Come one, come all…

Australia is likely to name five changes to the team that got their arses handed to them in Hobart, three are debutantes, batsmen Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson (replacing Joe Burns, Adam Voges and Callum Ferguson), with the other two being Matthew Wade (in for Peter Nevill) and Jackson Bird (in for Joe Mennie).

This will be the 12 consecutive test match were Australia has named a different side from their previous test.

It was done deliberately by all reports, because Warner was off the ground fielding and couldn’t bat till he’d made up the time off. They declared with a few minutes left before Warner could bat, to force the Aussies to rejig the batting line-up and force one of the debutantes to open.

Clever thinking.

Might be a blessing in disguise, Kawaja and Renshaw might be the opening pair Australia has been looking for.
The received wisdom has always been that you bat your best batsman at 3, that would be Smith.
Warner could do some serious damage at 4 or 5.

Elgar: duck

Michael V said:

Elgar: duck

Why a duck?

You tell me.

“Why a no chicken?”, “I catch ona why a horse”

Ian said:

Michael V said:

Elgar: duck

Why a duck?

Origin of the term

The term is a shortening of the term “duck’s egg”, the latter being used long before Test cricket began. When referring to the Prince of Wales’ (the future Edward VII) score of nought on 17 July 1866, a contemporary newspaper wrote that the Prince “retired to the royal pavilion on a “duck’s egg”“.

The name is believed to come from the shape of the number “0” being similar to that of a duck’s egg, as in the case of the American English slang term “goose-egg” popular in baseball and the tennis term “love,” derived from French l’oeuf (“the egg”). The Concise Oxford Dictionary still cites “duck’s egg” as an alternative version of the term.

Wtf would you bring up bradman? Whether he got out for a duck or not has nothing to do with how good or shit renshaw is.
My 10year old nephew scored 12 on the weekend.. by your reasoning, he’s better than bradman…

If one of the new batsmen settle in quickly and make significant scores against Pakistan it will be as much as we can hope for imo.

Good to see Lyon back in the wickets column. He bowled much better after he got that first wicket. He needs to slow down and throw it up more instead of just bowling darts.
