42-6

42 for 6......... think they want it over and to go home, or maybe have a round or two of golf.

But the pitch changed dramatically overnight.

 

[SydneySwan]

Australia now declining singles. WTF?

 

[drron]

If this was a boxing match I would throw the towel into the ring.

 

[TheRealTMA]

Where’s Boland to save us this time?

 

[Pushka]

Where’s Boland to save us this time?

Well he’s not a batter though.

 

[TheRealTMA]

Well he’s not a batter though.

In the current team, he looks like a better one!

 

[Daver6]

Well he’s not a batter though.

Neither are the first six....but boy can he bowl!

Maybe not officially but his 40 as nightwatchman in the second test was only 10 times the runs Marnus made at Cape Town.

Some players test careers may have ended at Cape Town but I am also thinking that perhaps some or all of the selectors should be replaced as well.

 

[Pushka]

Twice now they've ditched Boland after a successful match the previous one. Disgraceful. And this time it has come to bite them on the backsides hugely. Betting that Smitth is not the popular person right now. Marnus giving lip on the field has received justified Karma.

I wouldnt say careers ended, but certainly should be dropped. Go back to 1st class cricket and find some form.
