hasn't played since.
>>63472654

pretty fucking pathetic. he deserves more than a fine for that
>>63472654
>"I hoped he was trying to aim at the stumps and, if that's the case and it just slipped out, then so be it," McCullum said.
>"We'll give him the benefit of the doubt there. I'm sure we'll find out once we have a beer in the changeroom."
>>63472637
>>63472646
Johnson will retire in a year. I say give Marsh that long to improve but if he's still playing as he is now he isn't good enough to be in the Test team. Pick an extra bat and give Lyon more responsibility to tie up an end.
>>63472645
>>63472655
he is stuck in this bizzare double think mindset
He always talks about how aggressive his team will play and how they are always trying to get the mental edge over the opponent (by moving the field every single ball) and yet the actions of the team are the complete opposite.
I would love if NZ would give us back some shit, fuck knows we deserve it.
>>63472662
>once we have a beer in the changeroom
JUST STOP
IT ONLY MAKES ME HATE YOU MORE

>>63472663
Best Marsh should be given atleast all 6 home Tests because Straya will win both series anyway
He should also play the Sri Lanka series because you need an allrounder for that.
Not sure about Best Marsh in New Zealand tho. he really struggled in England and NZ conditions are similar
>>63472654
he said something along the lines of "i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, I thought it just slipped out of his hands" when it was CLEARLY OBVIOUS that Bitchwide Shitarc just threw a shit fit after getting smacked around. Any other captain would have schooled him for that.
Fucking tall poppy syndrome in this country has removed any semblance of attitude or flair from our sportsmen and made them all concrete borebags like Bitchie McWhore
>>63472655
Don't get me wrong, he's done a really good job in the developmental stages of the team, and the aggression meme gave them a chance when they were still young, but the team is maturing enough to the point where they know his natural game enough that he doesn't need to pull memes out of a hat every few overs.
Even now, I feel Kane is well ready for the captaincy, and probably has the far better cricketing brain. McMeme has done a brilliant job in resurrecting the team, but I think he either needs to dial it down or move on and give it to Kane. I don't think he'll be playing tests this time next year anyway.
>>63472669
Yeah, it's not urgent or anything and I think he is the best option if we are going to play an all-rounder. I just hope the selectors don't lock themselves into always picking one even if we don't have a player to warrant it.
>>63472676
I notice the same attitude with the All Blacks. Even when they win they don't seem happy, always snarling
>>63472665
>yet the actions of the team are the complete opposite.
I fucking hated how literally every NZ player ran up to Warner to shake his hand after scoring a 100. You don't have to be Australia-tier dickheads on the field, but at least fucking show some sort of competitive intensity out there.
I hate this whole "le beers after the game" meme. That should only be done after the series has ended, and I have no idea why Australia got flack for it during the Ashes.
>>63472676
>I don't think he'll be playing tests this time next year anyway.
He'll be playing in the pinnacle event on the cricketing calendar, the Big Based League. Canberra expansion team WHEN?
>>63472684
The ABs have no fucking personality despite being probably the most dominant international sports team ever because the media likes to shit on anyone who dares to acknowledge they're the shit. Hadlee was always disliked because he had the nerve to act like a professional in a team of amateurs.
>>63472685
>and I have no idea why Australia got flack for it during the Ashes.
it was a meme created by Blanderson who is genuinely imo the most unlikeable cunt in world cricket
he's basically the awkward loner at school who won't talk to anyone and then will just fuck off and go bitching behind everyone's backs
I have a theory about McCullum
Maybe he is somehow involved with Chris Cairns and Lou Vincent and so now he is trying to win everybody over with "it's just a game" "we are all friends" shtick that he is forcing so that when he goes down people will be like "well, it was just a game, lets not be too harsh on ol Brendon
>>63472665
>I would love if NZ would give us back some shit, fuck knows we deserve it.
fuck yes. Part of the reason the Chappell/Hadlee series were so popular over here in the mid-2000s was because the New Zealand team would always give back to the Australians what they dished out. Now that spark is gone, we're just left with big bad australians vs le nice guys. McMeme needs to stop being John Cena and just let it out, we all know he wants to.
Part of the reason why that Eden Park game was so fucking fun was because the crowd absolutely let it rip at the Australian team. I can't dream of a world where I have to stand up and politely applaud a Bitchwide wicket.
>>63472692
it's not that difficult to be the dominant team in a sport that has absolutely no international competitiveness
The Wallabies are a fucking Sydney/Pissbane private-school meme and they are unironically the 2nd best team in the world.
That's not to take away from the ABs, but Rugby doesn't really have a very good international scene.
>>63472684
New Zealand is a nation with extreme tall poppy syndrome.
If you're a sportsmen and you don't act like the "humble down to earth farmer" type guy you'll be ripped to shreds.
>>63472694
yeah I have no idea how Cook deals with a cunt like him 2bh.
Change of topic, but I've grown to unironically respect Cook as a captain
>>63472703
It totally plays into the Aus cricket team's hands too. They have always thrived when they get to play the bully but if you can flip it back onto them more often than not you will get the edge on them.
>>63472702
literally wouldn't be surprised
he knew about it for years before he bothered to report it
>>63472709
>Change of topic, but I've grown to unironically respect Cook as a captain
Same. he was absolutely shithouse two years ago but he has legitimately improved alot.
Back on the topic, literally everything KP said was true, all of those guys are absolute pricks. But KPs problem is that he is a complete softcunt who literally breaks down into tears if someone calls him a poofter (which he is).
