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

[Voice of the G]

I absolutely agree. It was a pair that invited pressure on one another.

If he's made of the right stuff, and keeps scoring in the shield, probably.



Shoulda, coulda, woulda, wasn't.

So it's irrelevant noise. Though, I do think McSweeney deserves a whack for not going on with it once he got through. A 50-60 keeps him in the squad and he done the hard yards.

When the shield starts again I think the squad for SL will be over there so hopefully McSweeney is over there with them.

Pretty ****en funny watching a 19 yo get under the skin of Virat and crybaby Siraj.

What a bunch of ****wits they are are.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It really is pathetic

The constant pushing is what annoys people.

He was excellent. But he’s out. He made 60.

We don’t need his brother interviewed.

 

[troybe]

18ft skiffs or GTFO.

Never did find out what business Schiavello were in, though.

They do office interiors

 

[Plugger35]

18ft skiffs or GTFO.

Never did find out what business Schiavello were in, though.

There used to be some ten pin bowling at the lunch breaks on Ch9 too which was slightly more entertaining than the 18ft skiffs.

 

[sherb]

Should have been out for 3 and his series would have read 10, 0, 3, 10*, 9 and 4

But he wasn't.

Or do we start judging every innings not on how many runs scored, but on their score when dropped?

 

[brutus76]

How long until Match referee Andy Pycroft makes an announcement?

 

[iDon]

Credit where credit is due, he made some runs from being unconventional.

Will revisit the love in here in 12 months time (will no doubt be locked in for the ashes) and see how he is travelling and if he continues to play this way and if he sustains it.

 

[The 747]

Is there anything more unnecessary than the Sydney to Hobart yacht race?

 

[kickazz]

was cricket lunchtime entertainment better when we had:
(a) filler programming like the Fishing Show
(b) The Cricket Show hosted by Simon O'Donnell
(c) the "analysis" and self-promoting we have now

d) Tenpin bowling

 

[Stax on the mill]

5-60 at lunch.

Yeah/nah.

Ramp shot in 3rd over after having not hit a ball yet?

they're going into camp before the BBL finals as well. You're correct, the Shield resumes on the same day as the 2nd SL Test,

If Kohli wants to play footy, he can switch over here:

AFL - The Australian Football League

AFL fans talk in this forum!

Piss poor and has to get a heavy fine.

 

[SSwans2011]

Why are people trying to diminish the quality and memorability of Konstas' innings? FMD some cricket fans are incapable of positivity, hey.

Similar to how Bernard Tomic won matches from being unconventional early doors.

When he was worked out. He was cooked.

 

[JimmyBC]

The constant pushing is what annoys people.

He was excellent. But he’s out. He made 60.

We don’t need his brother interviewed.

You know what was worse.. CH7 interviewing Usman's missus about a minute before play started. Who the hell do they think wants to hear from WAGS?

 

[western royboy]

Ponting is a brilliant batting analyst. Would love to see him critique the Konstas batting technique.

I’ll take things that will not happen for $600

 

[Joffaboy]

Both Gavaskar and Kohli are prickly combative characters, no surprise that Sunny is defending Virat, he's a chip off the old block.

Sunny would usually back it up by making a lot of runs, Virat will need to do the same here, he will be copping it when he bats.

The commentators saying that sort of niggle shouldn't be in the game but they would all secretly be loving it, it adds some spice.

Physical bullying and intimidation has no place in cricket, from any nation from any player.
I don't mind a chirp. They are adults playing for their country, but Kholi deliberately shouldered a 19y.o on debut.
It was quite frankly gutless from Kholi.

What the hell is this ashwin interview lmao. Why are they being interviewed by indian ganja jesus

 

[F6Typhoon]

Pathethic Gavaskar - grow a set and tell the truth

The fear of a public lynching as soon as he disembarks in Mumbai probably gags him somewhat?

 

[Around the Wicket]

But he wasn't.

Or do we start judging every innings not on how many runs scored, but on their score when dropped?

Doing nothing for 3 Tests then getting a 3 life 39 has to be taken into consideration when judging how good the 39 was

 

[peternorth]

Also, did I hear Skull read out Konstas' home address on national TV? Odd thing to do if so...

Hes approaching Geoff Lawson levels of nsw bias/lovefest

 

[Bletch]

How long until Match referee Andy Pycroft makes an announcement?

Not till after he's had time to consult the BCCI.

 

[SSwans2011]

Maxwell's match-winning 200 not out in the World Cup was actually a poor innings because he was dropped twice.
