I'm sad and I hate everything.

It's not even good cricket. It's slow, it's plodding, Australia has no plan to get either of these 2 out, and they're hoping for an act of God to rescue them.

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.

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

Man this is just a massive dour slog

 

[outabounds]

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

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.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

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

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.

Team needs more Redbacks

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

 

[JimmyBC]

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

Yea that won't happen.

Wa day is in June??

The concert and fun fair thing was rained out in June.

Declare after the great man gets his 1hundj.

You would probably be loving it if you were an Indian supporter with India grinding Australia into the dust, you can't win 'em all.

Poor Jhye, he genuinely can’t take a trick.

Good to see Lance going well again. I watched a couple of overs but didn’t see Jhye go down, but we looked good.

If you ever want to know the true state of a test match, it's watching the indian fans leaving the stadium whilst the king is batting and the team is in a dominating position .

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Starc tons up

 

[dumb]

This is the worst days cricket I've ever seen live.

there's always tomorrow

 

[troybe]

Funny how you can still see a faint outline of the 50 m arcs

 

[gordo2016]

Where is Isa? **** listening to Binga for five tests. Reckons Jaiswal is enjoying his cricket. He just made 160, what is there not to enjoy?

Richo just can’t take a break. Similar to Pattinson, so talented but can’t stay on the park.

Seems it mustn't be a dislocated shoulder as someone else said. I should check things out myself I suppose. Richo has 3/4 now.

Australia’s collapse was a sight,
Their dreams turned to dust in the fight.
Each wicket brought pain,
Hope circling the drain,
In the dark of a long, hopeless night.
