Might be the end for haze for a while out of the mcg test can’t play him in Sydney and don’t need him in Sri Lanka

Put him in cotton wool until the ashes next year for me

Issue is. Hazlewood will want to play at his home test. Friends and family will be in attendance. So there will be pressure on the selectors to pick him

The early stages of Old Man injury.

Gonna be honest, I'm always fascinated by how commentators are confused by <muscle> awareness. Like, I was never close to being much of an athlete but I was experiencing a fair bit of quad awareness at the gym this evening and decided that was probably enough leg extensions for me!

Someone please shoot that prick with the drum !!

 

[Bedi]

I hate Jadeja. He kills us every time with the bat.

mainly in India though. He's no Laxman.

Do we want to win or play players who are not fit ?

He can be with his family in the stands for the SCG test

If he's done his calf and I don't buy 'soreness' he won't be any hope on earth

Yup done for me for the series

We’re on the top tier and he’s virtually right below us. Now he starts up again ffs.

And England fall agonisingly 424 runs short of an famous victory.

And won the series 2-1 away from home.

 

[Kid A]

If we can dismiss India by this afternoon for under 245 then we can roll them tomorrow - it's 50/50 depending on the weather but a good chance of a win.

If India makes the follow on total then they may as well make 500. It will prevent Australia from having any chance of winning the test because it's not like the Aussies can pile on 100 runs then send India back in with a target of 300 and 65 overs left on the final day. Too risky.

 

[Swanny69]

I don’t get why they don’t innovate in cricket when it comes to wet weather. Start days play much earlier, have a 6th day as reserve if you have a washout, even play at a backup stadium under a roof if the weather is bad. Sure it will cost money but will it cost a days lost ticket and TV revenue ? Not sure

Don’t hold your breath .. instead we have Tubby, Vaughan and various other professors of unintended consequences wanting to bring tests back to 4 days..

Shit !.....it's bad enough on the TV ...I feel for ya

15 wickets 1.5 days remaining plus rain .. going to be hard

That depends is Smith planning on catching sodas? Can't see us winning unless they are rolled before tea

 

[Plugger35]

The Indian batting line up looks much stronger with Jadeja in the middle order, surprised he was left out of the first two tests.

 

[hawkman]

Hazlewood has been described as having "calf awareness" whatever the f*** that means.

Awareness means they are giving him every chance for Boxing Day

 

[Swanny69]

Hazlewood more like Balsawood

Harsh but funny..

 

[PhatBoy]

Vaughan - well basically all these commentators - talk about Jadeja like he’s just a hacker who goes out at 7 and throws the bat.
‘Always worth bringing the field up to see if he can help himself while Lyon’s bowling.’

He has a strike rate in the mid 50s. Aside from his silly little sword celebration there’s nothing cavalier about his batting, generally.

New ball pitch though. Running through them this morning was important. Smith drop set the tone early, first ball wicket of Rahul and they crumble imo. Probably would’ve won it before stumps today.

 

[Westend]

He’s not bowling this test atm he won’t play the next one

 

[grumbleguts]

TBF to India, they've had to bat under vastly different conditions to Australia's innings. There hasn't been a ridiculous irrational hysterical appeal ever second ball. Must be difficult.

 

[Swanny69]

Coming out nicely for Gaz

 

[the_interloper]

Coming out nicely for Gaz

I think he's got a good record there from memory

 

[Some Idiot]

Trust Jadeja to spoil the Aussie party.
Rahul deserves a ton, but hopefully we run through the rest of them

His 2nd best Australian venue
