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

[Costanza_]

I don’t think there would be another Aussie cricketer that could die that would get as many tributes as Warnie.. they’ll be talking about him year in year out

If the tidal wave of commentary spunk over the last 48h is anything to go by, we could be hearing tributes to "that 60" a century after Konstas passes.

 

[Scorpus]

Starting back after the break with Mitch Marsh's military mediums is certainly a choice

 

[thistimeforsure]

Time for my greatest contribution to the game of cricket the ‘ [emoji6] bowler shuffle ‘ just bowl them after another mixes up the bowlers and ends …. quite often got a breakthrough even though the bowlers hated it

Not really I would argue his issues with alcohol let him down

Symonds played in the era where most sportsmen where expected to be mostly emotionless automatons, I think he's one of those guys that might have thrived in the modern atmosphere where players are allowed be themselves a lot more.

I would bowl Lyon or Trav
See if the batsman eyes light up
And play a bad shot before there eyes are in.

 

[tugga]

Marsh is starting

 

[Neese]

Marsh

 

[danielnajdek]

Is Pat throwing this test match.

 

[PhatBoy]

The Marsh cheer squad will find a reason to defend his ongoing selection …. however:

118km medium pace?

FFS.

Have no problem anyone ragging on him but there’s a test going on across the Indian Ocean being dominated by a guy bowling the same speed

 

[Borisdog]

And we open with Mitchell Marsh.

OK everyone, disregard any posts from me from now on.

I'm gunna start mainlining Tequila.

Surely you have your two best bowlers on after a break, not Mitch Marsh.

 

[hawkman]

Surely Boland gets the ball or do they not want him showing up the other pacemen?

 

[CakeEater]

This is where Webster would be handy

 

[FreoRicci]

Can't wait to see the selectors justifying why they picked an injured Marsh.

Like I said. Good. Vibes.

 

[eddiesmith]

85,000 yesterday on a work day was a magnificent effort.

Crowds definitely helped by starting on a Thursday and test looking to go 5 days.

 

[aabp1978]

what on earth is Pat doing here? They wasted the new ball, have let India well and truly back into this match and now starting after tea with our worst bowler.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Symonds played in the era where most sportsmen where expected to be mostly emotionless automatons, I think he's one of those guys that might have thrived in the modern atmosphere where players are allowed be themselves a lot more.

You reckon that’s modern?

I reckon Symonds thrives in the 80s/90s where they pissed it up in between Tests / of a night

Poor old Mitch, wins the AB medal and 80% of fans still thinks his shit

It’s like he has a set plan of who bowls what overs before the game starts and won’t deviate from it.

They are probably building a statue of Konstas outside the MCG as we speak in a reverse ramp pose as a tribute to that great 60.

 

[gtrxuone]

Hazlewood looks to be missed .When our attack is struggling for wickets.
Mitch bowling wide of the off stump.Testing the batsman patient's.Waiting for a mistake.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good that Starc had the tea break to warm up

 

[tugga]

So he opens up with the two worst bowlers in the side so far.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The SCG Test is predicted to be 5 straight days of sunshine so not all is lost

You forget one thing…

It’s the biggest road in Australia

Are you going to start dancing like Pee Wee Herman?
