TROSaracen Dec 2021 8:50am, 16 Dec 2021 24,444 posts	0 TROSaracen Parking the bus cricket in a must win game. The game we targeted, almost forfeited the Gabba for. As someone pointed out, if the plan was cash in with the pink ball under lights our current over rate denies us 7-8 overs with the second new cherry tonight. We are the stupidest team in cricket.

Again, we need a spinner, the 5 overs from Root aren't going to materially alter the over rate when we've five seamers trundling through the majority of overs

In short, tomorrow will be the worst day to be in the field, doubly so watching the test, and series slide away. If they put 450+ up and have us in for 60-70 mins at the end of the day, they'll run through us.
