@BhushanManmath Steve Waugh needs to be chairman of selectors for Australian Cricket Board

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@piersmorgan You mean @englandcricket should just learn to play the game like @CrickeAus … especially when in #Australia on #Australian pitches. Sounds about right. Funny thing is, in classic British fashion, they will copy it and then call it an original English idea!

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@FoxCricket No.

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@ESPNcricinfo He is averaging 36 across Brisbane and Adelaide. Decent average starting off on decent pitches.

[The Oracle @BigOtrivia]

Can’t believe the hysteria over the pitch.

Head- played on

Wetherald- strangled down leg

Labuschagne- drove at a wide one

Smith - bowled through the gate

Carey- was set up…caught down leg

Green- runout

I could go on and on.

@TraceyLeeHolmes Summary: the curator produced a pitch to play a contest over 5 days when neither team had the batting technique to see out half a day.

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@rohan_connolly Absolutely spot on. If @CricketAus and @ECB_cricket want to recuperate it $10million loss per day, it needs to look squarely at its batsmen and the batting coaches. “See ball, Hit ball” works for a short period of time (aka 20 overs). T20 is drowning Test match cricket.

[Rohan Connolly @rohan_connolly]

Well done England on a belated victory. But there's a massive elephant in the room after this Test IMO. Two two-day Tests this series exposes an issue I think has been lurking for some time. And it's NOT about pitches. It's about the disappearance of both technique and sufficient concentration skills from the art of batting.

Look how often teams have been skittled for ridiculously low tallies over the past decade. Why? No, we haven't suddenly started playing on worse tracks. Yes, this pitch helped the bowlers a lot. But anyone who has read about cricket in the era of uncovered wickets or (like me) witnessed some of those crack-riddled MCG nightmare tracks of the 1980s with grubbers and 'poppers' taking heads off knows that it hasn't actually been THAT bad.

I'm not a huge fan of T20 (just find it all a bit 'same-ish') but accept it's bringing new fans to the game. But I'm finding it harder to believe it's not seriously impacting players' ability to play at Test level. So what happens when new players and fans (via T20) come only at the expense of the quality of the game the people who love cricket most MOST love? That's where I think we're at. And when the standard of Test cricket begins to obviously suffer, that is a BIG problem.

Glad to see @CricketAus are still ahead of @ECB_cricket in this test match in Day 1. But the @MCG wicket & impact of T20 leagues on test cricket is laughable 😡 Both need @ICC review! Entertainment and revenue stream$ seem to be the priority rather than the Game of #cricket.

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@piersmorgan Ahhh Piers. Sometimes it’s just ok to be quiet 🤫 your post is anything but an admission of flawed judgement or an apology. It is merely a laughable exercise to stay relevant. Merry Xmas 🎄

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@_MatthewMcGahey @stabs12 Can’t agree enough! Hope selectors are listening.

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@Bombers_Boss It’s time to drop Usman Khawaja. Travis Head to open with Weatherald. Beau Webster in at 6 and Cam Green at 5.
It will look like an incredible side with multiple options for the skipper.

[Matthew McGahey @_MatthewMcGahey]

@stabs12 Surely drop Khawaja and play Weatherald and Head at the top and bring in Webster for the extra bowler.

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@piersmorgan Just came here to do a welfare check on you Piers. Still alive and spitting venom. Standard weekend!

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

@Scobey__ @englandcricket It’s now labelled #TravBall

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

Congratulations again to @travishead34. An exceptional knock. ���

Hate to say it, but chatter within the Australian @CricketAus camp worries me.
“We were thinking of a few options to open – Nathan Lyon was talked about…”
Can u imagine being Renshaw or Konstas or Bancroft 😢

[Doc FS🏃🏽‍♂️⛵️🚴🏾 @Farazolam]

Baz Ball … is now TRAV BALL! @englandcricket take notes.
@CricketAus selectors, hang your HEADs in collective shame for being unable to pick two fit openers despite all the options.

👏 👏 👏

An all time great innings… well done @travishead34 💪 💪

@Twoplanks3 @Bullengarook @DavidShoebridge @Sophiemcneill So 100 Billion USD to get kits that you build by yourself in 40years time… is that the definition of cheaper now? Stop drinking the Koolaid. Yes - we need border protection. But we need it asap. And for a better price than this rubbish of an empty promise.
