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

[Cleavy]

Copeland saying a rare dropped catch from Smith, surely he has watched enough cricket to know he drops them more than rarely.

ch7 commentators keeping up with recent events? as if!

 

[yabsy]

Or we'll peel off 3 quick wickets and it won't matter

Crossed 80 overs now, so it does matter

Doesn't really feel like there's a wicket coming here

it will feel like it when Boland comes on

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol complete comfort at the crease here

 

[Mr Meow]

Indias first time past 80 overs in 7 innings and a severely out of form Australian batting order making 470. Anyone still defending this pitch? Has basically zero wear halfway through day 3

Severely out of form? Which of our batsmen made runs that had failed all series, besides Khawaja (given Head went out for a duck, that cancelled Uzzie's knock out anyway)?

Australia struggle to bowl out the tail most innings, so I wouldn't read too much into this partnership.

 

[hawkman]

83 overs bowled.

Marsh had bowled 3.

Head is as much as an all rounder currently

Need to get Boland on

 

[Plugger35]

The Indian fans there are up and about now, you wouldn't think they were still 200 runs behind.

They have avoided the follow on though at least but I doubt it would have been enforced anyway.

 

[Mister B]

On day 1 I predicted Australia would blow their good start. I was wrong. Sadly the second part I said was we would have India on the ropes in their innings before letting their lower order score cheap runs. And here we are. Absolutely pathetic line and length at the moment with the new ball. Not only is it giving cheap runs but allowing the crowd in little mumbai to get up and about.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Where's the field placed. Runs are a bit too easy.

Sick of not getting Reddy out. Why don't we have someone under the lid if he struggles against the short ball. Not even trying to exploit that.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Not sure what they were discussing there.

 

[yabsy]

Feels like the Indian batting line up should be;

5. Reddy
6. Pant
7. Jadeja

To be fair these are like a number 6 and 7 batting together

 

[RoughysMullet]

Get Boland on

 

[Borisdog]

Ravi trying hard to get them off for bad light.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Starc deadset wasting the new ball.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Snooze till tea

See everyone then this is rubbish bowling

No sport does more to try and halt play due to less than perfect conditions.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Can Marsh jog any slower? Turns 1s into 2s and 2s into 3s.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Yes, these certainly aren't tailenders. Getting to many easy runs though. Starc has bowled shit.

Cya. Maybe stay with the hit n giggle nonsense with that 2 second attention span.

 

[danielnajdek]

We can never get the lower order out cheaply.

 

[philreich]

As bad as my “India bats Deep all the way to 11” jokes

Kudos.

Right up there with Skull's joke during the lunch break on day 1:

I told my wife to embrace her mistakes, so she hugged me.

 

[Cringle]

Get Boland on

Not until Starcs gifted another 30 runs!

 

[hawkman]

Ravi trying hard to get them off for bad light.

Think with the way they are playing the batsman are seeing them well

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

It's Boland time.
