4th test Australia v India at the Gabba 1030 AEDT

[to1994]

They must really not rate Green if Starc is getting a bowl over him. Poor guy.

 

[imagifED]

Sadistic side of me wants India to chase this down. Batting, bowling, selection, ruthlessness, scheduling, etc. Everything poor.

 

[Some Idiot]

Pant signalling his intent

 

[Marmozet]

Simple game plan. Pant goes for it and Pujara holds the other end up.

 

[Doashuey]

Why would you bring this muppet back on. Sit him on the pine and let Abbott take the field. Just a dumb bowler, would rather Green bowl tbh and he hasnt got a test wicket.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Tim CamPAINEr !!

 

[Jimthegreat]

Stop bowling into the pitch Starc. Get it up the to reverse.

 

[ABAB]

33% of the run 1/6 of the overs.

 

[eddiesmith]

Abbott on, who’s off?

 

[grumbleguts]

He revived Lyons career. Went from looking like being dropped when Wade was gloveman to becoming a very very very good bowler over a 2 year period.

Hahahaha! *GOLD*

Stop it my stomach hurts.

 

[Chuckie357]

Just turned on the tv for the first time in the test match, surely mr proactiv’s career is donneeeeeee?

 

[RAPPA]

Even Pujara gets a run off Starc. They are all over him.

 

[ptrg]

Drop Starc from starting 11 in SA if we go. Needs fire and passion, of which he has none this series.
Going through the motions again today.

like a footballer who needs a good rocket up them, send him back to the magoos and tell him to harden the f up.

 

[melanChronic]

And cue Paine losing the plot when a bit of heat comes into the game.

 

[Coasters7]

Starc needs to bring his ODI bowling to Pant. Forget line and length. Get them at his toes

 

[CricketingErrors]

India is going at 7 an over. Pant has really changed this batting line up

 

[k31th]

Starc comes on... immediately concededs 8 runs haha I guess that's better than the 20 from earlier...

 

[RAPPA]

Starc would be a terrible plumber - leaks runs.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Why would you bowl Starc? Seriously Paine.

 

[Smeg Head]

Id rather bowl Wade than Starc at this point.

 

[Donakebab]

And cue Paine losing the plot when a bit of heat comes into the game.

Hopefully he says something completely inappropriate to add to the case to get rid of him.

 

[Kuuz]

Half of me hopes we lose this match just to force a clear out before the next Ashes (I don't want us to lose, but I feel like a win will allow complacency to persist in our match selection panel).

On our current ability, we just do not have enough quality for consistent performances. I'd like to see us rotate out the following just to see if we can get some more young blood in / see if other players can stand up:

- Jhye Richardson for Starc
- Mitch Swepson for Lyon
- Matt Renshaw / Alex Carey (or even Pierson or Inglis) for Wade

The Australian selection committee have been way to dependent on 30+ year olds rather than developing youngsters in the squad. We need to try and get youth into this team a bit, as giving Wade 30+ matches does nothing when he's already in the age of decline.

We again appear to be getting punished by a lack of a long-term coherent selection strategy. Compare that to England who realised they had a dearth of talent, so are blooding a bunch of boys in the hopes they strike gold a few times.

 

[Redline]

Good on India and you have to play your natural game but this isn't all bad for Australia. I don't think they can chase it down so it might just open the door.

 

[srobbo]

Starc just donating runs. Get him off Paine ffs.

 

[CricketingErrors]

119 in 28 overs. Aus under pressure
