3rd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 14-18 1050hrs @ The Gabba

[LukeParkerno1]

Smith was the one that found form and Carey to a lesser extent. Mcsweeney Labaschagne Khawaja and Marsh all in grave danger or should be of missing next test.
I'd bring in Konstas for 1 and possibly Webster at a minimum

Konstas isn’t ready yet. Even in the last Shield game he should have made 150 plus not 80 odd. He’s a talent but we don’t need to rush him. He’ll benefit having 10 plus more Shield games. Webster is no better than Marsh anyway one or the other but Marsh was good in Perth.

Also, to backup my point yesterday about the petty pathetic Indians yesterday when Smith and Head finally were dismissed, half the poms side just then shook Willimson’s hand as he departed there.

Who cares I’m sure they had a drink with them after play

 

[Lunchtime]

Clearly all you have to do as a batsman is refuse to take strike if there’s any moisture in the air, and the umpires must then take everyone off

Read the Laws of Cricket.

Rain like this always reminds me of this innings from Greg Chappell in a one dayer in England in 1977.

Watch from 3:33 onwards.

 

[Grumpyshades]

this is frustrating to say the least

 

[ptrg]

Ground’s ready, rain’s stopped, deemed playable, been off for more than 20mins, but nope, it’s tea time now.

Back on at 2:30pm

 

[NYRB]

Play to resume in Brisbane at 2:30PM on Day 3

 

[ptrg]

Read the Laws of Cricket.

Read them to me.

Also, to backup my point yesterday about the petty pathetic Indians yesterday when Smith and Head finally were dismissed, half the poms side just then shook Willimson’s hand as he departed there.

So the other half of them should be sent back to England before the conclusion of the game

Let's see if we can get more than 30 minutes of play before more rain comes along.

 

[peternorth]

Just claim being gorgeous or a cult haha

 

[Bedi]

the skipper strikes!

 

[Xtreme]

How good is it to see Kohli fail again.

Still more talent in his pinky finger than most Australian cricketers over the last 40 years!

 

[Plugger35]

Rohit isn't really the sort of batsman you want coming in for this situation especially in the form he is in.

 

[010203]

If ever Rohit needed to show he may still have something to offer as a batsman, this is it. I doubt it though.

 

[ptrg]

About to piss down...

 

[Grumpyshades]

bowled patty

 

[Golumless]

Rohit isn't really the sort of batsman you want coming in for this situation especially in the form he is in.

No, but the batsman you want nicked off when India were on 22

 

[Bedi]

it's going to be intriguing to see how Rohit goes. Still don't get why he's not opening

 

[NYRB]

Is the follow on target still has to be a 200 run lead in test cricket?

Cant see no reason for Australia wanting to bat if they have the choice to enforce the follow on with limited time /rain forecast.
