Australian Cricket Season 2018-2019

Way to make friends in the crowd.

India still wins the series. They won’t care if it rains all week.

Yes but only 2-1 instead of 3-1.

Smith and Warner back to paper over all the cracks.

I’m thinking that’s a bit irrelevant given the last match was badly affected by rain. Indians win the series and no one cares by how many.

Wow. 30 years since last follow-on...

Barely two hours of play today. I didn’t go

Katoomba was fogged out as well

 

[CaptJCool]

Slow day in the field


Brolly


Slow load up .....

And so Sydney faces it’s 24th day of rain washed out play all day

Melb 9 Bris 8

Adel 2 Perth 0

And we all know that if it hadn't rained we would have knocked up a quick 500 and rolled India for under 100.

Brisbane is host to one of the next Test matches with Sri Lanka. I think from memory a D/N over Australia Day? Used to be the case that BNE had the first match of a series back in November because of rain. So January?

 

[QF WP]

Correct, the next (Test) match is Aust v Sri Lanka starting Thursday 24th January and it's a Day/Night. I'll be there the first 2 days and doing my usual TR. Most of the older QCC members I know aren't going and given the state of the Australian team woes, don't expect numbers to be as good as usual.

So the two teams who have just been beaten in their current Series are meeting.

Although this fellow will make life interesting if either The Gabba or Manuka (where the 2nd Test is being hosted) take spin...

Interesting. Though a lot more tests in SYD and MEL. In the past SYD often hosted two a year.

Still pretty poor to lose 5 full sessions of play with barely more than 2mm of rain

That’s the kicker, isn’t it. It was just drizzle. Less than.

India dodged a bullet there.

Sorry, don’t understand?

Saved by the rain. Very lucky.

Very poor decision yesterday and even poorer today. Those conditions were not dangerous for anyone.

Still don’t understand. It was Australia who were saved.

Sorry, I should have used 'humour' font.

See post 787.Probably though the post number was the best thing about that post.

At last, still reckon the brothers will be going to England though, I really hope that Pucovski is ok mentally, he did have an issue recently and he is after all, only 20 or so. Hope he does well.

Okay, I hadn't heard the name before, had to use Google: Cricket young gun’s shock revelation

That's a pity. Seems that he could have a great batting future. No need to rush him into a Test team at age 20. He could be the neucleus of the team in the future - like some of the U19 One Day World Cup 2018 side like Jason Sangha, Jack Edwards, Max Bryant, etc.
