Watching second match

gee zampa is impressive. His 1st class average is a surprise

zampa again

I'm surprised he hasn't been given a go in tests in spite of his 1st class average

starc looking a little flat that spell till that last ball

wish he had one more ball. You can often get a batsmen with a yorker or length ball after they have been hit

you have to ask the question about the development of our leggies

here is zampa with nice flight and variation and reasonable control and he only has 22 first class games by 24 with an average of 50

captains in australia need to show leggies more love. They are match winners when they mature and worth the persistence

Zampa was dominating indian and now sri lankan batsmen who are masters of spin. Not even warne could consistently get on top of them

zampas variations are very well disguised and he has great flight

I would like to see him vary his point of delivery more. Bowl a few more bowls with his arm above the stumps

I would like to see him pitch it on middle and leg a bit more often in these conditions drag it across the batter.

dropped catch by zampa...keep your head up

these modern bats are unfair
you shouldnt be able to top edge a bowler for 6

fully and he is handy with the blade too i hear

meanwhile where is maxwell

how do you lose 6 tosses in a row! pretty darn unlucky!
1 in 64 chance

We have had incredibly bad luck with tosses when touring!

amazing lost 7 tosses in a row

odds of losing 7 tosses in a row is 1 in 128!

our last two away ashes and this series in sri lanka the luck with tosses has been abismal :(

Just saw Warner's comments, what a dunce. 

what did he say?

lets hope we win the first toss of the series today

Anybody know what has happened to the football section of this forum?

I can't access it, despite links from previous posts.

It always reverts back to this general sports section, not the  442 football section of Inside Sport.

I think there is some maintenance going on

DAB

Australia lose 8 tosses in a row

unbelievable luck odds are 1 in 256!

Basically after watching England make 400 hundred odd the other day coming out and playing on that pitch isn't good for the game as it's not entertaining enough for the crowds and doesn't suit the Australian way. 

Bailey is an outstanding captain.

One of the best state captains in the  history of Oz cricket. The lift he gives to the Tasmanian team when captain is astonishing.


In terms of leadership and player management, not necessarily as a  tactician, Bailey is head and shoulders above any other current Australian player in any format of the game. His interpersonal skills and ability get on with other players is peerless, whilst providing leadership at the same time. He is also very articulate. The national team selectors are well aware of how integral he has been to Tasmanian success.
