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

[Jim Prideaux]

Nope.

In any game but especially in this heat you want to wear the bowlers down because Bumrah and ravi are world class but the supporting cast isn't great. You keep your wickets in tact and bat slowly if you need to so that by the 50th over bumrah has to keep coming back and is cooked and then guys like head can cash in. You try to only bat long and bat once
It would have been better if we were 0 down even with half the runs.

So considering that Konstas batting the way he did says either a) he does his own thing and doesn't follow instructions or b) if they told him to bat like that he was given the wrong plan and our coaches don't know what they are doing.

Which is what I told you.

No, you’re right, the bloke who carted Bumrah all around the G and set a beautiful platform is wrong, and you, an absolute clown of the highest order is right.

They’re still bowling, on the back foot, and have big daddy head still to come, in hot weather, on a bowlers pitch.

 

[Around the Wicket]

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

Na not at all, now they review no balls there 40 a game, to in favour to the batsmen

 

[hawkman]

Konstas took 32 off 2 Bumrah overs. The other 9 he has bowled have gone for 11

 

[Pure_Ownage]

A lot of people looked at Dave Warner at the start of his career and said he can't keep that up over time too.

He never did (outside australia). The boys club just didn't have the cojones to drop him.

 

[Cleavy]

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.

he'll stick around to call the BBL from the studio

 

[TigerCraig]

Beats listening to Ian Healy’s daughter.

Niece

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

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

You ever watched a test match before? The commentary pretty much talk about everything that has happened throughout the test match. Especially if it was something of quality, which his innings was.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

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?

Projecting his career off one test innings (which is all we have to go off) based on the shots he played.

What’s the point of posting here if not to predict and project his future?

 

[Around the Wicket]

Konstas took 32 off 2 Bumrah overs. The other 9 he has bowled have gone for 11

It’s why he has been so lethal, he has had free rein to do what he wants, zero pressure on him.. shame Sam couldn’t go massive

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Maybe time to step up. Three haven’t carried now

 

[BGman]

Sam was no doubt playing ramp shots over the back fence against his brothers.

He'd not have been popular with his neibors.

Players must be starting to cook as temps move up to 38. Not want an uncovered spot in the crowd today either.

Nice to see you can't actually address the issue.

I'm yet to hear why getting out before the 25 over Mark was useful at wearing anyone down.

Good to see that you're wrong.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Ussie's footwork outside the off-stump is an issue.

 

[big_e]

D Fleming overdoing the avenue of BS stuff

Anthology of analogies.

 

[Joffaboy]

Over to SEN, can't cope with the Ch7 Konstas wankfest

Lucky the suns not out

 

[Plugger35]

Another edge falling short.

Copeland saying India need a third slip, it fell short of second slip, third slip wouldn't have made a difference you dimwit.

 

[Jimthegreat]

He'd not have been popular with his neibors.

Mexican wave if off and running early so guessing the heat has made the mid-strength beer kick in early.

At least it is cloudy

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

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.

So you’re saying the Clinton Grybras of cricket wouldn’t be bringing up a 19 year old scoring a run a ball 60 in his debut, half an hour after he out?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Marnus use the wooden thing

[Some Idiot]

India bowling well since lunch

he just went to the toilet ....media are reporting his turd was as white as snow

Good to see that you're wrong.

The game is an undeniably quicker one these days, he did what used to take three hours to do in one and a bit and has provided a good platform. It's what you ask for from an opener.
