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

[kenneje]

Massive ****up by Kohli, and Jaiswal let him know about it.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Stiff! About the only way we were going to get him out. Now for another one before stumps.

 

[ABAB]

Kholi's fault, even funnier.

 

[Neese]

Now Kohli please.

 

[Maddo11]

Kohli ball watching instead of trusting his team mate

 

[Jimthegreat]

Good. He got the benefit of a bad rule before.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Absolutely Barbecued by Kohli

 

[The 747]

Kohli pointing to the fielder and saying something like you hit it straight to the fielder mate.

 

[Magma]

and the young fella has learned a valuable lesson here.

 

[Plugger35]

Horrible run out, why take a quick single in this situation, now India sending in Deep at the deep end as a nightwatchman.

 

[Marshland]

Think it was YBJ's fault, that one.

The single wasn't on.

 

[sosos]

That is comical and it's Jaiswal's fault too.

Jaiswal's call. That one is Kohli's fault.

 

[TigerCraig]

That is comical and it's Jaiswal's fault too.

His call though, even if wrong

 

[Kennedy Parker]

A run out was the only way Jaiswal was looking likely of getting out

Hope it leads to a middle order collapse

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Nightwatchmen now from India.... LOL

 

[Saint12]

Batsmans call

 

[TigerCraig]

Lol Kohli....

He wasn't moving

 

[Marshland]

Both sides are about to make 450+ untroubled mate. That’s shit cricket

I recommend you look at some famous test matches between these two teams over the last 20 years.

 

[Joffaboy]

Jaiswal's call, WTF is Kholi looking behind him.

Will blame Konstas

 

[freo_leo29]

Surely Reddy or Sundar are a better watchman?

 

[Gethelred]

Well done, Virat. We couldn't buy a wicket, and you up and gave us one.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

If 1mm of the ball is in line then it is in line as that part is accurate. That law needs to change.

Its not a tennis ball with a lot of give. Only a very small portion of the ball will make contact with the pitch. The rule is fine.

On whether it would hit the wicket or not, arguably only a small part of the ball would be needed to dislodge a bail. However, the predictive side of DRS is still a bit dodgy at times so some benefit of the doubt isn't a bad thing. Whether that benefit should be to the umpire or the batsman is another question.

 

[troybe]

Kohli the statue. Great bit of luck for the Aussies

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Jaiswal's call. That one is Kohli's fault.

Jaiswal’s call but don’t think there was a run there. Kohli would have been out by 5 metres if it was a direct hit at his end

 

[gordo2016]

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.

Shocking that good batters are showing their class and bowlers have to work hard to get them out on day 2 of a test. What a sh** post.
