60 in the ground

Gee, Lyon has been really underwhelming this series.

He hasn’t got a heap of opportunity but agree has been well below his best. Reckon he’s started to find his rhythm today though. Have a feeling he’ll have a major say in the 4th innings.

 

[Borisdog]

It would not be a stretch to imagine Kohli’s Day 1 brain explosion has brought a fair amount of flak and heat onto the team (and not just Kohli himself). There might be a fair amount of stress and even resentment running through the camp. It wouldn’t have been helped by the run out debacle yesterday.

Which is exactly why we should keep chipping and niggling away. A divided team is much easier to beat.

People on here having a dig about Pants shot are the same people who were loving Konstas’ shots.

Its all about the colour of the cap

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How can we possibly be -5 on the over par rate after the first hour? Ridiculous

Because our dumb spinner takes 4+ minutes to bowl an over every single time

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Kerry wanted Starc and Lyon on yet they look the less likely to take a wicket.

Tbf that was when two lefties were at the crease

 

[Trojan90]

Has anyone had an opinion on what was said to Kohli in the race. Often bigfooty knows what the media won't say

Apparently Jaiswal called him a selfish prick.

Konstas at least didn't do it when they put a 3rd man in

Is he planning on flighting the ball? Head is more likely to turn one

Lyons old, he's going to be s l o w

 

[troybe]

Should be a law against starting the Mexican wave before lunch

 

[dogs105]

Travis. Head.

 

[peternorth]

Why have we got Abbott as a sub fielder!

Get Mac Harvey

Boys club?

Smart bowling by Boland.
Set him up with the previous delivery.

 

[hawkman]

Can we just ban fielders touching the bails

 

[Coasters7]

Not sure many were loving it. Loved it after it came off but I reckon there was a collective “what the **** are you doing” from millions of Australians after he played his first one

That require a law to not serve booze before lunch, and nobody wants that.

 

[hawkman]

Because our dumb spinner takes 4+ minutes to bowl an over every single time

His run up is almost as long as Bumrah's.

That over was much quicker would have only been about 2 minutes

 

[Lunchtime]

No way has batting been harder in the last 15 years than it was in the 90's.

Without discussion about pitches. 90's cricket had longer boundaries, slower outfields , one day cricket had no power plays and the quality of the bats was considerably worse.

Exactly. Test cricket currently and the past ten to fifteen years hasn't been as strong as the 1990s through to the mid 2000s.

Why have we got Abbott as a sub fielder!

Get Mac Harvey

Really don't know why we continue to do this. England have used a specialist fielder as 12th for ages.

 

[Some Idiot]

Jadeja looking like he has his eye in a bit now

 

[Cold Sober]

Why not Smith or Labachuchy leg spin while we have runs in hand.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

His run up is almost as long as Bumrah's.

That over was much quicker would have only been about 2 minutes

Jadeja bowls it in a minute there’s the difference

 

[danielnajdek]

Does Starc ever bowl well at the MCG.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

We need Jadeja out. He's the danger man in my eyes.
