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

[Howard Littlejohn]

Nightwashmen is the dumbest thing in cricket just send the batsmen out there

Somebody has to do the laundry

 

[amazingjoshy]

That run out has caused carnage.

Started from Marsh's review, broke their concentration

Gets him another 10 Tests

 

[freo_leo29]

****kkkkkkkkk

 

[peternorth]

Now Deep out. They need Homelander.

 

[JimmyBC]

I know people point to Gillespie, etc, but the failure rate of night watchmen would have to be upwards of 90%

Yea Gillespie was better in defence than some top order batsman.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gunna be a disaster if Konstas doesn’t get to bat again!
The TV ratings would’ve been massive

We're not enforcing the follow on surely

 

[Golumless]

Need either of these blokes tonight. They stick round, and they could take this away from us.

Eh, it's a 300 lead right now. Even if they survive, there is plenty of lee-way for one of them to get themselves out/get done by a good bit of play.

 

[Tugga27]

I always go this, respect the call

I'm guessing you've never played.

If someone makes a dumb call, you can always say no.
You don't just run.

 

[Joffaboy]

32-33

West Indies were touring in 30-31

That's right, it was developed because Bradman destroyed them in 1930.

Australia lead by FLOOR(PI*100)

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This is the guy I'd like out, Jadeja. He's been a thorn on Australia's side for years.

 

[SC_Power]

I know people point to Gillespie, etc, but the failure rate of night watchmen would have to be upwards of 90%

Stats over the 80’s and 90’s show teams who have used night watchmen average approx 25 runs less as a scoring unit than those who don’t (all other factors being equalised as best as possible in the model)

[Westend]

Why did Kohli know in the first place that he hit it straight to a mid-on fielder if he wasn't already ball watching? That's the fundamental that I'm caught up on. He should've run.

Poor call by the striker, poor basics by the non-striker. Both batsmen f***ed up

yeah but Kohli knew there was going to be a run out there was time for him to sacrifice himself for the young fella who was batting great on 80 odd when king lifeboat man was on 20

could be a turning point of the series.......with Kohli shirt fronting a 19 year old yesterday and then burning his young team mate today ...its a team game not all about you

 

[Gethelred]

There are few things harder to do than to face Scott Boland at the G in the third session in the Boxing Day test.

 

[Outtatym]

I know people point to Gillespie, etc, but the failure rate of night watchmen would have to be upwards of 90%

There's a role to play there - sending one out with 25 mins to go is just dumb though

[Doctor Feel]

Jadeja is one of their last who can actually bat. When the dude gets in he can cart them.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

We're not enforcing the follow on surely

Too early in the match to even think about it.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I'm guessing you've never played.

If someone makes a dumb call, you can always say no.
You don't just run.

With it not being direct Kohli makes that, if he commits from outset he makes it regardless

 

[Neese]

sammy konstas reminds me of Baby Driver

Loved that movie.

 

[Moonwatcher]

India scored 1 more run than Australia today

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Kohli just can't help himself. Just keep walking you moron.

 

[Southerntakeover]

So we basically traded our last four for their top five today. Nice.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We're not enforcing the follow on surely

I wouldn't.

Purely to burn Bumrah into ash.

He's struggling as is
