Yeah what was the point of Haze coming in just wasted another over

 

[HK_Hawk]

What was the point of all that? Ridiculous last hour

 

[Westend]

Nearly got my 450

 

[Carn The Berries]

If you are bored you don't have to watch. I hear the hit and giggle BB is back on, sounds like more your level.

Jesus... There is a middle ground you know... Can you please tell me what the benefit of Lyon's knock was?

 

[dogs105]

India need 246. Better start by bowling in good areas from the first over

 

[Joffaboy]

Great knock Australia. Firmly in the box seat.

[dumb]

does feel like a bit of a waste. you can demoralise a team by putting them to the sword by scoring runs and smacking them around. oh well.

Joffaboy I'm assuming all these other posters hate test cricket too? Or perhaps we have a point...

 

[Moonwatcher]

Decision to bowl is looking like an absolute shocker.

Does force Australia to declare early assuming there is no follow on.

would have been nice

You wouldn't understand. It's obvious you have little clue about test cricket, but I am enjoying your ignorance and tantrums. Carry on

Heavy now but should be short apparently

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why wouldn't all grounds have those hover craft pitch covers?

 

[the_interloper]

Alex Carey what a player, wish a few of our other players put a price on his wicket like he does.

 

[JimmyBC]

Someone better explain this batting to me and I hate watching us bowl...I'd get it if both were slogging but what's the point of this?

Is there anything you actually do like?

They aren't having tantrums and dismissing every other pov. They have a right to their opinions but they aren't having tantrums and getting angry and swearing at people.
I doubt you hate test cricket, you just don't understand it.
I would take a captain's opinion who has won a WTC a WC and retained the Ashes over some nuffie using a footy team nic superseded in 1977, is all.

Complaining on the internet appears to be one

One thing that doesn’t get mentioned when comparing over rates of today compared to past generations is the scoring rate.

It’s a lot easier to roll through the overs when 20-30 of them a day are maidens and the scoring rates were below 3 an over. When there are 50+ boundaries in an innings it changes that a lot.

Correct but there is much more to it as well.

Batsman changing gloves.
Batsman having drinks outside of drinks breaks.
Batsman putting gloves on and off between balls.
Batsman talking to each other while bowler is waiting.
Batsman asking for sitescreen changes
Concussion protocols
Boundary reviews
Wicket reviews
Fielding side getting ball back to the bowler
Fielding side changing and setting fields

The modern cricketers are time wasters under the disguise of tactics and safety. They have got away with it for so long that it has become acceptable.

I mean we could be in a desperate situation with openers and number 3 in the near future, I wonder if they'd ever put Carey up? Not idea of course given he keeps as well but there might not be any other options.

And no we're not moving Head from 5 pls.

 

[Plugger35]

It looks like it will be one of those annoying days where the players will be going on and off for showers all day.

Oh 100 per cent they don’t help themselves a single bit.

 

[largebus]

Gonna be stop start raining all day which is good for the Aussie bowling. They need to get them out today or early tomorrow for a result, with more rain on the way

 

[Neese]

Jesus... There is a middle ground you know... Can you please tell me what the benefit of Lyon's knock was?

The middle ground is one dayers.

I love the tests for the tactics, the flows and ebbs. The mental side is hugely important.

Commentators trying to reference the good drainage at The Gabba as much as possible in this match.
