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

[Westend]

Can you imagine playing though?

"You can't slide in the field. No high 5s when you take a wicket. No one pat him on the bum or on the back - in fact just don't touch him, don't even let him get too excited!"

If Starc can’t get up due to injury .. yes I can see Richardson playing

 

[F6Typhoon]

I hope he’s wearing a turban to hide the knob on his head

Off topic but new NSW road regulations come in tomorrow including this doozy:
Rule 270 Wearing motor bike helmetsInsert after rule 270(3)— (3–1) Subrule (1) does not apply to a follower of the Sikh religion who is— (a) wearing a turban.
In essence. NO helmet required on a motorcycle if you wear a turban!
Wonder if that’s an ADR compliant, in date turban or will a rolled up towel suffice?

 

[Cleavy]

Richardson has been declared fit

Has he progressed to throwing from the boundary, or is he still bowling them back?

How the hell does that work???? That’s basically telling people ‘here. take advantage of this and you WILL die if you crash at a reasonable speed.’

Worked for Courtney for 15 years

where's neser at?

bcci vice-president swinging his dick around is wild. doubt we'd hear a peep if it was an australian bat in this situation. mr vice-president would then be telling us to accept the umpire decision... which we probably would have anyway.
also, needs to pipe down to avoid further inflaming the situation.

as for the cheating aussies call - also wild. all the cricketers did was want the decision reviewed. they had no say.
same old story. spirit of the game, unless the rules are to my advantage. if the rules work against me, invoke the spirit of cricket.

Some of the reaction has been unhinged.

I know it feels like a million years ago now... crazy to think that Kohli trying to physically intimidate a debutante happened in this same test match.

 

[Cleavy]

Glenn would always like to think he is a chance but has played very limited and ordinary red ball cricket, and TBH shouldn't be considered....unless of course you are a parochial Victorian.

Even parochial Victorians here don’t think he should be considered.

 

[CakeEater]

Think its interesting that all the Victorians and NSW that matter want Marsh in

 

[Underarm]

Probably not now. A career of missed opportunities because his last name wasn't Marsh.

I don’t, so not all. (Guess I don’t matter? How can this be, I’m a spoke in the wheel here)

So we've confirmed your not Andrew MCdonald then Cleavs

Phew! Appreciate the confirmation

 

[Iamspock]

Mate, Gavaskar has been like that for well over 40 years.

Got a chip on his shoulder the size of the Himalayas.

Mt. Everest is a foothill in comparison to the size of that chip. Although you could say he is evenly balanced, as he has a chip on each shoulder.

 

[Iamspock]

Yes, he’s played a shield game, multiple second XI games, grade cricket and white ball games. CA have been managing his workload for this very reason. Has bowled uninterrupted for almost 12 months now.

Zampa isn’t in the top 5 FC spin options.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but out of interest who would you have as the five ahead of him.

I think he is referring to the commentators. His contributions are usually

 

[Hamingja]

Hi Junior

If it was Junior he would want both Moises and Abbott in.

 

[The hands of stone]

Sean Abbott is underrated here.

He’s a very good cricketer & if his name was Marsh, he’d have played 50 tests.

If your a true Sean Abbott fan you would refer to him as SABBA like Brett Lee and Mark Waugh do at every chance

 

[hawkman]

Think its interesting that all the Victorians and NSW that matter want Marsh in

His mates in the team and around the squad?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Abbott with a superb average of thirty in first class cricket is next in line for our test side. Mental but makes sense as he’s another of the NSW boys club Mafia.

 

[hawkman]

ashwin’ll likely go down as the best bowling all rounder, many, like mitch santner from NZ end up being a better bowler, ashwin still regularly made runs (and centuries) while being a dominating workhorse for india across the globe

In all the outlandish posts in this thread this might actually top it. Santner may end up being a better bowler than Ashwin! Wow

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Just in from the ICC. The official verdict on the Jaiswal dismissal. They have taken the footage from the Channel 7 replay and overlaid the Zapruder film.

It clearly shows the magic bullet taking the left side of the Kookaburra and causing the deflection. Now we can all move on

 

[greatwhiteshark]

This is a bit silly.

He knows how he feels, and that's about it. He doesn't know more than the physios or team docs do. Pretending that the scientists and doctors don't know more than the player themselves - when the player's health and condition is literally their entire ****ing job - is extremely silly.

If a doctor tells you you have cancer, you going to up and tell 'em, "Nope, I know how I feel, and I feel like I don't have cancer."?

Stupid example the cancer one. I have been a fast bowler and no doctor knows how I was feeling better than I did. Yes they can give you advice and make recommendations but they can’t tell you that you are to sure to okay unless you have told them you are to sure to play.
