***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

[Gnske]

I am very glad I have Kayo right now judging by what people are saying on Reddit.

As bad as Langer has been, Hayden has been worse. Though that said, I'm paying little attention to the commentary, and reading the Reddit comments I might have missed a couple of doozies from Langer.

It's been a real ear gouger today. Probably the worst commentary I've heard in an Australian test match. Surely Channel 7 is receiving torrents of emails objecting to Hayden. God knows why he was picked in the first place.

I love that despite Langer's depiction in The Test that Hayden is still very clearly the weird one.

Hahahaha that's fantastic

 

[Gnske]

That's exactly the type of celebration this game needs to survive

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Nicholson clearly hasn't seen Qais Ahmed.

 

[morgieb]

That might be the best celebration I've seen.

 

[Burgey]

Worth losing that wicket to see Sinclair’s celebration. Wonderful stuff

 

[Starfighter]

Khawaja and Marsh have really been battling it out for the Shane Watson award this season.

Lovely to hear that Guyanese accent

In a rare moment of insight Copeland has described exactly why having 'more than half of tests in Australia' as day-nighters is a bad idea due to the way the pink ball wears.

Third man in place

 

[Starfighter]

I've run out of invective to aim the West Indies for not having a third man to Cummins. They must have lost about thirty runs from it.

 

[Starfighter]

Cummins' first fifty for over five years

What did he say? Curious

Also couldn't pay me enough to listen to the old boys club, sorry you have to repeat it verbatim.

You can't buff the scratches out of the pink ball because it's artificial leather, hence it tends to stop swinging quicker than a red ball

Taking a page out of the Kenwyne Jones celebration book. Well done that man

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Comedic from tage

 

[Gnske]

Also just remembered the pink ball used to exist in Shield cricket.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Noticed the thing with the pink ball a while ago. It just becomes a dull, smooth surface.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

This Nathan Lyon drive thing has been a good development from Australia's standpoint

 

[Nintendo]

We even bazball better than the English.
