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

[Bucking Beads]

With Jaiswal out there they’re still a chance

 

[the_interloper]

Great catch by Marsh, was very off balance but still nailed it, love his enthusiasm in the field given he’s probably getting dropped

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Did Cummins finally send Labs to the outfield to chirp from there?

 

[eddiesmith]

What are you talking about? you fit more overs in with spin, so they'll be getting more overs

plus its only a $10 entry today

Actually they don’t get anymore overs, all overs must be bowled on the last day, light permitting.

 

[hawkman]

Should be a short leg, leg slip and a silly mid off now. They aren't getting the runs so you can just attack

 

[RandB]

Get another fielder in

Bat pad, leg side

Should have done that as soon as Lyon came on tbh. Cummins just lacks that extra tactical nouse other skippers have had over the years. He doesn't get inside the heads of the opposition enough.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

With Pant gone, any thought of India going for a win is now off the table.

He also was always the one more likely to do something quite stupid indeed.
Not sure on Jaiswal, seems to have a clear enough mind to do it, and Jadeja may have enough old school to play out time and make sure the fielding team has to get him out.

 

[Marshland]

With Jaiswal out there they’re still a chance

Nitish Reddy and Washington Sunday still to come.

A chance for a draw though. A win is out of the question looking at the RRR.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Bring the field up

I mean we are always behind on the over rate and our cricketers DGAF about short changing their fans.

 

[Cmarsh]

Konstas does more annoying "oooooohhhhhh" reactions to batsman forward defensive shots than even Labs.

 

[Bungeye]

The MCG curator has done a wonderful job of guaranteeing a 5 day test match...let's hope Sydney is an absolute road as well.

Won't get them in if we bowl pace

Can't change to a pink ball for later in the day, when light goes then its done for the day

We should be producing a green top if this is a draw. Need to force a result.

 

[Borisdog]

Why aren't we crowding them around the bat now?

Within reason, but precisely.

Like who?

 

[ABAB]

1 more until the new ball and hope for a collapse in 10-15 overs.

 

[dumb]

get through the overs and they'll get more than the minimum 12 with a newer ball

 

[RandB]

We were beating the edge enough earlier (without getting the nicks) but a failure to get enough wickets in those phases drained the team.

If a couple more found the edge and Starc gets his LBW we'd have a game.

That's true but India sustained the pressure of line, length and pace well yesterday. Getting back to your point they were mentally pumped due to early wickets I guess.

That’s about 8:00 in Melbourne, think they’ll be fine

 

[k31th]

Both Marnus and Konstas under the lid in close...

Sounds like the crowd are having a ball. Indians a bit quieter, but despite their hysteria, they enjoy their cricket.

Oh God is Marnus

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

2nd slip for Lyon vs Jadeja too
