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

[Pistol Night]

Langers commentary makes his batting look dynamic

Imagine the conversations Langer and Haydos would have had in the middle. How the **** they made any runs is amazing

 

[Around the Wicket]

Of course he'd say that because he knows the selectors wont drop him like Warner.

I wouldn’t say the spinners are banging the door down in Shield land.

 

[danielnajdek]

He definitely has a nack or not finding the man when playing a false shot

I feel like it will even out during his career.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Boland will get Jaiswal and Pant before stumps.

Even though Cummins has got the 2 wickets, Boland has looked by far the most dangerous bowler, and most likely to achieve a break through.

Edit: Good, he’s back on. Hopefully he can knock at least 1 of these 2 over.

 

[ABAB]

Marsh is bowling 125km lol.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Going to be a tough one to win unless Lyon can get himself into the series

 

[Plugger35]

Is it time to call this pitch a road yet?

None of the bowlers are looking threatening apart from Cummins who has the ability to take a wicket on the flattest of pitches.

 

[Xtreme]

Give Konstas a bowl and watch ch7 fawn over him more

 

[danielnajdek]

Marsh is bowling 125km lol.

Powder puffs.

 

[Marshland]

No reason to panic yet. They are miles behind. Get a couple of wickets and they are in deep shit.

Exactly. Kids these days.

Always add 20 runs and 2 wickets to the score.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I feel like it will even out during his career.

No doubt happened to Labs

 

[Marshland]

Does anybody else feel the team management wanted to have a look at both McSweeney and Konstas before Sri Lanka, with Khawaja expected to call time after the next test?

 

[Around the Wicket]

Give Konstas a bowl and watch ch7 fawn over him more

What’s he bowl

 

[SSwans2011]

Only stats, not game situations.
Lyon has played in 61 matches bowling in the 4th innings.

38 victories, taken 94 wickets at 23. ~20 overs per innings
11 losses, taken 12 wickets at 42, ~10 overs per innings
12 draws, taken 13 wickets at 42.~20 overs per innings

Yeah, he produces the goods more often than not and he's been particularly good the last few years.

I would still strongly consider giving Murphy a crack in Sydney, just for something different. Indian batters clearly seem to have Lyon's number in Aus.

 

[Coasters7]

Snooze fest for the rest of the match. Shit MCG wicket is back

 

[nobbyiscool]

Watching test cricket among the T20 generation is infuriating.

The pitch is fine, the match is well poised. Jaiswal in particular is batting really well.

One describing vanilla ice cream, the other talking about Jesus.

Nope. Khawaja wants to go until next Ashes. Konstas just failed to score in the A games at the pivotal time or he was in.

 

[Plugger35]

The bowlers may as well be bowling that beach ball now.

 

[Pistol Night]

One describing vanilla ice cream, the other talking about Jesus.

One way to not get nervous I guess

 

[StillAtLarge]

How long til Head gets a trundle

 

[Around the Wicket]

Snooze fest for the rest of the match. Shit MCG wicket is back

This could easily turn into a spinners paradise don’t right it off Day 2

 

[Xtreme]

What’s he bowl

We'll find out but he couldn't possibly be worse than Marsh

 

[TigerCraig]

What’s he bowl

Offies

An exceptional talent.
