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

[1990crow]

Starc and Lyon letting Australia down.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Hazlewood.. one thing is for sure they get less potent as the series goes on, same thing in the Ashes last year.. 2-0 up then couldn’t buy a wicket.. I reckon they gas.

 

[Mr Meow]

Well they wouldn’t drop Lyon anyway, but Richardson would have been a big improvement on Starc and should play in Sydney, Webster in for Marsh.

Credit for putting names out there but I really doubt those changes would've resulted in Australia bowling India out for less than 250.

Rotating Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Boland and Green as pace bowling options through a 5 match series is the way to go. I'm not seeing anyone else really stepping up to join that mix, so injuries make it difficult.

 

[SSwans2011]

Melbournites that were banging on about the Queensland weather would wanna hope we get a result here.

We can lend you our curator next you if we can borrow your weather at this time of year.

 

[eddiesmith]

The other thing is, whilst the NSW bowling attack want to play every test and get upset if anyone suggests resting, there’s a clear drop off by 4th/5th test every single series.

Even Bumrah is struggling in the 4th test of the series.

 

[Doctor Feel]

FEEL THE EEEEEEEEELECTRICITY

 

[SC_Power]

Watch everyone turn on Konstas if he gets out to a ramp or dumb shot early

I won’t turn on him.

I’ve never thought he should be there in the first place.
No turning.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Be lucky to be batting today

We have literally no idea how to bowl to the tail

A bloke who can spin the ball would be nice

 

[Plugger35]

Tim Lane getting carried away again saying that was not a bad shout for lbw.

Thank god he isn't out there, he would be blowing reviews more than Marnus.

Cummins and Boland were dangerous yesterday and had them on the ropes, it’s lost when Lyon and Starc bowled so all Richardson would have to do is look threatening and take 1-2 wickets and they’re all out under 250.

We are just at the 1/2 way mark of the Test, conditions for batting should be at there best today, be patient there will be a result here

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Luckily we have Mitch Marsh as a 4th quick.

 

[SC_Power]

One thing that Bumrah does that we never do is throw in the yorker occasionally

Just struggling to see where the life will come from in this pitch. There's less variable bounce than there was on day 1 and not many cracks appearing.

 

[imagifED]

For all the talk of our domination and the disharmony within the Indian camp, the series is still 1-1 with all the pressure on us to win the series.

 

[western royboy]

Khawaja is slow in the field

 

[1990crow]

Dogshit captaincy this

 

[Ekomaira]

doing it so easy

 

[dumb]

maybe force them to go over mid-on or mid-off or point for a bit

100% I just posted the same thing, they struggle toward the end of every summer / 5 match series.. they even lost one to Windies last summer … they need to rotate the quicks though out the summer, it’s clear… 2-0 up last Ashes then couldn’t buy a wicket.

 

[eddiesmith]

Khawaja is slow in the field

Only time Khawaja runs hard is to get off strike.

 

[010203]

These 2 have put on 90 for the 9th wicket.

 

[imagifED]

Swap Rohit and Kohli for prime Pujara and Rahane and we'd be looking at a deficit.

 

[1990crow]

doing it so easy

Pretty easy when the offie bowls wide outside off and the captain leaves Cover and Point open.

 

[Plugger35]

Reddy is on the charge, a debut test ton is there for the taking for him and I would love to see it, he deserves one.
