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

[Adelaide Hawk]

Could be too high.

 

[Plugger35]

Height could be the issue here.

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.

You're full of shit. It's day 2, it's when batting is supposed to be easiest.

The BBL is on in 2 hours, that might be more your speed I think.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Too high I reckon.

 

[Coasters7]

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

Can’t see it happening with the forecast. Few more days like yesterday and it would’ve been great

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Don’t reckon it’s high. Is it in line though?

 

[Scorpus]

Yeah not a good review

 

[windyhill]

Now go and get your hundred young man.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Effing Joel!

 

[peternorth]

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

Did he play ramp shots?

 

[dumb]

Mitch Marsh releases the pressure bowling or batting

Go back to BBL, son. Test crickets are meant to span 5 days ideally.

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.

I should follow this up by saying I agree with what you're saying. This Test is well poised and Jaiswal is awesome to watch. Just sick of the constant denigration of T20 cricket when it's not relevant on here. "T20 generation" is pretty pretentious phrasing IMO.

Still much prefer the real deal and I'll only watching T20s when the Heat are playing or the World Cup.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Looked much closer live

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Rare good call from Joel Wilson

 

[Magma]

not even umpires call on the pitching in line feels a bit harsh

 

[SC_Power]

I feel a wicket coming.

Almost… keep trying though

 

[Plugger35]

Pitching outside leg the other issue, only just.

 

[V_23]

Marsh:

• No runs
• No wickets
• Now he's wasting our reviews

 

[Around the Wicket]

I want to see if it was hitting

 

[010203]

It doesn't matter now but I'd be interested in ball tracker for that LBW.

 

[ams4crows]

Sorry that's utter shit that more than half the ball needs to be pitching in line, if any part of the ball pitches in line it should be out

 

[SC_Power]

not even umpires call on the pitching in line feels a bit harsh

There’s no margin of error on those, as you have exact positions.
Margin of error on projected ball position only unfortunately

 

[Jimthegreat]

No way you should need half the ball pitching in line. As we found with the tennis the actual pitching is accurate, after that there can be variations.

Is it like when someone is called "woke"?
