Surely the point is to do it a few times early and then polish the shit out of the less scruffed side?Randall wrote:Just as easy scuff up the wrong side throwing em in like that.Captain Hobo wrote:Well, it would have to have been more subtle than Broad's one from mid-on that landed in the middle of the pitch.Randall wrote:That's the report I read this morning

desperation is a terrible thing.

Re: cricket thread
I don't think it is desperation. Bounce throws to scuff up the ball are a common tactic, although on a normal ground they can bounce it a few pitches away. At the MCG with the drop-in pitch, the only rough surface is the pitch itself, which makes it look more blatant. Umpires need to do more than just talk about it, though.Randall wrote:i suppose you are right, i have no idea what they were up too.Captain Hobo wrote:Surely the point is to do it a few times early and then polish the shit out of the less scruffed side?Randall wrote:Just as easy scuff up the wrong side throwing em in like that.Captain Hobo wrote:Well, it would have to have been more subtle than Broad's one from mid-on that landed in the middle of the pitch.Randall wrote:That's the report I read this morning

I think this match has shown there really isn't much between the teams. England lose their best player and then the first 3 matches. Australia lose their best bowler and struggle to bowl England out here.

Nathan Lyon is better than the English spinners but I think the Poms played better than a 3-0 suggests.Randall wrote:England don't think so as they are going with two spinners.9farter wrote:Sydney pitch will have more life in it, hope Aussies make it 4-0

How bad does Moeen have to go to get dropped? I know he would've been if Woakes was fit, but surely they could find someone better?

Half decent position blown.
Tails vanishes tomorrow and another struggle looms if the Aussies can be bothered.
