4th test Australia v India at the Gabba 1030 AEDT

[GCS in 11]

Paine just can’t be stubborn here and leave Starc on, get Marnus on for 3 overs before the new ball instead surely

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Why do every other countries bowlers get the ball to do far more than our one dimensional bowlers? We need to start bending the elbow or something.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Labs.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

I’d start going defensive soon. 7 wickets in 27 overs is a steep ask

Starc off thank the lord

 

[k31th]

Starc only given 1 over haha if his confidence wasn't shot, it will be now.

 

[Woody15]

Lol. Starc one and done.

Says it all.

 

[Harris Specter]

Starc taken off the attack after 1 over.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Starc is easily the most overrated red ball cricketer in the world.

 

[GCS in 11]

Thank god for that

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yep, Paine had no choice but to try Marnus for a couple. Leaving Starc on was a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[footyfan1978]

Agreed, Good try.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Finally we bring on a spinner

 

[tombomb]

I remember a test in the 2000s in the sub continent on some dead wicket, where suddenly Shane Watson started reverse swinging the ball and looked really dangerous, and then Ponting took him off and bowled part time spinners to improve the over-rate.

At the time I thought that was the worst captaincy I have ever seen.

But Paine's cumulative decision making over the past couple of tests (especially) are worse. He is completely clueless.

46 runs partnership. India keep exposing Aus every day

 

[Pistol Night]

Ive never seen such ****n piss weak back to back Day 5 efforts. Australia are as soft as a boiled turd

 

[PhatBoy]

Patterson said that he felt he was never really accepted by the Windies establishment because he was brought in as a net bowler to King Viv and really put him through his paces and pissing him off by being better than he was 'supposed' to be. Was a real maverick so who knows if that's true though.

Was a very sad but interesting story a few years ago by an Indian journalist who tracked him down in Jamaica - he’s lived a very tough life since he left cricket

 

[Gough]

Bloody well done.

 

[Redline]

I feel Marnus could get a wicket here the way they are playing.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Starc is easily the most overrated red ball cricketer in the world.

Who rates him other than Alyssa Healy? Maybe my view is skewed by LukeParkerNo1 but I feel he is constantly abused for his redball inconsistency.

 

[Marshland]

Go Labs!

Learn your place, Starc.

 

[Kid A]

Showers about 10 mins away, this could get rained out unfortunately

 

[k31th]

Pujara to fifty after two swipes at Labs

 

[Jimthegreat]

50 to Pujara. Those bloody DRS rules.

 

[11kgm]

Starc/Lyon/Paine all should be on the block

 

[Westend]

game over india is going to win
