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

[Around the Wicket]

You're probably right. But it's Kohli's duty to honour the call.

I always go this, respect the call

BACK TO THE PAVILION YA BIG DICKHEAD

Why? Unless you're a short-sighted TV executive or an alcoholic who needs an thinly veiled excuse to drink for 5 days straight, why would it be in your interest to artificially make a game more boring so that it lasts longer?

Seems like ridiculous logic to me. Playing on roads may satisfy short-term TV imperatives, but it ultimately helps kill test cricket.

It's not a road

Bay 13 going wild, love to see it

And how many times in recent memory have 5 day tests that are not rain effected even happened?

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Wow. I tuned in at the right time after my covid nap. See ya, Virat. Great player, total plonker of a person.

 

[gordo2016]

He played and missed about 12 times and edged through slip about 5 times.

Not too many openers that don't play and miss a few times against top class bowlers. Looks like a fine young player to me, has all the shots and will be a gun for many years.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

**** off Kohli you pleb!

 

[Headless]

Ebb and flow of test cricket

Nothing better.

 

[Plugger35]

Kohli rattled from the run out, India imploding here.

Their best batsman Pant needs to rescue them again.

 

[Golumless]

That's a big 10 minutes from Australia there.

 

[HitTheNailOnTheHead]

3rd wicket will fall before India reach 150.

Damn! Missed it by 3 runs.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Yet Kohli makes it home if he runs

Yep it’s irrelevant

No he wouldn't have if Pat got a direct hit. He would've been out by metres. It was an awful call from Jaiswal.

Have you ever played the game?

 

[nobbyiscool]

I should follow this up by saying I agree with what you're saying. This Test is well poised and Jaiswal is awesome to watch. Just sick of the constant denigration of T20 cricket when it's not relevant on here. "T20 generation" is pretty pretentious phrasing IMO.

Still much prefer the real deal and I'll only watching T20s when the Heat are playing or the World Cup.

I don't know what else you call this complete impatience causing people to give up on a game because we went less than 2 hours on day 2 without a wicket.

 

[Duck Farmer]

On ya bike flog, soak up those boos!

They were saying Booland.

 

[BG32]

**** these clowns are kissed on the dick. Ump didn’t even wanna give him out

 

[SC_Power]

the key to the runout is you have a selfish prick who doesn't give a Toss about anyone but himself

Don’t let your personal judgement cloud the situation, a lot of batsmen wouldn’t have run that.

 

[Matera92]

Stick that up your arse Tony Greg!

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Surely Reddy or Sundar are a better watchman?

Reckon they have used Washington in the past. I’d rather have him as night watchman than batting at 9. He could go on and make a ton if he survived the night.

I like Reddy but think he is better playing a flamboyant style and wouldn’t be that keen on him doing the role. He’s good with the tail too

Footnote: Where are the 85000 people that Punter is talking about?
Looks barely half full

There was 78k there today so 165k in two days.

[fuic08]

I thought the ump thought it was out clearly and then raised the finger when Kohli didn't walk

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Boland to bowl Kohli

I was close

 

[sosos]

Yeah I agree. No way there was a run. Too risky. Everyone hating on Kohli. He was well within his rights to stay put.

You've never played the game?

 

[Golumless]

Surely Reddy or Sundar are a better watchman?

They need them to pad out their batting order.

 

[Joffaboy]

Stands his ground and then gets booed off for good measure

Was waiting for the decision from the umpires if it carried. That's fair enough.
