[Kane McGoodwin]

in fairness cummins holds his hand out and says no pretty early. what is starc looking at?

clearly not Cummins til too late!

Really did not need that.

 

[The Lobbster]

Imagine if they were chokers like we are.

Ah yes this Indian team famously does well in big games such as World Cup or test championship finals

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Starc should also have run in front of that.

 

[Joffaboy]

Wonder what Alyssia thinks of that runout.

Like to hear about it from Konstas brother.

I don't ever remember a time you can deliberately run between the throw and the stumps

 

[hawkman]

All Stark had to do was run straight down the middle of the pitch and Pant can't hit the stumps. Amateur stuff

You can't intentionally do that

 

[Dogsman16]

To be fair to Cummins on replay Starc isn’t making it to the keepers end.

 

[Chism]

Imagine if our blokes carried on like this ****wit kohli does?

Or went to town on supporters in the stands in Mumbai or shoulder charged a another player? Etc etc???


India are the protected species of international cricket. ICC will never upset them.

 

[cats_09]

All Stark had to do was run straight down the middle of the pitch and Pant can't hit the stumps. Amateur stuff

And he'd be out for obstruction

 

[Pancakes]

If the cricket team is a microcosm of the country as a whole, my wish to never go there seems to be justified.

The people on a whole are more or less ok, some massive flogs but no worse than most people.
But the country itself is a massive shithole, especially in the cities. Smog, rubbish and stepping over human shit every two steps.

Outside of the cities it is nice, but no nicer than almost every other country, but the cities are actual shitholes.

 

[Borisdog]

Seriously how dumb are we? We’ve turned into chokers.

We panic when under pressure with the bat far too often.

And we're badly lead when under pressure with the ball. In fact often when we're not even under pressure.

We go alright when it's 50mph downhill.

 

[revo333]

Commentators not bringing up the issue wit indian bowlers leaving the field every 5 minutes

Because every international test team does it.

 

[tugga]

They behave like a bunch of entitled pricks.

It’s only Kohli and Siraj.
The rest are fine.
Always the idiot minority.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

You can't intentionally do that

You are allowed to get in the way of the ball.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Ah yes this Indian team famously does well in big games such as World Cup or test championship finals

And yet just get to stump up and rub their shit in our face every series in Australia.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Terrible running. Need the pitch to deteriorate overnight to have a real chance

 

[Xtreme]

Illegal bent elbow action helps.

Hey the ICC changed the rules for him though so all good!

Same rhetoric on multiple Australian based cricket forums. If it was an illegal action he would be bowling.

 

[Iceman!]

We have a mental block against this team in tests like other Countries do against us… our complete inability to put them away has been such a reoccurring issue for us against them.

 

[hawkman]

To be fair to Cummins on replay Starc isn’t making it to the keepers end.

Just have no idea what Starc was thinking

 

[Outtatym]

Illegal bent elbow action helps.

Hey the ICC changed the rules for him though so all good!

When did this happen?

 

[Saint12]

Because every international test team does it.

Wrong

 

[tugga]

All Stark had to do was run straight down the middle of the pitch and Pant can't hit the stumps. Amateur stuff

Obstructing the field.

 

[Torz]

You are allowed to get in the way of the ball.

Only if you don’t deliberately deviate from your original line to block the stumps.

The brother of the guy that made 8 runs?

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Would love to hear why?

The team has a bad habit of choking. Get into winning positions then can't bowl out the tail, then the batsmen collapse.
