The curator has killed cricket for me.

Yes.

You need to put your pads back on Aussie, I hear you were a champion.

Could not bat for schit. (My shame is that I am probably one of very few who were bowled by Kim far king Hughes who tossed down 'off spin' meat pies.) I had other endearing qualities.

An all rounder then, or a mascot!

Aussie was a champion cricket player and that's not all -

also a champion at: boxing, swimming, golf & rugby.

How many times must you be corrected Bobby? No, to boxing, "rugby" and golf.

Dear Aussie,
so you were only a champion at cricket & swimming?

You have missed quite a few sports Bobby, but Ima not gonna feed the doxxers any more.

This Australian team is the worst I can ever remember

They are a total embarrassment. I sat watching them totally capitulate to India in the fourth test yesterday afternoon day 2 at Sydney

Another declaration by India with almost 700 runs on the board and 4 wickets still in hand

How long has it been since the Aussies actually bowled India out?

Perhaps the Aussies could get a couple of A grade cricketers in to help clean up the tail

Can't bat can't bowl

Never truer than when applied this this pathetic team

no pet... its about the NAME DROPPING....

he doesnt claim to be better than Kim Hughes....just that hes been in his presence....breathing in the same air..

as for the swimming prowess thats a new one on me...there are of course many great Qld swimmers he has probably done laps with..

Just bat the opposition out of any chance of a win, and take the series 2/1 with one draw, or perhaps a 3/1. Australia cannot win this Test, and that is why India batted and batted.....to ensure we never get a chance to win and level the series.

This will be their first test series win in Australia.

Shame.

Never give a sucker an even chance.

No team in any sport gives up an advantage so the other team can have a chance to win.

How many times has Australia scored 600+ in the first innings to close the game against a win by the opposition?

Australia has scored 600+ 31 times in tests. India is second with 23 600+ innings.

West Indies third with 20 and England 4th with 19.

SriLanka has the highest score with 952/6.

Yes - this team is dismal, but they still have a way to go before being as bad as the Kim Hughes to Border era.

The Captain (Payne) Conference showed a Captain who couldn't talk properly. With "Um" being his every 4th word.
He showed a face that was like a grimace like he hated Cricket, but loved the money.

I think its time we have a complete and utter SELECTOR OVERHAUL! It's been them - since they chose Clarke over Katich (the more traditional 'follower' of Waugh/Taylor) and the rot began to set in.

We need to turf the Selectors out.
