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

[Gibbke]

You know what this is reminding me of? The BD test in 1983, when Border and Thommo put on a last wicket partnership that nearly won the match. Cummins is better than Thommo, and Labuschagne has made a couple of decent innings this summer, but like Border the knives have been out and right now these guys are our last hope to make this a victory. Labuschagne has been lucky, and scratched around, like Border did all those years ago, but the key point is he's still there and not afraid to block the next six overs if he needs to...still a day and a half left...

Did JL really just say up until this series Marsh had been like Travis Head.

Lack of criticism of Aussie batter dismissal’s from Fox commentators disappointing

 

[Around the Wicket]

It’s the attitude that the team and anyone who has been around it exudes that I’m just sick of. We can all see it yet they keep trying to justify keeping their mates in the team. Langer even referenced Marsh being great mates with Cummins.

It’s always been a boys club.

Nothing like the present Aussie team to disprove that!

Thought they’d spring Bumrah before tea. Holding off for the main assault straight after I guess

Border was way out of form and was given plenty of singles and slowly worked his way back into form. Went on to score much more I think in that series as well

It's hilarious, but confusing to me whenever I read people speaking to players as though 1) they're reading what you write, and 2) they give a shit what you think.

Some people incredibly still thing mainstream news is the real news LOL it flows down to sport - they are told what they can and cannot say as part of their contract - follow the script

 

[hawkman]

India should have bowled Akash for 1 ball got Marnus off strike then have him walk off to get Bumrah at Cummins

His brother run him out when he was on 99 and his brother was running for him.

The next session decides the series.

If we bat for at least 20 overs of it, we’re on top.

 

[BGman]

240 lead. This pair doing the job for Aussies to post a defendable total.

Marnus back in form.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Langer saying thats how he wants to see him play his cricket.

I'm so glad we got rid of a hard arse coach in Langer for this soft, pat them on the head, everything will be ok little buddy type bullshit coach. Can't remember a bigger bunch of soft ***** playing for the Australian squad in my lifetime.

We lost twice to India in home Series under Langer. You memory is at the goldfish level.
