Can't see much benefit coming out of this WTC Final.

India basically look disinterested, earning too much IPL money I suspect and Test cricket looks like it's a burden for them, especially when things get tough. They'll still go hard if they get a roll on, but otherwise they look like they are half a step away from folding!

To make things worse, we are going hard and just exposing our tactics for the Poms to pick apart prior to the coming Ashes series.
Agree...India can't be bothered unless it's at home under their terms and conditions.
Got a few injuries and looks like a few personality clashes with Ashwin left out even though he has been one of the leading bowlers in test cricket.
Hope we keep flogging them and they get a warm spicy welcome at home from irate fans...the IPL is destroying test cricket and 
I don't have anytime for India and their dodgy practices with regard control over the world game.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 13 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon
Last post by LP -
The CheatsFC MC tactics if the lists hit the field as selected seem to be they are forcing us to run with Young on top of Pitto and TDK in the hope it leaves our sluggish midfield and defence unable to cover the ground to bottle up their runners.

The key for us comes from the other end, our small forwards, ignoring the lack of goals they either run deep and apply some defensive tackling pressure or we are going to get screwed over on the outside. There is no point our fans and coaches hoping the likes of Cripps, Cerra, Walsh, Kennedy, Ed and others suddenly become Usain Bolt, it ain't going to happen! We can't have Motlop, Durdin and Owies sitting inside F50 shivering!

If our SFs get up the field and force turnovers and / or crap rushed disposals by the CheatsFC runners, can we kick enough goals between BigH, Chalrie and SoJ to win the game?

Cripps, Cerra, Kennedy and Walsh have two options, they either setup defensively to stop the opposition getting clean fast break clearances, or they can suddenly become surgeons by foot and start picking out some targets forward of centre. It's one or the other or it's over for 2023!

Smart slow moving footballers should be emulating Diesel Williams, and be practising precision disposal from both sides of their body until their legs ache. No more slow movers who are one sided!

I'm also dead keen to see if Saad can overcome his issues to make a dent in the CheatsFC game plan, or if they also right-side him out of effective contention!
