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

[LukeParkerno1]

Alex you are meant to ramp that

 

[Ekomaira]

Australia are saints are they spare me

if it was an Australian doing it I'd have the same opinion

 

[hawkman]

Carey going the Konstas approach

 

[Moonwatcher]

50 run partnership settling the ship. Need it to go another 50.

 

[k31th]

Carey clearly taking a leaf out of Konstas' book

 

[Gough]

He was awful the previous few tests but was heaps better today

Heaps? Are you channeling some South Australian affectation?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Can anybody tell me the cultural difference in why some Indian (and other cricketing nations from over that part of the world) players have their first names on their shirts?

Bumrah is referred to as Bumrah by the commentators, but has Jasprit on his shirt. How weird would it be seeing 'Steve' on the back of Smith's?

 

[JuddgementDay]

Is that why?

Wasn’t it?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Carey is taking the same approach as Kostas

 

[Moonwatcher]

7 runs from the over.

 

[Chuckie357]

Kurtis Patterson:
Test average- 144
Tests- 2

Mitch Marsh
Test average- 28
Tests- 46

Nobody will ever say it publicly, but I reckon there’s a lot of bemused / annoyed fringe players that haven’t had the favours Marsh received from selectors.

Very good white ball player, but never up to test cricket.

Mates and mates of dads inc.

 

[hawkman]

Bumrah moving it a mile

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wasn’t it?

Looks like it was, Foxtel was talking about light but I think you're right.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Ah good, another over gone, so let's talk about Konstas

Commentators used to call Imran, "Khan" and that was printed on his shirt. Very Western-centric approach.

They choose their shirts

 

[Moonwatcher]

Damn

 

[k31th]

great ball from Akash Deep there

 

[Around the Wicket]

Has had an outstanding season shows you why it’s important to have Shield games behind you before a test series

But sports science says to rest everyone

 

[Jimthegreat]

Good nut!

 

[Joffaboy]

Australia are saints are they spare me

Classic whataboutism. No player from any nation has the right to physically and purposely use his shoulder to bully and intimidate another player.
Any player from any nation deserves a suspension be it English. Kiwi, Australian but apparently not Indian.
Hmmm go figure.

[freo_leo29]

jeez, thats a seed

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Dammit, Smith needs to go on to make a big hundred now

 

[Neese]

Ah shit.
Deep finally gets a wicket.

 

[010203]

Carey got a good one.
