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

[Stax on the mill]

Indian openers have had a distracted preparation.

Forced them to go through a warm up and now slightly rushed prep for the opening batsmen. May not seem much but every mental advantage could be the difference

That could well be the case, but I would have liked Australia to have had the full complement of overs available to bowl at India. I thought 334 was a very challenging ask as it was. I’d hate India to be 9 for 278 when stumps are drawn tonight.

Part of me is surprised the BCCI has not leaned in the ICC to change where the WTC final is played.

England is obviously the most suitable country though.

 

[smasha]

Piss off Sunil.
C'mon Oz.

Bit of a maverick sharing the game plan to the opposition. Cmon Sammy

I hope he tells Patty

How many deep points have we started with?

Huge if true. Special comments man after he retires

We were never going to bowl the full overs today

 

[Bungeye]

His back injury might make him accidentally put the right spots lol.

The right spots for the batsmen...

Bold strategy, let's hope it comes off for them

12

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How many balls out of Starc's first 2 overs will be on the stumps?

 

[smasha]

Two wide ones.

 

[JasRulz63]

C'mon Jaiswal, make Rohit run a few quick singles...you saw how he behaved yesterday.

Jeez that's unplayable.

 

[troybe]

For a fast bowler Starc has good pace

 

[hawkman]

Sam Konstas said "we need to get them all out"

Probably should be captain with that kind of tactical genius

 

[smasha]

That's better.

 

[k31th]

peach

 

[dumb]

94 overs by my maths. 14 overs with a new ball. But less given our over rate. May see our best ever over rate today.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

India in the box seat but hopefully we can snatch a win or draw

 

[Pistol Night]

C'mon Jaiswal, make Rohit run a few quick singles...you saw how he behaved yesterday.

As well as Arjuna used to

 

[Outtatym]

That's the one

 

[smasha]

For a fast bowler Starc has good pace

Is it dad joke day?

 

[smasha]

Indians will cheer a single like a 12.

 

[windyhill]

That was THE ball of the series.

Because of Captain Woke

He's so politically correct he has the letters PC embroidered on his shirt...
