How would Labs be feeling as next in?

JL and Fleming on the call = time for kayo

 

[philreich]

Who said Test cricket was boring?

 

[jannissary]

i’m here for the lack of respect shown to bumrah, really works well to impact the mental element of the game

 

[peternorth]

we will die.

that shot was more conventional (leg bye)

You will die doing what you loved.

It's what the Poms did to Boland to put him off his line in the last Ashes.

Big time, I've been wondering if India are going to attempt the same thing over the next few days.

 

[Alfonz]

I wonder if coaching staff and captain were aware Konstas was going to bat this way. It’s entertaining after a fashion, but I’m a baby boomer and prefer a much more traditional approach to test match batting.

I'd say the whole team knew, or Khawaja would/should have told him to put the shot away after the first attempt.

Konstas was clueless in the first over, if he kept batting traditionally he would have been out by now for single figures.

Who let Fleming and his shit alliteration back in the commentary box

That’s “Fantastic Fleming”, please.

* chuckle *

 

[WeMissYouMarkCoughlan]

JL acting like if he was coach he wouldn’t have dragged Konstas off after the first ramp shot

Big time, I've been wondering if India are going to attempt the same thing over the next few days.

They already did it in the Adelaide Test match. Kontas is using it against Bumrah.

 

[The 747]

So he's forcing Bumrah to bowl full with ramp shots and charging Siraj to make him drop short.

Both bowlers were bowling hand grenades on a length.

 

[kenneje]

There's so much movement down the pitch and across the crease. Do we think it's a planned tactic to not let Bumrah settle?

 

[peternorth]

That outfield is a carpet

If this is Brisbane it starts raining

 

[Crankyhawk]

i don't know if the weather out there is different to where I am (just outside of sunbury) but it feels here cool and pleasant (mid 20s with a breeze is what it feels like) so wtf with this drinks break

 

[Jim Prideaux]

And highest opening partnership of the series. That is very telling.

Konstas has thrown them off their plan a bit. It might be weird to watch, but it’s better than what we’ve been doing.

 

[BGman]

Positive start by the kid.

Konstas has thrown them off their plan a bit.

Said his plan was to target Bumrah. Playing some audacious shots off him.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Everytime you hear Konstas is 19 years old, take a shot.

A ramp.
