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

[Pistol Night]

Skull tells a great story about how Rod Marsh and Doug Walters took him on a brewery tour in Adelaide the day before a test match back in the 70s saying they would just have a couple of beers which turned into an all afternoon/night drinking session.

He was hungover as f*** while experienced drinkers like Rod and Dougie were used to it, to make it worse they had to bowl first.

I think that was the day that Thommo did his shoulder so Skull had to bowl more overs than usual too, those were the days.

I still listen to it all the time.

Don't worry guys Pat will get Kohli.

Lyon needs to bowl us to victory. Can't really remember many times he has.
Edgbaston 2019, Adelaide 2014????

 

[philreich]

I'd get fiddy on this it's a featherbed

I'd edge the ball onto my stumps, instead of being clean bowled.

 

[Saint12]

They are going so overboard Konstas fatigue is setting in and people will start getting meh on him.

Yep can see this not ending well

 

[BGman]

Early prediction - this will be Jaiswals 5th 100 not 9th 50

Is looking more comfortable than earlier knocks but it is becoming an easy paced pitch on which Indians are reared. He still has this habit of flashing away from his body, one flew thru where a third slip was not. So lucked in for his 9th 50.

 

[Around the Wicket]

[Cleavy]

give Head a bowl

Mines about room temperature

 

[Westend]

afternoon all

looks like good old fashioned tough test cricket atm

 

[1990crow]

If we’re going to pick him and not bowl him then there’s not much point to him playing.

Duh

 

[Around the Wicket]

by the laws not holding a phone.. I’m pretty sure he won’t get pinged taking a selfie with a 6 year old mate

 

[danielnajdek]

Marsh is there because he's a good bloke and said something funny in his Border speech......

Will need the pitch to naturally deteriorate.

Lyons a great of Australian cricket, but I think it's nearly time to consider Murphy.

 

[Xtreme]

give Head a bowl

Marsh or bust

 

[Around the Wicket]

Marsh is there because he beat up on the Windies

 

[Swanny69]

He’s no rocket surgeon

Well played

 

[pattymalone00]

Now Hasha Bhogle bringing up the law on holding phones on comms far out they really want konstas suspended

 

[gordo2016]

Konstas playing with the crowd after one innings that needed a massive amount of luck to score a 50. Settle down champion and keep your eye on the game.

 

[Plugger35]

I still listen to it all the time.

I actually read that story in one of his books, a book I lent to a mate of mine about 20 years ago and I still haven't got it back.

 

[Borisdog]

Ball 28 overs old. Thought Lyon might be getting a bit more turn than what he has. The Indian spinners got a reasonable amount of turn.

Lyon is a “drop” bowler, you want turn then Trav’s who should be on.

I’d bowl Trav before Marsh.

If only counting the 4th innings, recently Wellington 24 v NZ and Lahore 22 v Pakistan

I think that was the day that Thommo did his shoulder so Skull had to bowl more overs than usual too, those were the days.

When he went to NZ on what he thought was his last chance tour he knocked back a night at the bar with Dougie & Co on favour of a night at the flicks with Stacky.

As he slid back in after the show, Dougie was waiting for him “What flavour milkshake did you have at intermission?”

 

[Cleavy]

Seriously, why is Mitch Marsh in the side if he isn’t going to bowl?

"good bloke rule" apparently
