Was Joel Wilson wearing sunglasses or is he legally blind?

I think Pant should be given votes in the Allan Border Medal for his get out shot today .

I would have walked straight to the bar after that shot if I was Pant. Dressing room would have been off its nut.

Is Hazelwood available for Sydney? Or are we a chance of Bolland/Abott?

Boland. Haze out.

Gavaskar, like most of the other Indians, simply do not know the rules with respect to DRS. These clowns need to read up and learn about the hierarchy that exists in what is taken into consideration during a review.

You could point them to Simon Taufal's explanation at the time however they'd say he's another cheating australian etc.

Gough I think this deserves certified legendary thread status.

 

[Pistol Night]

His late outswing was a thing of beauty.

I remember watching highlights when he first burst on the scene thinking “How the **** does anyone hit something that quick with that much movement”

I hope Konstas quietly laughs in Kohli's face

I did get a laugh - after the Bumrah wicket, Konstas turned to the crowd with a repeat of the celebration that we saw from Bumrah upon getting the youngsters wicket yesterday

 

[Doggy]

Let's hope Starc overcomes his niggles...so that he can throw pies and match his career average of 44 at the SCG.

I'm 92. I didn't really start appreciating test cricket until 06

Good innings mate.

 

[RAPPA]

all the talk about Mitch Marsh’s place in the side - imagine having a plonker puffer captain that can’t reach double figures with the bat

The top 5 topics trending on X are cricket related.

The 6th is the passing of Jimmy Carter.

And you still support st Kilda. Well done you.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Are they quick change like a cap or does he need a procedure?

May require a fitting and some new staples.

He's a little campaigner. So long as he backs it up with runs

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Sunil at the moment

Haha, that reminds me of Robert Walls going off at Bret Thornton for giving away a 50 in a close match.

Wonderful opening batsman

 

[cats_09]

Double edged sword if we do win this.
It means marsh will play in Sydney.

I feel the opposite - winning today can make it easier to make that change

We saw how a debutant have a spark on Boxing Day, so why not see what happens in Sydney

His record at the MCG is poor as well but bowl very well in the 2nd innings.

Well it was a legendary Test match - full marks to both teams.

Fly him over and everything and get him a table with Sunny

Bumrah has 30 wickets this series
The captain has 31 runs

I love how we are all at each other’s throats during footy season, yet this thread has united us all.

 

[DaRick]

90 runs, 6 wickets, good bowling changes and fields, backed in his players to dig in at crucial stages each innings, lead a team that never gave up.

Yep let's just change his nickname to "Lucky" and be done with it.

His bowling changes during the Reddy/Washington partnership were at times wrongheaded, and I thought that he was a bit too defensive for most of the day.

But he's always used Travis Head well - he knew that Pant would likely try something against him.

And after Pant went all Pants-on-Head stupid, he went in for the kill and set much more aggressive fields.
