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

[1990crow]

Which follow 9 at 55.11 last time they toured.

Was happy to back him in after Perth and Adelaide but I've lost patience with him now.

If you want to play for Australia you must perform.

 

[Jimthegreat]

2 lousy wickets all day. One was a charity.

If you want to play for Australia you must perform.

Agreed. I'd be dropping Lyon and Marsh for Murphy and Webster in Sydney and resting Starc for Richardson.

 

[Coasters7]

This.

The impatience here is unbelievable. It's Test Match cricket. Not between minnows either. 1 & 2 in the world. Can't just expect things to happen instantly all the time like T20. One wicket will make all the difference. Patience people.

You can when both batting lineups have looked fragile as f*ck up until this point. Most state cricketers would be making runs on a deck like this.

 

[Borisdog]

They’ve faced 50 overs between them.

50.

Great effort.

 

[Saint12]

Give it a rest Kerry

 

[Marshland]

Wow... Just got home and saw score.... Bowling ordinary or pitch turned into a road?

[adogsfan5]

Reddy ain’t a number 7 batsman lol.

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

Can Konstas bowl?

He would think so

You do realise cricket is hard? There is such a thing as peaks and troughs.
The bloke has 530 test wickets ffs.

Can Konstas bowl?

He can cure world poverty apparently.

 

[gtrxuone]

Very inconsiderate to their hosts. Should have folded by now

Though one would get out after the rain and tea,Christo.But no doing,lol

 

[yabsy]

Popped down the shop to grab some lunch....Damn it, no wicket!

[Westend]

Todd Murphy

Rocco Might have a say about that

Murphy cuts the ball suited for subcontinent Rocco flight more bounce suited for Aussie conditions

Nah. This has been going on for a while now.
He's 37 and bowling trash. He's cooked.

Rocco? Please. He's not test match material.

 

[JimmyBC]

This is a great partnership imagine if one of them was Konstas GEE GAW GAH!!

 

[CakeEater]

Reddy will keep milking these singles to 100.

Is it too much to ask for one that goes above the eyeline?

Captain planet going to water when confronted with a lower order.

I'm not happy with Cummins captaincy but "captain planet"? Grow a brain.

There's today's reference to T20s when reasonable criticisms of the pitch are raised.

I reckon you could criticise a pitch where both teams only bat once and you'd still have people being like "maybe you just don't get Test cricket" in response.

 

[Tassieboy]

Lyon bowling an Ashley Giles line.

 

[SC_Power]

Can Konstas bowl?

I’ll ask Alyssa Healy, and the Prime Minister.

 

[Tassieboy]

Get long-on up FFS.

 

[Plugger35]

Lyon is good at picking up cheap tailender wickets but these two guys are better than tailenders.

 

[NYRB]

Not me. It’s blaring obvious.

Never understood both Marsh brothers getting selected time and time again. Meh performances in the Shield.

I’ll just bring in McSweeney and he can bat 5. He deserves it.

Do sense for Marsh if he does get dropped for Sydney it’s going to be difficult for him to get back into this XI again in this format with a tour of Sri Lanka ahead and Ashes next year. Got to remember he is 34 , injury prone and very reluctant to bowl these days. Im hearing his speeds are around the 118-120km/hour as well.
