Bay 13 has got a few beers down them, found their voice

Who was complaining about the Aussie crowd earlier

 

[Whiskers]

If Cummo had a natural hyper extension he would be the better bowler.
I think it would be pretty easy for most bowlers to cause as much damage as Bumrah with the hyper extension advantage.

 

[Alfonz]

The commentators continually bang on about how good Rahul he is, but an average of 34 (worst of the Indian top 7) suggests a very ordinary player at Test level.

 

[Golumless]

Don't use Marsh at all today. Workhorses Lyon and Boland, with Starc and Cummins bowling in tandem as often as possible while giving them shorter spells and Head providing chopout.

I think you have to use Marsh for 4-5 overs at some point when India are in control. Otherwise, you're going to risk burning out Starc or Cummins today.

Which is what happened in Brisbane where Cummins put up a 9 over spell to let India past the follow-on.

 

[Grumpyshades]

cmon boys lets give it to this sook

 

[Saint12]

Harsha upset that they boo Kohli..
.they can cheer or boo whoever they want

 

[tugga]

Why the **** does fox fly Michael Vaughan out for an Aus vs India series?

 

[Outtatym]

not liking carey at the stumps he is going to nick one not lbw the way he plays

More likely to knick off with the keeper up than walking down the pitch as he has been

 

[MJG14]

The beers and the wickets have made Bay 13 louder, up and about now

 

[Pistol Night]

Bay 13 has got a few beers down them, found their voice

You cant just cheer madly without some throat lubrication. These guys are professionals

 

[ioppolo]

Seems to turn up against Australia, probably spuds it up against everyone else.

 

[Gethelred]

I think you have to use Marsh for 4-5 overs at some point when India are in control. Otherwise, you're going to risk burning out Starc or Cummins today.

Give those overs to Boland, and swap him out for Hazlewood or a genuine bolter next test.

If it's going to get rained out, it's almost a free hit.

 

[hawkman]

Do any of these Fox commentators actually know where Bay 13 is?

 

[ABAB]

The commentators continually bang on about how good Rahul he is, but an average of 34 (worst of the Indian top 7) suggests a very ordinary player at Test level.

His batting has been on an uptrend this series.

Harsha upset that they boo Kohli..
.they can cheer or boo whoever they want

But Indian fans are allowed to do whatever they want?

 

[DaRick]

Why the **** does fox fly Michael Vaughan out for an Aus vs India series?

FTFY.

 

[TigerCraig]

Why the **** does fox fly Michael Vaughan out for an Aus vs India series?

At least Isa looks good

 

[Anzacpaul]

This just in - Aussies boo flogs.

You'd think they'd never seen a game in Australia before.

 

[Outtatym]

Why the **** does fox fly Michael Vaughan out for an Aus vs India series?

The same reason they would have had Ian Smith out here if NZ weren't playing

 

[NSWCROW]

That length all day Pat !

 

[Gethelred]

Kohli is squaring riiiiight up.

 

[k31th]

Do any of these Fox commentators actually know where Bay 13 is?

it's metaphorical anyway; even if the crowd isn't in that specific bay, it's the history of where the crowd is the loudest.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Harsha upset that they boo Kohli..
.they can cheer or boo whoever they want

In general I'm against booing but given the hip and shoulder it's all part of the theatre for this match.

 

[Golumless]

Give those overs to Boland, and swap him out for Hazlewood or a genuine bolter next test.

If it's going to get rained out, it's almost a free hit.

Boland is also going to pick up 15 odd today.

Unless MMarsh gets a 2-4, he's probably gone, but equally I'm quite happy for MMarsh to get another match in Sydney if he gets wickets here. I'm happy winning, I'm not too fussed who wins it.
