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

[Moonwatcher]

Mark Waugh stole Warner's brown suit.

 

[Cmarsh]

Impossible to compare eras but I’d take Greenidge in a heartbeat

Why?

 

[SSwans2011]

Becauses players are generally selected to….play for as long as possible?

That, uhhhhh, doesn't answer my question unless you're judging a several other Konstas Test innings that I must have missed where he used the same tactics and failed?

BOULEVARD OF BEWILDERMENT

Motorway of Mute Button

 

[chickenonachain]

Marnus doesn’t know which way it’s going

 

[peternorth]

Still finished with as good an average as Gordon Greenidge over a 100+ test career though.

Sure did. But eventually form and age got to him

 

[Run n Spread]

To be fair Konstas ramped a half volley outside off over slips for 6 - no one knows what is normal anymore

Bumerah was bowling a mile outside off. At that pace get anything on it it flies. Not risking a nick same way as a drive if he fidgets outside off which he started doing in first over.
Than it threw him and he bowled at the body and he hit a boundary fine. It was brilliant innovative tactical batting which totally threw them

 

[Jimthegreat]

Come on Marnus, a couple of ramps...lol.

Beats listening to Ian Healy’s daughter.

Neice.

When are they bringing out the memorabilia. Got my phone ready to pounce.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

A lot of edges falling short so far, the slips should come up a yard as Richie would say.

No pace in the pitch

 

[Run n Spread]

FFS Deep needs to bowl over the wicket and Bumerah mix it up and not just bang it in

 

[Moonwatcher]

Labs first run for the session?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Free hit , nice!

 

[Around the Wicket]

Ball isn’t doing a lot, Lyon will have to win this game late for Australia or it’ll be 1-1 going into the 5th.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Just to confirm you would rather be 0-60?

Yes of course is that a serious question?

 

[Run n Spread]

No pace in the pitch

Yep India bowling like it's Perth. It won't work

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Been slow moving since lunch. They have bowled well to be fair

 

[Joffaboy]

Free hit , nice!

Really that is one rule that should used in Tests from hit and giggle.

They're talking about an interview with Konstas at the next drinks break, he will be commentating for them by the end of the day.

Kevin Healy

 

[Jimthegreat]

At least try to rotate the strike.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So a 19 year old who has been talked up for at least 18 months. Debuts on Boxing Day in front of 80k, in one of the best series we have seen over here in a long time.

Scores a run a ball 60, with some insane shots, whilst taking a bloke who has been virtually unplayable for the whole series, and smoking him to ever part of the ground.

And you are surprised that the commentary are still talking about it?

No I'm not surprised because the standard of commentary is terrible.

Pity we don't have someone like a Clinton grybas who could actually call the game.

 

[Neese]

Well we are getting another interview from him. I can't wait.

Yawn.

 

[Cleavy]

Are these two going to dig themselves into a hole after Konstas gave them the perfect start?
