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

Not a chance Pant is going to block this out.

 

[Nuggetz]

Pitch with a bit of variable bounce

Yep, reckon it'll stay lower as the ball gets softer.

 

[Plugger35]

Will be fascinating to see what approach Pant takes here. Think attack is the only way he knows

It usually is but he played quite a patient disciplined innings to win that test at the Gabba a few years ago.

I don't think a win is possible for India now though unless Pant and Jaiswal really cut loose in this session.

 

[Pistol Night]

The power of Mitch Marsh.

How many push ups can Mitch Marsh do? All of them

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Don't think Boland is a great matchup for these two

 

[Pistol Night]

Not a chance Pant is going to block this out.

Hes going to put his big boy Pant on

 

[RAPPA]

Jaiswal owes them around 70 runs for his dropped catches

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I'm staggered pant has gone out. Maybe they are going to block it only when he gets out.

 

[Nuggetz]

The crowd is awesome, great atmosphere. Both sets of fans going nuts when their team does something positive. This could be one of the greatest tests of all time. Drama everyday, gripping contest between bat v ball.

 

[serial_thrilla]

You could even say brave

Stunning.

 

[Nuggetz]

Jaiswal owes them around 70 runs for his dropped catches

He scored 80 in the 1st innings, had a shocking day in the field which happens to all players.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Why did they play starc when he is clearly this cooked. If the fast bowlers won't accept a rotation policy sack them.

This is why we need a stronger coach Ronnie is too close to the players.

Ok have you been hanging with Marnus at lunch?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Why the **** did he pop that? What a moron. Good job putting garbage everywhere.

 

[Nuggetz]

Pant has experience batting in a similar situation in Australia, has a great 4th innings avg too. Just needs to keep calm.

The last porridge was too hot and now this one is too cold. Just tell Punter hes doing it

 

[serial_thrilla]

Boland releasing all the pressure Marsh built. Bring back Bison!!

Well, they are the same selectors who is still picking Marsh.

Fml how do they keep jobs.

He's going at 1 an over

The selectors probably select the selectors

Surely you jest yes?

Presumably he felt fine. Then started bowling and his back went a bit. Not sure every injury is avoidable. Maybe if Hazlewood was fit, Starc may have been rested. But it’s understandable for us to not want to go to our fifth string fast bowler

 

[PhatBoy]

How come no one has done what?



How long ago it happened is irrelevant to the point I was making.




Yet another straw man. I never said hyper extension is not allowed by the current rules. Below is a picture of Bumrah with hyper extension sitting at somewhere between 30 and 35 degrees. Bumrah's delivery in the photo is fine if by the time he releases the ball there hasn't been a reduction in this hyperextension - a change in angle of 15 degrees or more prior to the release point. They have to determine that using biometric analysis and they can't do that during games.

So you think they should add a new rule altogether for bowlers whose arm is so straight that it’s actually bent BACKWARDS and then goes forwards as part of a natural return to its normal position? (And haven’t even provided any evidence that he does that anyway - he’s about the let the ball go in a frame or two in that photo so not sure what we are supposed to see between now and then)

Seems like you’re completely ignoring what the entire rule was invented for in the first place: bowlers who have a bent arm like a pitcher or, as the name suggests, an outfield thrower, who straighten the arm on release, and trying to find a hole somewhere that doesn’t exist.

As Bumrah himself does with the ball right a his incredible wrist position and unnatural hypertension allows him to send down another missile: let it go
