Australian Cricket Season 2024-2025

Does anyone remember the Aus test match, likely the Boxing Day one, when televised by Channel 9 and it went down to the wire and they went to an ad break mid over and missed the last wicket?

During a synchromesh scanner ad!
Good these days we have Kayo with no adds, but have to put up with the annoying Kerry O’Keefe unfortunately.

Mitch Marsh is clearly in the team for his catching.

I sometimes got promoted to our clubs A team as a specialist fielder. Silly mid on or silly mid off. And a specialist number 11 batsman.

I’ll be sad when the cricket season finishes as I find that watching it has helped me to get to sleep.

I usually only get to the 5th over in the every night big bash games. And we have the TV on mute when Warner is miked up. He's not too bad as a commentator but as now newly allowed captain of his team his mouth never stops.

I don’t watch the telly, prefer the ABC, have been enjoying Boofs insights, and Sunil’s odd outburst of passion

The Indian dilema…

STUPID STUPID STUPID!

I also particularly love when Ali Mitchell says "Boof" in her accent.

I have missed Dirk Nannes and Jim Maxwell fighting during this season.

Love the irony that Marnus is the only guy not appealing for once

He's kind of got his legs angled. But yes. He needs to back that off. A lot

 

[Pushka]

Marsh has been dropped.

I think you're underestimating him. He's tremendously bad. Almost wished he was back in the team such is his commentary style/skills. Almost.

There's no fully satisfactory solution to the commentary dilemma. Each channel has one good one, two tops. Ponting is the best around IMO so I've been going Ch7. It's a pity Bogle is not with him.

Dang. coughmins' bunny was a gimme for us! A lot like David Warner was to the English, if you will. It'll be interesting to see the last time a captain was dropped mid-series?

I guess suspended doesn't count, for Smith!
Mike Denness in the 70's?

Looking forward to a great finale tomorrow, if we forget about Perth I think our guys have done well, and the Indian camp have their issues

Happened to be in the area this afternoon.

Only Indian fans would show up to watch the team train through mostly blacked out fences the day before the test.


And an hour later



Some big cheers when Bumrah came out towards the end

Will see if I can post some @QF WP style updates tomorrow.

My group has an 11am sitting at Bistro 1886, the main restaurant in the SCG Members Pavillion.

Suspect the steaks will be popular despite the price tag.

The other sit down restaurant, a branch of Tottis with a limited menu to their other locations is walk-in only - it is a the rear of the mid-level (L2) in the Bradman Noble stand.
