bacon saving

Critics,

Kind of the captains to allow the match to drift along for just as long as it took for MJ Clarke to score his 12th test century.
Could go on & on & on about how Pup is the best thing since bottled scotch, but suffice to say here that he’s the sort of leader of men that you’d want in a fighting rearguard action, when the prospect of defeat would have represented nothing less than unmitigated disaster.
Sensibly took his time to do some serious bacon saving for the 10 other players in the side.
On song with 14 spanking boundaries; never mind that he was all over the shop like a mad woman’s breakfast, offering at least five chances!
Appears you get whatever gong they hand out as the man-of-the-match award these days for nothing going to hand.
Best on ground should have gone to Rain.
Worst on ground, by the length of the street, quietly presented to Rudi, who’s well overdue for a gold watch.
But that’s all history now, with Leeds the undoubted tipping point regards the ultimate fate of the Silly Little Urn this time around.
Seeing that the Chairman and the Three Wise Men have kept their thinking caps firmly under lock and key for the entirety of the tour so far, it’s time to smash the locks and plonk the headwear firmly on the selectors heads, while beating some sense into them with a couple of souvenir stumps.
Even Blindman Bucknor could see the current eleven can’t win it.
Young PJ Hughes to be reinstated to the top order, for mine, with FIGJAM Watson shuffled down the order to five; Mighty MEK to be relegated to 12th man duties [Sorry, Mr. Cricket. The magic has gone for the time being] and MJ Clarke to bat at four.
Manoosh, the better keeper of the two, retains his spot.
Clark No-E comes into the attack at the expense of Killer SIDS, and Bing Lee [regardless of fitness] replaces Joke Johnson.
Straya desperately needs NSW to open the bowling, as they’d be gilt-edged guaranteed to take more than half the 20 wickets needed to win a test match.
Don’t want to keep the cigar in the humidor for much longer.
