Smorgasbord: Jun 18, 2004; Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

Targeting Faulkner is a pretty good strategy, he seems crucial to their attack.

In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

We are absolutely hosed

Uhh no.

Listen I'm not saying he caught it. What I'm saying is there is a reason why even Nasser Hussein said he probably caught it.

It touched all sorts of ground, maybe you missed a couple of the replays? It was really, really obvious. Also :lol:

at the logical fallcy of appealing to the authority of Nasser loving Hussain of all people.

I bought a bottle of scotch for the occasion so I'll probably stop posting and turn to violence pretty soon.

Right here with you.

I loving wish. So many pies. At least take the pace off and bowl those slower bowls back of hand.

Also that drop from Watson was close. It wasn't definitive that he caught it so fair enough its not out but not like it bounced into his hand.

Haddins drop was rubbish; dont dive like a hero. You have a first slip in.

Best case is they plug away from about 2 more overs of Kohli feeling it around and then get another wicket and the game will be back to square. Starc has to come back on now.
