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

[Bedi]

Trav is the all rounder we've been looking for since Miller.

the new Dougie Walters!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Head bowls as much as our AR

 

[ioppolo]

Open like it's a T20. Khawaja and McSweeney will just bat for tea/early finish unfortunately.

 

[hawkman]

Head had more loop in one over than Lyon has the whole match. Amazing what you can get if you don't dart them in

 

[LukeParkerno1]

any point in chasing a win here or do we use this as batting practice?

I’d go the latter one we won’t rolling them in a session and half anyway. Maybe we dangle a carrot with 40 overs to go- let’s be real ball does squat after 40’overs anyway so if we haven’t rolled them by then we won’t win anyway

No he doesn't. He bowled 1 ball less

i wanna see them channel Jayasuriya/Kaluwitharana circa 1995

Oh sorry how can I forget that exertion of energy for Mitch lol

At 40 overs we won't be dangling a carrot as they would be chasing 320+

 

[Iceman!]

So we just agree that we were lied to by CA when they said Marsh was fully fit to bowl?

 

[Whiskers]

Surely….. SURELY at least one of Lyon/Marsh don’t play in Melbourne. Preferably both but they are actually fairly useless at this point.

 

[Gough]

Shit house time to bat, nothing really to gain in difficult conditions and plenty to lose.

 

[ioppolo]

Quickfire 150 then declare?

330 lead with 65 overs to bowl them out?

They were virtually the first pair to go apeshit consistently at the start of one dayers if I remember correctly

 

[dumb]

head very useful career figures for a part timer

the carrot has to be a target that can be achieved with 2's and singles at about 5-6 runs an over.

Cant really treat it as a one day , especially when you can stack all the fielders on the boundary.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Good work by Carey

Good luck opening like it's a T20 against Bumrah on a 5th day pitch, it will be hard enough just trying to survive against him.

 

[lmach]

Given the amount of play lost surely this changeover can be done in 5 mins? And why can't they start play at 9am instead when there was no rain?

About to start bucketing down here soon.

Yep only time i've seen Glenn McGrath with no answers. Got absolutely spanked

 

[k31th]

seriously? lightning is now stopping play...

It’s more like a day 3 and a half pitch with the rain but free I’d just bat for practice myself

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Always does

 

[Bedi]

first it's rain, then bad light, now lightning. F*** off Brisbane!

 

[JimmyBC]

Oh FFS!! LOL
