Review for DBW

No ball was both the correct decision and the result

Travis Head is still hungover from the world cup celebrations. He’s been useless this series. Someone give the guy some raw coffee.

Well Pakistan have done so well here. I didn't expect it.

 

[Thresher]

Going to be a fascinating remainder to the day's play.

What a ball.

Warner could be walking out to a standing ovulation tomorrow morning to win the game.

That could be uncomfortable.

That could be uncomfortable.

Not only his time of the month, it's time up on his career.

Could be like a red rag to a bull.

Australia’s bowling is a deadset cheat code. I think a lot of fans take it for granted, but this is seriously one of our greatest ever bowling units, not just the guys out there today, look who they cant fit in. Boland, Morris, Neser to name a few.

Spot on, even looking further back though we've been spoiled with what most teams would consider generational talent, but for us it's almost expected.

Yeah it's pretty bloody good. Personally I think McGrath/Gillespie (at his best)/Warne/insert whoever was the best I've seen.

Really Warne and McGrath to be honest. The amount of pressure they could both create at one end gave the bowler up the other side so much freedom to be able to attack. That's not a slight on anyone else in the attack, they were just in their own league.

Yeah I agree, but today’s attack isnt far off.

Warne, McGrath, Gillespie, Lee, Kaspa, Fleming, MacGill, Symonds, Fleming, Johnson

Cummins, Starc, Hazelwood, Lyon, Boland, Morris, Neser, Richardson, Sayers, Murphy.

I mean Jesus ****ing Christ.

You can imagine Boland, Neser and Morris walking into almost any other nations test team and immediately making it much better. Unbelievable depth in Australia’s bowling stocks at the moment. A pity about the batting stocks, although looking at some of the younger guys in Shield cricket, those stocks ate getting healthier.

True but I think Gillespie was extremely underrated at his best.

Warne is the big one that differentiates the two attacks. As good as Lyon's been he's not on the same planet. That's not a knock on him btw, Warne was definitely one of a kind.

I was thinking earlier about how bereft our bowling stocks looked after the 2011 Ashes series. Pigeon and Warnie had retired, the Poms were racking up consecutive 500, 600+ scores every test and we were trying a new spinner every game. How times change.

 

[Thresher]

True but I think Gillespie was extremely underrated at his best.

He seemed perpetually unlucky. He was always beating the bat and rarely getting the nick. Maybe too good in some ways.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Just let the man hit the winning runs and have his farewell moment so he can **** off and not be tempted back for a “perfect” farewell.
