Matt Renshaw just got a 7!

Run 3 and 4 overthrows? Only thing I could think would result in 7 that isn’t extras

You got it. I don't think I've ever actually seen it happen before.

 

[Sproj]

McSweeney is just a joy to watch, if he can start stringing back to back innings together, he'll be a long term test player.

Renshaw goes to tea 99*.

 

[Browny]

Tons up

 

[Sproj]

Renshaw gets his ton and I think he has made the selectors day as a result. I get the feeling they don't want to pick Harris as he has been found majorly wanting at test level and don't want to pick Bancroft for obvious reasons. I think Renshaw has given them exactly what they were hoping for.

So Harris will get picked then

Great catch!

Renshaw still in at the close of play... been a good knock by him.

Bancroft showing his weakness to LBW has not changed and Harris getting himself to 40 odd before hitting out to a nothing delivery like it's a T20.

Vs Renshaw who grafted out when the bowling was tough and has then cashed in.

Of course Warner will get picked anyway... because it's Pakistan and Windies... so who cares

After that it looks like we have the Kiwis in NZ... will the form continue to see him get picked for that series (another one away from home).

Not sure who we play in the 2024/25 home summer, but here's hoping Harris hasn't hit his typical early shield form on tiny Victorian ovals to get ahead again

In fairness, it wasn’t chanceless by Renshaw by any means. He got really lucky a few times and really should have been out if the Pakistan keeper realised his job is to take catches.

Cameron Green? That’s a lot of money on potential

Cameron Green? That’s a lot of money on potential

You have to remember there is a billion people over there the salary cap is not only massive but the return on investment off his marketability alone. He did get that after he opened in the t20 and smacked a very fast 50 in India as well. Of course nothing is there to suggest he is worth that much but are any of those 5? The big money makers are the marketable players in form.

This getting beyond a joke now:

Pucovski subbed out after latest head knock | cricket.com.au

Will Pucovski resumed batting, adding another 47 runs after suffering a head knock in a Second XI…

www.cricket.com.au

He came back and made more runs, but then subbed off from fielding.

Why does he not just duck every short ball? He clearly can’t play them

After getting hammered in his first innings Hartley bowls England to victory on debut with 7-62 in the second innings
