No excuses . Really couldn't be set up any better for a play off run Home game v rookie QB ( who is decent ) Rested players this week or limited reps rather than stat padding Should be pretty healthy Can't wait for next week 🙂

I watched him in the shield game at the MCG at the start of season Had heard about him so fudged some fake apps in my calendar and went for a look 😉 Short answer no . It was evident that he had some technique flaws straight away. Fair bit of bottom hand and his front foot planting pointed to...

I wonder where the flashpoint will be for him ?

Everything . It shifted their focus from being solely on winning the game to possible ' getting one back at that arrogant annoying Aussie ' . India are an emotive team, once Kohli shoulder bumped him , Bumrah then out of character is riled up the rest followed along to get at him. You can't...

I would be looking at the impact he had without using stats and instead the eye test Kohli bumps him India mock his arm waving geeing up the crowd gestures - they practically never do this with anyone else Bumrah is geed up by him - again have never seen him like this Bumrah again seems...

I'm no fan of SG but that's a poor decision not to have him part of the presentation Would have love watching him hand over the trophy with gritted teeth

What a great series . Think I'll be having some decent test cricket withdrawals over the next few days . Bumrah is a legend of the game and a generational star . Possible the best pace bowling display I have seen . Boland was his 'boring' brilliant self. Lose Hazlewood and you gain Boland ...

Confirmed Boland is Kholi's father 🙂

If the chase is around 200 we will need either Khawaja/Labs to make a score and anchor the innings home

I like Bharat as he will call it as he sees it rather then deflecting to the India side of the argument. Might be only a matter of time until he gets the tap on the shoulder from the BCCI though .

Kholi didn't like the slo-mo vision of Konstas running between the wickets ??

It's the sign of a great series though 👍

Fraser-Mcgurk did not move his feet or transfer his weight once during that innings . Just swiping at everything , hits a huge 6 in the slot but misses about 8 . Looked like they had sent a tail end hitter in .

We played Rodney Hogg when he was 42 . Could absolutely bowl rockets for 5-6 overs then bowl very sharp seamers . Siddle is a pro so not too much surprise he is still doing that at his age .

Goes without saying , this is a huge partnership. Webster looks very solid . Batting on the bowling friendly Bellerive over the years looks to have him ready for this challenge. He can make a name for himself here. We need 50 from these 2 I feel

India laughing through the stumps mics Might not be so funny if he keeps doing this for another hour

Deck is a bit quicker then yesterday . Will be very nice to bat on post Lunch .

Excellent, how much is it going for ?? His selection was on form but his batting against Bumrah was tactical . Is that better ?

I've seen him bat live twice ( the one game ) , no he wasn't like what he has shown at Test level . I know a few people who have crossed paths with him and I would say their impression of him again is very different to what people are seeing . I think we need to keep in mind his selection was...

Talking about Kohli . Think your talking about Konstas , but yes I think a few of us that had viewed him in shield had noted some technique flaws. A lot easier now to get through the system on a good eye , reflexes and all striking rather then a tried and true sustainable technique.

His ego won't let him either . I think that's his biggest issue

Interestingly Shastri thinks its a few technique issues he can iron out and he can play for another few years . I'm not so sure on that . All teams know how to bowl to him and I didn't think he ego can handle putting his shots away .

That was for a religious festival not at Symonds remember 🙄

It's been a brilliant series . People I know who have shown minimal interest in cricket are talking about it and watching it again It's great for the game especially with a home ashes here next year

Totally different instances tbh . One you have two players/participants involved , like yesterday . It's on field during the game . Yes the day is over but it's still game on. The other one is a coach/official instigating something with opposition player/players after the game has finished ...

Ginniven is actually a premiership player so probably not the best example

I think the 1st hour will be tricky, as it should and after that it will be a very good batting deck first a few days .

You do that when the ball is getting big on you because you arent in position quick enough to get forward/back using the crease . At his age its a sign that the end is near or here already

Is doing to most bowlers now. No footwork, caught on crease and gets chest on . He is done and has been for a while . Somebody needs to give him a tap on the shoulder, not sure who would though .

It is actually . They were insulted that a debutant would bat that way against their champion bowler. They saw it as disrespectful . Hence Kholi's reaction to it all when it went from a laugh to , gee this kids actually making runs . Konstas is typical of your young elite sportsman . They...
