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

Who has played a undisciplined shot to go out

It's get out.

Smith - Really? WTF was that?

Head. Both feet off the ground, bat 2 feet in front of body, trying to force the ball to the legside with a packed legside field.

Marsh. You're 6'6" and you've played a deadbat shot to a ball that's 4 feet over the top of middle stump and feathered it to the keeper. Ever heard of dropping your hands Mitch?

Carey. Big forcing defensive shot, misses straight ball. Let's defend a bit tighter when we're 5 down and in trouble huh?

In reality I'd rate Konstas the same as Carey but I'll let him off due to inexperience.

Rohit's reaction after the drop was amusing...Done bugger all this series himself lol

[adogsfan5]

Shocking reaction from Rohit the second drop catch and Virat the first.
Selfish campaigners.

 

[Belnakor]

I said a 50% fit Head is better than McSweeney or Labuschagne, no he isn't.

Head is always vulnerable early that’s just how he plays. See the king pair he got last summer.

 

[Swanny69]

Been a problem with Australian bowling for a very long time.
Unless it's a new ball Aussie quicks don't get movement through the air, making large parts of the innings difficult to take wickets, especially if the spinner isn't turning it.

Yeah we rely on the shock value of the new ball swinging intermittently irrespective of seam quality.. and then reversing later on .. but in between we rely more on natural variation and bounce. To be fare its a rare skill to present a seam like Jasprit does with pace and accuracy and still bowl dry

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not everyone can contribute as much as Rohit

I haven't seen him that angry since Akash took the last dim sim at lunch

 

[eltrain]

Goes without saying but fk me we need to make them pay for that dropped catch

 

[ABAB]

That 8th wicket partnership yesterday that went for around 50 overs really knocked the stuffing out of us. The bowlers looked tired. I was exhausted watching from my lounge chair.

It changed the momentum and that has continued today.

We were 2/88......

 

[LukeParkerno1]

he must generally go ok if they put him in the main catching spots

We’ll we can’t talk we have Khawaja at first slip lol

 

[Belnakor]

Shocking reaction from Rohit the second drop catch and Virat the first.
Selfish campaigners.

Especially when virat is literally the worst catcher in cricket in terms of drops vs chances

 

[sherb]

How's the Indian reaction to the drop. Poor team support.

Who was that at first slip showing his displeasure? Not good, as you said.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I said a 50% fit Head is better than McSweeney or Labuschagne, no he isn't.

history shows Head won't do **** all now for about 5 Tests after the purple patch of form.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Jaiswal keeping us in this test with his fielding and running between wickets

 

[Snarls Barkley]

How's the Indian reaction to the drop. Poor team support.

It’s probably fine if it doesn’t go beyond that. No one means to drop catches but such a massive moment in the game, fair to release some frustration.

 

[Outtatym]

Not everyone can contribute as much as Rohit

Seems ominous he may come out and slay us with the bat tbh. Well and truely due

 

[troybe]

Those Bumrah figures are ridiculously good

The question is will Starc be fit enough to bowl in the 2nd innings

 

[sherb]

it was a sitter

So? You feel bad enough dropping them without your alleged team mates reacting like that.

 

[adogsfan5]

Especially when virat is literally the worst catcher in cricket in terms of drops vs chances

Gotta support your players, especially when young.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Its def Head that's let us down this series.

 

[Coasters7]

I could probably pay off my house betting on Starc to deliver a leg side pie the first ball of our bowling innings

Leg side pie first up, couple of gems in the middle to put us on top then he and Cummins will go to water with hip high and short bullshit to Pant, Reddy and Sundar to lose us the game late with the field spread on the boundary.

Take it to the bank.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Why are these commentators so oblivious to how bad we’ve been with the bat. They should be destroying our blokes but instead they’re blowing smoke up the Indians arses. We’ve become the simps of world cricket

 

[PhatBoy]

What did I tell you? PhatBoy

India has been dismissed for under 200 3 times already in this series. Truth be told there’s every chance Australia will still win yet, plus there’s still another 4 wickets to take. But point taken, they have crashed and burned pretty badly the last hour

 

[fuic08]

Seems ominous he may come out and slay us with the bat tbh. Well and truely due

Let's hope his current form continues

 

[eltrain]

Shit, Bumrah again
