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

Any way we can smack Hazelwood over the head so we can use Boland as a concussion sub?...lol.

 

[BGman]

Redemption for Smudge with a classic one handed snaffle.

 

[Golumless]

Smith playing the long game there. Why take the simple one when I can get one on the highlight reel?

 

[Gethelred]

What a ****ing catch that was!

 

[TY24]

Any way we can smack Hazelwood over the head so we can use Boland as a concussion sub?...lol.

‘I mean, there’s no rule that says the concussion can’t be deliberate’

 

[Bedi]

Rahul again just can't manage to convert a strong start into a match winning score.

 

[TY24]

c. Smith b. Lyon, one of my favourite combinations

 

[Black Diamond]

Still leaning toward enforcing the follow-on. If it goes bad, just give bulk overs to Smith, Marnus and Head. Even Khawaja or McSweeney until the teams agree on a draw.

 

[AJ_2000]

Big wicket.... Only cause I fired up the coffee machine and could barely hear what was happening over the frother

 

[Gough]

Any way we can smack Hazelwood over the head so we can use Boland as a concussion sub?...lol.

Highlights the absurdity of the rule. It's absolutely right that concussion is taken deadly seriously but having a sub rule for one injury and not any others doesn't make sense.

 

[NYRB]

Right now its a genuine 50:50 if India avoid the follow on here, with 4 wickets in the shed. Reddy and Jadeja can bat, and one senses how Reddy has come out here, he isnt going to look to just block them.

 

[dumb]

Shame for Haze. Still taking wickets as an old man but falling apart.

 

[Black Diamond]

Unfortunately opens up to exploitation in a big way. Cannot agree.

 

[MJG14]

More tough runs from Rahul. Always seems to play good innings away from home.

Good to see him gone

 

[Whiskers]

Teams would take advantage of it as in faking injury.
Can’t happen.

Too easy to manipulate would be my guess

 

[mumblingpie]

What’s the follow on

 

[Gough]

Unfortunately opens up to exploitation in a big way. Cannot agree.

I'm more of the mind that if a player gets concussed it's treated like any other injury and it's just bad luck.

 

[NYRB]

What’s the follow on

246 runs

 

[k31th]

good fielding by Inglis

 

[TigerCraig]

What’s the follow on

Need 90 more

 

[Marshland]

What’s the follow on

Shouldn't bat again in any case IMO.

 

[NYRB]

Would Australia consider dangling the carrot to India , say a target of 320-350 , if they cant enforce the follow on? Your going to need at least a good 3 sessions to bowl a team out here. (85 overs minimum Id say)

It makes sense to come out and have a bit of a bash this evening, in the search for quick runs.

The thing with that scenario is , India to have the artillery to chase this down given their positive strokeplay.

 

[PhatBoy]

Rahul again just can't manage to convert a strong start into a match winning score.

lol, in fairness mate I think with the lack of support from his bowling brethren bar Jasprit and the rest of the top order, he’d have been pushing shit uphill to make it something that could win the game

Tend to agree, happens what once a year? Teams deal with a man down all the time.
