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

[TigerCraig]

How about a short cover so they can't just lean and drop safely

 

[Underarm]

Bumrah could slog a few

Good. Put us out if our misery.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Dumb bowling ffs.

Reminds me of the Ashes 2019.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Maybe try dare I say it…

Marnus

They won’t live with themselves if they get out to him

 

[madjoe]

They have only bowled 14-15 overs each today

needing to bowl another 25 to 30 each in the next day n half? yeh na.

 

[Saint12]

Smith drops a lot of easy ones and then takes screamers it;s the way he's always been

The one bloke we couldn't afford to drop

100%....the spectacular ones are easy the sodas are dropped when the fielder is nervous and not so confident. Smith has dropped a lot of sodas over the last few years.

 

[Plugger35]

These two look better than Siraj, even if they don't make the follow on target they are soaking up time and tiring out the bowlers.

 

[NYRB]

There goes any chance of winning if they do and no we aren’t setting them 300 ish to win that would be trying to lose

How about 350 off 80 overs?

 

[Kappa]

I'm not sure how we can pick Hazlewood for test matches going forward, he's body is just so fragile and getting worse and worse. Can't have confidence that he'll last 5 days

 

[Marshland]

Get the spinners on. This ain't working.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Free run

 

[Coasters7]

best thing for the aussies is if india get to the follow on the quicks looked cooked

Best case scenario is we get this last wicket and they go off for the day so we start fresh tomorrow

 

[peternorth]

WHERES THE RAIN???

 

[Sqotty from office works]

It should be mandatory.

Bought this up last year as some Aussies clearly weren't using them.
I thought it was mandatory for our players

 

[Whiskers]

Going to be a bit tired with the new ball if we do enforce the follow on.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How about 350 off 80 overs?

Maybe but no way we’d get there that quickly

 

[Pistol Night]

100%....the spectacular ones are easy the sodas are dropped when the fielder is nervous and not so confident. Smith has dropped a lot of sodas over the last few years.

I remember Warney used to shell some absolute sodas (ask Damien Fleming) and take some that were absolutely flying. Always seemed weird to me to have one of the best bowlers in history fielding in the slips. Might have been more Warney's fitness levels dictating this though

 

[010203]

the start of his and Warnies fractured relationship

The feud between Warnie and Steve Waugh started in the West Indies in 1999.

 

[NYRB]

Maybe but no way we’d get there that quickly

Smack 150 off 20 overs seems pretty reasonable to me.

 

[Bedi]

FFS Get. Him. Out.

 

[Marshland]

Maybe but no way we’d get there that quickly

We have to dangle the carrot though.

 

[Bedi]

added to i should've said. And John Buchanan too, with Warnie cracking the shits because he said he was unfit. Didn't talk to him the entire tour

 

[TY24]

Starc and Cummins understandably look knackered.

 

[Golumless]

We have to dangle the carrot though.

Eh, this India team is pretty fragile. They could easily implode on themselves trying to save a game.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Hope the Smith drop doesn't bite us now.
