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

[Moonwatcher]

Didn't leave India enough of a carrot here. Ridiculous batting into today. Cowards

Could have easily had India 2 or 3 down. Have just been unlucky.

 

[Bucking Beads]

India have played very conservatively but they have the ability to score quickly later in the day. How Lyon bowls is incredibly important.

 

[catstorm]

Shine off the new ball. India's for the taking here.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Doesn’t look to me like they have any interest in it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

77 overs is a long time.

Not sure if it was the first or second time that Melb Victory were playing a home match in Geelong and those in charge completely ****ed up - 35c+ day & the crowd easily at 50% capacity and they'd only opened 2 food & drink outlets

They very quickly ran out of cold drinks (especially water), so at halftime the line at the servo just half a block away was massive and pretty sure they sold out of cold drinks that could be taken back into the stadium

It’s 90 mins!!!

. Australians on the other hand are generally a lot more sedate and don’t display their emotions in the same manner.

Dad says emotions are for girls

 

[Bungeye]

Cummins bowling back of a length on a pitch that is not conducive for outside edges.

 

[Pistol Night]

I know. Id probably call 000 or something for a box

 

[JuniorWatch]

Can we get Khawaja in the comm box when he retires?
Probs too intelligent

 

[grumbleguts]

There is a huge gap between Bumrah and every other quick in the world.

I wonder why.

 

[Antzzz]

Generally when you use the word scrambling it indicates panic, w***er

Back peddled quickly ...realised he might cop backlash from the MCG

 

[Cainozz]

I think India will just bat sensibly and perhaps assess their position at tea. If they have Pant, Jadeja still to come then they could potentially treat the last session like a T20 innings.

 

[Bob Neil]

Doesn’t look to me like they have any interest in it.

Their first job was not lose - protecting wickets in the first thirty overs with the new ball was the way. They’re doing that well and giving themselves every chance to step up the rate later as we tire. Lyon is so critical now.

 

[RoughysMullet]

He's bowling injured and has beaten the bat about ten times wtf are you on about?

Not challenging the batsmen enough from what I’ve seen Boland doing a much better job

 

[Gough]

Nothing like the Anglo stiff upper lip.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Nick one ffs…. Or bowl to hit the stumps like Bumrah and Siraj did!

Can these Kent's just snick one what the actual ****

 

[dumb]

India not in a hurry, still over 300 away. Wouldn't be the worst thing to try some part time long-hops.

Try an underarm to see how they take it?

 

[Magma]

feel like we need one of those starc swinging yorkers to get a wicket and get us going a bit

 

[Stopher]

Could have easily had India 2 or 3 down. Have just been unlucky.

More lucky than Australia?

This situation is begging for a Steve Smith half tracker.
