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

[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.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Pretty sure Jaiswal said in Hindi, “Virat, you selfish arseh*le!”

 

[Rabish Binney]

Think it was YBJ's fault, that one.

The single wasn't on.

Nope. Jaiswals call, in front of the wicket, Kohli ball watching.

Kohli’s fault 100%

F** campaigner

 

[dumb]

Kohli just doesn't like young batsmen

 

[The 747]

Very nice innings from the kid.

 

[danielnajdek]

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

Hope it leads to a middle order collapse

He played and missed about 12 times and edged through slip about 5 times.

 

[Headless]

Non-striker needs to run in that situation IMO.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

A Kohli special?

 

[western royboy]

Nope. Jaiswals call, in front of the wicket, Kohli ball watching.

Kohli’s fault 100%

F** campaigner

He hit it straight to him

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

A guy on 80 runs to the danger end and Kohli raced him back to the crease

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Kohli's just run out his teammate and he's smiling??!!!

 

[philreich]

That's why you don't predict a draw on day 2.

 

[SC_Power]

The key to that runout is whether Jaiswal called it out clear enough, and whether they agreed they’d run quick singles.

Doesn’t look it from the replay, Kohli certainly wasn’t expecting a quick single.

 

[dumb]

Pat would have had to throw around Kohli

 

[Hawk Since Birth]

Did he play ramp shots?

No he was very orthodox. Didn’t start the fancy stuff until senior cricket.

 

[Magma]

jaiswal's call and kohli needs to trust the call and run. thats how it has always been. not standing still, ball watching and then shout no when your team mate is halfway down the pitch

 

[foxdog50]

It's looking like they brought back "MCG Concrete Pitch" again

 

[sosos]

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

You're probably right. But it's Kohli's duty to honour the call.

 

[SC_Power]

Surely Reddy or Sundar are a better watchman?

India bat Deep.

 

[JimmyBC]

Virat loves burning the young blokes even his own

 

[Rabish Binney]

He hit it straight to him

And it was his call. He was running to the danger end.

Replay shows Kohli not backing up properly.

100% Kohli at fault

 

[freo_leo29]

He hit it straight to him

Yet Kohli makes it home if he runs

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Only thing more lulworthy would have been if Virat ran himself out there

 

[Westend]

The key to that runout is whether Jaiswal called it out clear enough, and whether they agreed they’d run quick singles.

Doesn’t look it from the replay, Kohli certainly wasn’t expecting a quick single.

the key to the runout is you have a selfish prick who doesn't give a Toss about anyone but himself
