1st Test Border Gavaskar Trophy November 22-26 1350hrs @ Perth Stadium

[spike101]

Test match cricket is different to Shield cricket though, there is a lot more riding on test matches with field and bowling changes.

I would rather see 82 quality test match overs then see test players rushing through to bowl 90/100 overs with Marnus bowling.

A lot of time is wasted by fielding, throwing to the w/k who then throws it to mid off/on who throws it to the bowler who returns it to the fielder to shine it who ….throw it to the fielders at the bowling end 90% of the time if no run out possibility and speed things up.

This game is well over mate we'll struggle to get 250

Forget the runs, just need to bat a day and a half for a draw.

The Aussies were about 7 overs short at tea.

Could be a double wammy of losing the test & losing WTC points for slow over rates

unless...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s not frequently I agree with you Lukey. But they put those pieces of wood at each end for a reason.

No issue starting with hard length or whatever you wish BUT when you see Bumrah bowling at the pegs and running through maybe an idea to try that. Drives me nuts our bowlers refuse to bowl at the stumps

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Almost rather keep Kholi out there he will bat for a milestone and waste time. Time is our friend here

200 or less more likely

 

[Moonwatcher]

Team needs more Redbacks

Even if they bat til lunch tomorrow, that's still enough time to take 10 wickets.

Yep India by plenty.Aussie heads have been down since tea ysrda.

 

[Plugger35]

Kohli making a sneaky good flat track fifty.

He is finding form, some danger signs here.

Either way I don't see them declaring until 15-20 min before lunch tomorrow.

The largest wastes of time are nothing to do with the fielding or batting sides.

Let’s look at how long we piss about with checking a four or six. And how long the DRS takes. And why the umpires actually allow runners with drinks to hold up play between overs. Etc, etc, etc

There are dozens of reasons why we can’t make 90 overs in Tests anywhere now. In my opinion the Administrators need to lead the charge here. Equip the Umpires to get rid of the drinks/gloves guys when it’s time to go. Killing the “runner” for an injured player was a backward step for me. It just encourages delay

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Man this is just a massive dour slog

I was just thinking this. I doubt Bumrah has the balls to declare if Kohli is within stiking distance of a century. Best not to get Kohli out here.

 

[Marshland]

Starc has bowled utter dross.

 

[Borisdog]

Either way I don't see them declaring until 15-20 min before lunch tomorrow.

Why would they indeed.

it seriously feels like they've been sucked into using the bounce. funnily enough we said the indian bowlers would be but they're using it properly, bowling fuller and still hitting top of off

 

[Bedi]

You'd never guess the curator was 27 years old after that ball

 

[Jimthegreat]

On the Shield front Jhye Richardson bowled one over, took 2/1 then dislocated his shoulder.

Morris has a wicket already too with South Aus 3/18.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Surely it's time to bring Marnus into the attack

 

[Balls In]

This is the worst days cricket I've ever seen live. Even the Indian fans are leaving.

Richardson did his shoulder in that game before he bowled a hat trick ball.

Yea that won't happen.
