Certified Legendary Thread 4th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 26-30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[Struggle]

Probably because Konstas wanted to face the first ball

And a good leader would say no

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

This is trial by fire.

 

[k31th]

tons of movement from Bumrah... would be tough to face

 

[troybe]

Bumrah’s getting closer

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Khawaja really is annoying me why isn’t he facing

We would be 1/0 at this point.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Just have to see off Bumrahs first spell with minimal damage... Cmon

 

[Magma]

he has done well not to hit any of those

 

[CakeEater]

Konstas finding the difference between facing Thornton and Bumrah here

 

[JuniorWatch]

No one in the world is touching these deliveries

 

[madjoe]

i'l die by the sword harris should be opening and shielding the kids from failing at test level v the best bowler in the world hiding to nothing the gun is just to dam good

 

[Outtatym]

Sitting duck ATM

 

[JimmyBC]

Well he got through the first over it's a bit different to BBL eh lol

 

[peternorth]

For this series at least, he might make it back for other series, I can't see Bancroft ever playing for Australia again at his age.

in the sense of papers stamped however, not definite.

 

[Black Diamond]

Chuckers arms bend forward, not backwards

Stand side-on to a mirror and go through a bowling action deliberately throwing it. Your arm will bend like Bumrah's in those screen shots.

 

[Joffaboy]

he has done well not to hit any of those

TBH he got nowhere near any of them.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Stax on the mill]

Phew! Got through the first over, but could easily have nicked 2 or 3.

 

[peternorth]

No they haven’t. He’s the ideal Smith replacement which isn’t too long away if we are honest

hope so but you never know

 

[kenneje]

Genuinely not sure what batsmen currently going around would look good against that over. Bumrah is incredible.

 

[The 747]

Brilliant first over, 5 of 6 balls on off and shaping away. Good technique from the kid though.

 

[peternorth]

Great entertainment when bumrahs bowling

 

[Moonwatcher]

Khawaja really is annoying me why isn’t he facing

Konstas would have been given the choice.

 

[SC_Power]

Sitting duck ATM

If it were McSweeney playing that same first over, that’s exactly what we’d be hearing.

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol Khawaja.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Stand side-on to a mirror and go through a bowling action deliberately throwing it. Your arm will bend like Bumrah's in those screen shots.

No it won't, because only people with abnormal joints can bend their arms backwards at the elbow

He’d be lasting as long as the other openers and he is terrible in other facets (ie fielding)
