[Plugger35]

That was Mitch Marsh like from Cummins.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Dammit

 

[danielnajdek]

That turned

There's hope for Lyon

Lyon wont turn a ball. I always get my hopes up when I see the pitch turning and he comes on and it spins a cm.

 

[Iceman!]

Great knock from the skipper, gives us something to defend!

 

[tugga]

Haha Jaedja teasingly threatens to concede the 4 to get Cummins off strike

Law 19.7. Overthrow or wilful act of fielder
If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder the runs scored shall be
(i) any runs for penalties awarded to either side
and (ii) the allowance for the boundary
and (iii) the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Good knock, Pat. Pity your batters couldn’t show a fraction of your gumption.

 

[Roosurgence]

Time to Ton Up Scotty!

 

[Speck]

Scotty B 50 time

 

[catstorm]

**** me every time I start to feel a little better

 

[Chism]

Throw the bat Scotty!

 

[Anzacpaul]

Cmon Scotty get us to 300

 

[Black Diamond]

I wonder if what Jadeja just did should be a 5-run penalty?

You are not allowed to fox that way in the field.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I’d still have Australia pretty comfortable favourites here, would take a special innings from both Kohli and Jaiswal to chase this down on the last day.

Wouldn't say comfortable.

Pant & Reddy go ok too.

 

[Nelso]

That turned

There's hope for Lyon

Jadeja did not bowl a dart for that wicket though.

 

[MarcusP2]

Lapse of judgement there after a pretty good innings.

 

[hawkman]

Cummins wouldn't have seen that in the nets before. Facing a ball that spun

 

[Crankyhawk]

sloggy time. no point blocking and bunting.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

According to the gnome Alfie, “Mitch offers sooo much more to the side than his batting and bowling”.

Can he still provide those things without being in the XI?

 

[Jimthegreat]

Unless we let Pant go berserk I think we have enough as their batting is as bad as ours. They too relied non their latter order bats to get them out of strife. Much harder under pressure in the 4th innings.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Absolute joke he's still in the team. Now has a series average of 10.7 and that includes a 47 in one innings. His 6 other innings have produced an average of 4.5.
Bowling wise has bowled 30 overs for 3 wickets. Compelling evidence that he must be dropped.

I thought he was finally done 10 years ago.

 

[The hands of stone]

Would be great if these two can eek another dozen to get the lead too 290

 

[Doggy]

That was Mitch Marsh like from Cummins.

In the way that Marsh scored runs?

Nuffie comment

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

A quick 20 and get at them tonight.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Well bowled from Jadeja but a very good knock from Cummins to give Australia a fighting chance. Ideally we'd need a minimum of 300 but given where we were at when Cummins got to the crease where 250+ was a bit of a pipe dream you'd take that.

 

[Coasters7]

I like seeing Cummins carve Bumrah through the off side for four... but it makes me think we need more than 270

Yeah bit of a double edged sword. The more runs our tail makes, the less confident I am in any score under 350-400. Either that or Cummins is currently playing one of the all time knocks.
