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

[Bucking Beads]

We bat for minutes after tea and have an hour at them this afternoon. We’re gonna need to Accelerate the scoring a fair bit once we get the lead to 300 I reckon. 450 would be the total we want

 

[danielnajdek]

Is Copeland okay btw. I bet he was distraught when Konstas went out.

 

[eddiesmith]

Australian fans have not turned up today, but the Indians have. Feels like an India home game which makes Siraj’s shush gesture all the more silly

There were plenty of boos when he came on to bowl

 

[LukeParkerno1]

50 up yay

Has levels of OCD beyond all comprehension.

Both he and Marnus are definitely in the spectrum - they are signalling to no one

 

[Around the Wicket]

Has levels of OCD beyond all comprehension.

He is abit of a odd one

 

[Bungeye]

Is what made him a modern legend. He almost single handedly dug us out of hole after hole from about 2015-2019. Some said his 2019 Ashes were his greatest ever feat, eclipsing even The Don.

Yep, even this year against West Indies he was last man standing.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

And find ourselves 4-60 and be a real chance to lose? Nah.

We have seen the batting gets easier, and the bowlers will eventually tire. Put in the hard work now and get the rewards in the later overs.

Were 2 down already going at 2 runs an over, if we're 4 down before getting to a hundred what has it actually achieved?, like I said no wickets down right now we could go at 1 run an over for all I care as we would have plenty of batsmen to up the run rate when it's required.

This explains the spitting every 20-30 seconds.

I can't see the selectors wanting to go to Sri Lanka with two newbies opening. Have either McSweeney or Konstas played a match of any type on the subcontinent?

If Ussie doesn't go to Sri Lanka, I reckon there's a fair chance Head may open, like he did in India last year

He was not treated unfairly, he was dreadful and got dropped. Maybe maybe could have been given an extra test or two but really he was not made a scapegoat.

This also has nothing to do with me liking Usman, it is entirely on who we have to replace him. If i felt we had anyone who warranted that spot i would gladly make the move.

Nope he was treated unfairly 3 tests when the entire top order was in poor from he was made a scapegoat you cant convince me otherwise

and sydney along with the rest of the openers in the shield are options to replace ussie come Sri Lanka

Think those were mostly from the MCC members lol. They’re about the only Australian fans in the ground today.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Josh Inglis has a side strain and won't be in the squad for Sydney

 

[dumb]

it's like there's a silent agreement between teams that they won't do anything about over rates

 

[Cmarsh]

13 balls and Steve Smith needs new gloves, what a joke

During my local grade cricket days I literaly had the same pair of gloves for years.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Ball is doing plenty. Shows how piss poor Starc was yesterday with the 2nd new ball.

New ball! He was wasteful and poor in his opening spell outside one brilliant peach of a delivery in his first over.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I can't see the selectors wanting to go to Sri Lanka with two newbies opening. Have either McSweeney or Konstas played a match of any type on the subcontinent?

The selectors may prefer to use Head to open when the new ball is hard.

Obviously only an option in the sub continent.

better draft a NSW player into the squad

Well there goes the Marsh replacement.

We had a failing top 3 so one had to go, they backed the experience of Usman and Marnus and guess what... It was the right choice. The balance of Kontas and those 2 is much better.

Sydney showed no scoring shots in 3 tests.

You're being extremely kind.

I wore mine to dust. Hated having to get a new pair.

He fell of the reserves couch while waiting to see if he would be allowed to play cricket this summer.
