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

This could easily turn into a spinners paradise don’t right it off Day 2

What could possibly happen in the last 280 overs?

 

[HitTheNailOnTheHead]

I feel a wicket coming.

 

[SSwans2011]

Watching test cricket among the T20 generation is infuriating.

The pitch is fine, the match is well poised. Jaiswal in particular is batting really well.

You know what's worse than people who allow T20 to cloud their judgement of what cricket should look like?

People who need to make everything about Test cricket vs T20 cricket.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Going to be a tough one to win unless Lyon can get himself into the series

38 and impotent
Don't know why he keeps his spot

 

[Golumless]

Does anybody else feel the team management wanted to have a look at both McSweeney and Konstas before Sri Lanka, with Khawaja expected to call time after the next test?

No.

I reckon they got thrown in the deep end because the easy replacement decided to have a stretch where he averaged 3 in the shield.

 

[HitTheNailOnTheHead]

3rd wicket will fall before India reach 150.

 

[Gavin Excell]

An exceptional talent.

Yes likely will be best batsman world 3 or so years time

 

[Around the Wicket]

**** me dead that was a pie and a half

 

[western royboy]

Don’t bowl there sonny

 

[Stax on the mill]

Some shot! No respect shown to Mitch.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Jaiswal hitting Marsh out of the New Year's test

 

[danielnajdek]

Tbf that's how that shit should be treated. His bowling 120k pies.

The pitch is shit. This is the Melbourne of old. Tail enders were looking very comfortable against a newish ball and most wickets thus far have come from batsmen being too aggressive. These are the sorts of games that kill test cricket, when there’s just no contest between bat and ball.

 

[SC_Power]

Is it time to imagine Jaiswal is Ben Stokes and we start bowling medium paced short balls into his hitting zone?

 

[nobbyiscool]

I don't know why you wouldn't be giving Marsh that treatment when he's bowling 120km/hr pies that don't move.

 

[Hawk Since Birth]

What 10 years old?

First encountered him in u11 reps. He thought everything was about him, he was very talented though.

 

[peternorth]

Big moment. HUGE!

 

[Around the Wicket]

That’s a umpires call

 

[Plugger35]

Imagine the conversations Langer and Haydos would have had in the middle. How the **** they made any runs is amazing

They played in an era of roads where the bowling wasn't that strong, Haydos made a triple ton against Zimbabwe at the WACA.

They got found out in the 2005 Ashes series when England had a good bowling attack, only Ponting stood up in that test series.

 

[Saint12]

High?

 

[SC_Power]

Geez, that looked high to me.

 

[010203]

Outside leg and height the issues

 

[Stax on the mill]

Too high.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, probably umpires call.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Umpires call maybe. Marsh was confident
