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

[Jimthegreat]

Bumrah has taken 30 wickets at 12.85 across 4 tests (3.5 with the almost innings defeat in Adelaide).

He's single handedly kept them in this series, and they've been outplayed the last 3 tests. He'd get my man of the series vote.

I agree. The only thing that could challenge that is a Head double hundred in Sydney.

Anyone see or hear anything about this after the game with Konstas and Virat?

 

[Jimthegreat]

Astonishingly I just read a quote from Andrew McDonald about Marsh. “ Yeah he hasn’t scored the runs he would have liked but he’s up and about”. Which is code for he’ll keep his place. Not so astonishing really. Big fat boys club is much harder to get in than out of - especially when your name is Marsh.

McSweeney would be left completely wondering if Marsh isn't dropped. Be clear double standards.

Virat: you have to see it from my perspective, it was your fault.

 

[DaRick]

Any comment from the BCCI about Kohli's behaviour? No? Didn't think so. Any comment about Jaiswal's LBW? No? Didn't think so. Any comment that over 5 days Australia were the better team and won by a whopping 184 runs? No? Didn't think so. It's the kind of comment we've come to expect from BCCI.

Maybe McSweeny just needs to get "up and about" and hell have done enough to regain his place in the team. Marnus has certainly heard this and appears undroppable for years

Its going to be interesting and I think it comes down to the fitness of starc.

Previously we have gone in to the last test with our bowlers not 100% and we have struggled ....starc record in the the last tests of series fit/or not drops off thats a fact...are they going to roll the dice and risk that again??

Starc is obviously in some discomfort ....he requires a jab to get through...playing him is a risk if the selectors pick him. We took a risk with hazelwood and got burnt this series will they risk it again with a bowler not 100%

Unfortunately, the stupidity of our selectors knows no bounds.

Whatever was said, I'm happy to see Head standing close by to hear it all.

Mate all the quicks should be sore, it comes with the territory of being a quick bowler. If Starc says he is right then that should be the end of it.
This resting bowlers rubbish is just that, rubbish!!
Bowlers have some rest coming up. You need your best playing the big games and they want to play in all of them. Unless his back is broken then he will be fine. Sore backs come with being a quick.

 

[Scorpus]

What I don't understand is if Mitch Marsh is such a good lad in the dressing room, why he can't just be 12th man?

Sweeney should worry about his own form.

The injury would give them an excuse to leave him out rather than drop their no1 marketing man for his shit form.

Hazlewood said the same thing, and lo and behold, he broke down.

Arguably costing us a win.

Stirring shit is at its best when you have a highly emotive, irrational target of over a billion people.

When Poms are defending Aussies in Test cricket its at a level that should be a wake up call for the whinging party

Joe "never scored an Ashes hundred in Australia" Root has to turf most things that come his way if that's to happen.

Oops, I've updated my post

 

[nobbyiscool]

TBF, I'm not sure how the Jaiswal LBW wasn't out. And if it was the correct decision, I'm not sure that it should be.

So what, he declared himself fit. He knows more than the sports science people about his own body and it was a different injury.
I bloody hate this Molly coddling. Starc plays if he says he is right.
