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

They need to bring back the hotspot, it would have been clear as day.

Hotspot isn’t as reliable as real time Snicko plus it’s ultra expensive and it’s unrealistic for smaller nations to afford the 200k per test or whatever it is per test to run it.

20 years ago they'd add convicts. Good times.

I saw a bit of that too.

At this point, if I ever run into Gambhir's wife, I will try everything to get into her pants.

People like gambhir should commit suicide instead of atul subash.”

 

[Pistol Night]

There's a bit of blaming the third umpire, and claiming that he cheated as he's from Bangladesh.

Also, a few posters are calling Rohit Sharma 'fatso'. And demanding that he retire.

So a hero’s welcome at the airport upon returning home is looking less likely?

 

[Lunchtime]

it does Jim but really losing 7 wickets in less than a sess with still 15 overs to go.....thats village stuff that you see down at 7th grade suburban turf

I'll take it ....loving it ...but really honestly india F**ked that up big time ...I thought it would be a draw as I reckon 90 percent of us thought

Yep India self destructed.

 

[Silver Tongue]

Cheaters, sandpaper, racists, bad winners etc etc

Magnificent! It's like there is no such thing as corruption in the IPL ...

Cheaters = no more than India
Sandpaper = Yep
Racists = Some in Australia are as racist as some Indians.
Bad winners = Yep!!

Winners win and losers can please themselves.

Trying to get into a players wife’s pants that’s pissed you off is a strategy that seems well out of my reach but I like ambition

 

[nobbyiscool]

Australia's superior catching probably the difference.

I think it ultimately came down to which batter made the most idiotic decision at the worst time.

That's kind of what defined the game - a bunch of batters getting out to a rubbish shots and a couple of star innings from the few guys that actually put some value on their wicket.

And it's what decided the game when Pant didn't put any value on his. I was listening to ABC on the radio, Sunny Gavaskar lost his mind, and rightfully so.

 

[TigerCraig]

Everytime someone on here went for a shit we got a wicket. We should of got MOTM

I actually had to deal with a client and the 4th, 5th and 6th fell

 

[philreich]

I'm still chuckling at the suggestion that this Test was nothing more than a cripple fight LOL.

Always knew Wayne Carey was an India supporter. Must be the blue and white.
They did kind of lolnorf it up today.

There's a word for good losers- losers

Rohit shudma has always had a fat face but he wasn’t as fat as he is now earlier in his career. He’s done an Angelo Mathews in reverse.

 

[cats_09]

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

At least he's our little campaigner

I'm sure things will calm down in time, but I love the energy he bought to the match - that sort of thing can be infectious and put some pep in the step of teammates

Looking forward to seeing what happens in Sydney

 

[mumblingpie]

So snicko didn’t pick it up because it was glove or is it just not very reliable?

 

[Neese]

Australia's superior catching probably the difference.

And reviewing Joel's howlers.

I thought a draw was most likely, but the pitch was getting harder to bat on, and tail Enders just trying to survive can often lead to disaster. Honestly, I thought India were very lucky to only be 3 down at lunch, and absolutely flat out jammy to make it to tea 3 down. You can ride your luck, but eventually it deserts everyone.

 

[Woody15]

I think it rolled off the splice near the “G” on his bat sticker. You can see it on slow motion side on. Only explanation I can think of for not registering on snicko. A flick of a glove or edge will make a noise that would be picked up.

 

[GreekLunatic]

I reckon sunny would have throttled pant and called him stupid

 

[Bungeye]

I call bs, you don't have any mates

I'm mates with everyone...expect blues supporters.

 

[sabso]

Everyone knows the layer of Vaseline doesn’t count as part of the bat

Sunny was right, it was an optical illyusion

 

[Outtatym]

I reckon sunny would have throttled pant and called him stupid

Pant may have eaten him. Life goes on

 

[two blue tiger]

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

Ultra Plonker Marsh goes - surely.........

 

[Pistol Night]

I reckon sunny would have throttled pant and called him stupid

Getting bashed by a 75yo would cap off the day nicely

 

[cats_09]

They need to bring back the hotspot, it would have been clear as day.

It was mentioned during the Perth or Adelaide test that both countries had agreed to not use hotspot this series due to its unreliability & cost - that discussion came up after another DRS situation where commentators thought it may have had a role to play if available

 

[dogs105]

Any news about a replacement for Inglis yet?
