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

[HK_Hawk]

Great away win for the Aussies. The home fans will be returning upset with a number of calls that favoured the visitors. Home town hero, Bumrah, couldn’t drag his team over the line despite an almighty effort.

 

[Alfonz]

Enhances my screen and watching super slo mo. No. Look at it unbiased and the test.
Look Jaiswal was stone dead lb earlier off starc in another ridiculous decision
But have consistent umpiring. No way you over turn that. Watched again no deflection you guys ate seeing things

How did you enhance your screen? I'd like to try this for myself so I can upgrade my TV.

 

[Run n Spread]

I'm not an Indian fan. I will superimpose the real off my computer for full transparency and watch again.

 

[Leap of Faith]

Explain the deflection please..

Yep exactly. Deflection as clear as day. Must have been an “optical illusion”.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Bruh, there was a deflection which is why Sunny said the deflection could be "deceiving" to the eye lol.

I'd love to know what Jaiswal said to Head before the decision came back. Head seemed even more confident he was out after that conversation.

 

[The hands of stone]

Gavaskar sooking it up about DRS

Stock standard then. Nothing's changed

 

[Rabish Binney]

Watching it now. What deflection? Maybe by 1 mm. Your eyes are playing tricks

You’re just taking the piss now

That sounds more complicated than DRS.

I think that was the funnest day I've ever had at the cricket - in Australia at least.

The whole thing was such a vibe... from them initially planning to open up a couple of gates this morning with some $10 tickets, you could tell it was big on social media. You could tell it was big as soon as you got to the train station. And then you get on a random train at 9.40am on NY Eve Eve when no one is working, and she's friggen packed.

You get to the MCG, and the whole ground feels a little bit like the MCC on Grand Final morning - people running to get great spots, seeing even the top tier swell in attendance, the crowd slowly growing during that first session to the announcement of the test match record just before lunch, and the Kohli wicket. It was high times going into lunch!

I made a poor decision to switch sides of the oval at lunch, which was about an hour too early. I've come home with a bit of heat exhaustion, but nothing too severe.

The sad thing was that, according to the radio, there were about 61k there at the tea break - I think a lot of people saw Marnus' over of wasteful bullshit the over before tea as Australia laying down our guns. I reckon 20k of them left at the tea break.

I'm glad I fought on, I'd had a feeling all day about this game, and I wasn't quite ready to give it up by the tea break - I was going to give it at least another half an hour. One of my better decisions made in recent times!

Outstanding day, capping off a bloody outstanding test match. Didn't quite end up being the two-way contest I went in hoping for, but I'm not disappointed, it was a phenomenal day.

What did you have for lunch?

Closed one eye.

Made the tv seem bigger.

 

[HK_Hawk]

I know Bumarah is great but Cummins for me is the best bowler since McGrath ahead of Steyn as well. Cummins is unreal

For a guy who bangs it in and doesn’t swing like an MJ or MS, he is awesome. Good call

 

[Leap of Faith]

It appears to graze the bat but no way you over turn it on that vision. And I'm biased against batsmen.
There was no deflection. Check your glasses or comment when sober.
Granted the whole match was riddled with bad decisions but to overturn that on day 5 was horse shit.

This is typical Indian behaviour, whether you’re Indian or not. Will claim black is white and self righteously and indignantly defend that position. Then play the victim on the back of it. Embarrassing.

Are you guys marnus Labaschagne with these opinions and appeals? **** me. Starc angled across there was no deflection a joke. You guys are on drugs

 

[1990crow]

And I'm biased

No Shit

 

[Jimthegreat]

Hes not. Unfortunately

Reading further, you're right.

Call Spec Savers tmw.

He told Head he didn't know.

You are a massive tripper dude.

Next you will be telling us N.Daicos is not terrified of physical contact.

 

[Leap of Faith]

He’s just trolling now

 

[Chism]

Send it to the ICC as well as i am sure they will overturn the result on behalf of your sensational findings.

You are about to change the cricket world on a footy forum!

 

[Donuts_]

I'd much rather see the name of either Tendulkar, Laxman or Dravid on the trophy than that embarrassment Gavaskar.

 

[Run n Spread]

Bad angle and super imposing again. Non conclusive shouldn't have been over turned.
Outrageous.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Took the ball when we needed, took the hard overs, and can we now call him an all-rounder?

He certainly bats much better than another supposed allrounder in the team.

 

[sabso]

Also can't hear as well. How he is an umpire in such a high profile Test is still beyond me after that shit non LBW decision in the Ashes.

Marais Erasmus was on the icc elite panel until very recently.
