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

[Stax on the mill]

You beauty! Ridiculous shot. Go Scotty!

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

How dumb

 

[Hawksboy72]

Charles in Charge strikes again...

On SM-S918B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Magma]

shortlist for top 3 dumbest wickets

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Absolutely awful. You have to take the good with the bad with him I suppose

 

[Crankyhawk]

Sunni losing the plot against Pant on ABC radio. Gave him a massive bake about the shot selection.

 

[Mister B]

Onya way trouser

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Pant what are you doing? That was so stupid

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

I mean thats just stupid

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Total dumbass Pant.

Caught Lyon bowled Boland.

The Old Firm.

And therein is the problem with shots like that - when they come off they look spectacular, when they don't they look flat out moronic - particularly given the state of the game.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Pant knocks it a metre wide of the pitch where there’s a short cover standing right in front of him and thinks there’s a single

There are people who think the non-striker should have run though, because it was in front of square and Pant called yes

Right?

 

[Coasters7]

Catching position for Pant.

Good call

 

[Some Idiot]

Really poor shot choice from Pant, looking like a flat track with plenty of runs put there for conventional batting

 

[ABAB]

Smack in the gut playing that shot and decide to do it again lol.

 

[RookiePick]

"gutsy shot" pretty droll for JL.

Rishab done us a solid here. Interesting that the deep 3rd man plan worked. Some good analysis by the Australians paying off!

 

[Struggle]

How's he going to look to his captain?

You mean the guy who has put 22 runs on the board the entire series?

 

[Cringle]

He really shouldn’t be batting at 5 if that’s how he’s going to go about an innings where you’re batting for time.

 

[JasRulz63]

Some interesting shot selection by Marsh, Rohit and Pant this match so far.

 

[Acinath]

He’s up there with one of the dumbest cricketers I’ve seen

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

wtf was that?
Something/someone must have got his head, with the pulling away followed by two of those.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We aren’t enforcing it anyway so what’s the difference

Time lost to rain is what worries me. Although if India keep batting stupidly it won't matter.

 

[Black Diamond]

Galaxy brain stuff from Pant.

Or in the alternative, just shows he has no fear and thought this was the best way to play the scenario.

 

[Borisdog]

Credit where it's due. That's a pretty good piece of field placement from Cummins. The whole field in general to Pant.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Compare that Lyon appeal to the ones the umps fired out at the end of the Aussie innings. I shake my head at how obvious the umpires made it that they wanted a change of innings.

All tailenders will attest that benefit of the doubt erodes as you go down the list
