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

[Silver Tongue]

Uh why?

Uh because we need to win this game.

Sydney will be a draw. Or their spinners will out spin our spinners

 

[Cleavy]

might want to see how the new ball behaves. if it's hard and not doing much, then throw the bat.

 

[Mr Meow]

That looked out to me, even Ponting thought that was worth a shout and he is very rarely wrong, ball tracking is cooked.

Yeah true, DRS should just be them calling you and asking how it looked live.

 

[Joffaboy]

Every single decision that’s not out he does this. It’s almost feels like over in India things are manipulated to suit his narrative

He is entitled, he gets what he wants because he is a top caste little prince.

Agree looks like a tactical error
Could have had Rohit back in the shed.

No I disagree, we have more than enough time to bowl them out and this last stand has all but taken the win off the table for India.

 

[Moonwatcher]

How many were India chasing at Madras in 1986?

348

 

[hoopla]

They’ve got the ball swinging and seaming. Hopefully the Aussies can do this too. May need some sandpaper

 

[Leap of Faith]

Brayshaw would definitely . It’s kind of a credit to him that he has got to 40 odd test matches.


The media , boys club is a big thing in Australian circles.

Jaysus. If ever there's been a more underachieving, disappointing player to have played the number of tests he has, I'd like to know who that is.

You think India can't chase 300 in a day?

Good luck surviving long enough to make that determination haha

 

[revo333]

Are all the media under instructions to suck off the Marsh family or something? No other player is getting spoken about this kindly in the history of test cricket

Hold his head high with a career batting average below 30.

How?

311 on an extended day isn't anything beyond reach.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Has a niggle.

Certainly, affected him this match. Reckon he won't play in Sydney.

 

[kickazz]

Maybe a dumb question but how much value is there in a quick look at the pitch tomorrow morning to assess how day 5 will play out?

Does overnight temperature or humidity do anything to it at all?

It's what happens to people who don't get told no

 

[10571z]

Why? I reckon if India bat the day the score 330-340 batting normally. So, Aus would not be gaining time to get them out, only making it easier to lose. edit : I get the two cracks with fresh bowlers thing, but imo that comes into play obnce you have enough to force the batting team to chase runs a bit rather than bat normally.

A draw is a win for them.

Chasing 300 at the MCG has happened once at that was in 1928. We should have tried to get a few tonight

 

[outabounds]

A few blokes could learn a bit about grit and determination from Scott Boland

Staggered we are not bowling now.

Staggered we weren't bowling half an hour ago.

 

[catstorm]

You think India can't chase 300 in a day?

I think on a 5th day pitch they will struggle mightily.

 

[Jimthegreat]

How?

311 on an extended day isn't anything beyond reach.

We'll be batting at lunch...haha.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Random question, cos I never take a radio to the footy - do I still need a radio in 2024/5? Or can you get pretty much synched commentary at the ground on your phone now?

 

[k31th]

should declare now so they can't bowl with the new ball

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

How?

311 on an extended day isn't anything beyond reach.

Tough if the Aussies are bowling defensive and go for the draw

 

[gtrxuone]

Given that every run is important for both sides.
New ball could have a few edges over the slips .

It was swinging a mile. It looked like it was missing live and on replay
