Can you explain the difference between seam position for swing vs traditional seam bowling vs wobble seam?

Yea farming the strike at 6 down is just ******ed
Should have hedge his bet and put on an India win at $7.Wonder how old mate who popped in here yesterday to big-note himself for punting on the draw on day 2 is feeling right now
It's still looking dangerous Alyssah. India well on top.
He has always bowled long spells a bit quicker than ideal, and often been more of a bounce then spin bowler. I don't think he's done. Largely doing what has always done, against a team, which (while many are out of form) has good players of spin.

Not pretty, but a very important 50 from Marnus.
Jaiswal dropped the match, calling it now.

Just saw the score.
Thought this pitch was a road…. Though not surprised Marsh got a duck off 4 balls. Lasted 3 balls more than expected.
Might as well have gone the tonk and got some quick runs from the start, couldn’t have been worse off than now.

With Marsh either drop the hands or play a leg side shot, not a timid fend. Gone out exactly the same way every innings.
Game isn’t over yet but I think Australia has been burnt this series by picking underdone not 100 percent fit players
Hazelwood could not get through a test was picked
Marsh struggling all series to bowl overs has hurt
And this test head imo is not 100 percent and had a niggle last test and his performance has been poor this test
Now Mitch Starc is clearly struggling wil
The selectors make the same mistake they have in the past and this series ?? Picking clearly not 100 percent players

Why is everyone in this thread ripping into Labs? The only guy holding onto his wicket (even with a drop in the 40s, thats 20 better than anyone else).
Shielding Cummins from Bumrah is 100% correct strategy, as he has taken out our entire middle order. Labs has his eye in the best, so better he take strike momentarily to ensure Cummins does not face him early.
Losing a few runs, but keeping Cummins in - is 100% the go. Particularly as we're not really aiming for 350 now, with 250+ really our best shot now.

What is the highest successful run chase in Test matches in Melbourne? Top 10 most runs chased down in win at MCG listed | Sporting News India
Australia hosts India in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG in the fourth match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 with series equaled at 1-1. As the Aussies bat first, let us have a look at what are the highest successful run chases at the venue.
Highest ever successful run chases at the G. Nothing over 231 in the last 60 years
Time to look to the future.
He bowls now hoping for the batsmen to play a dumb shots, not to beat them with the ball.
He’s had his time. This tram needs to start regenerating.
Marsh can **** right off too. May as well play 10 with a sub fielder.

What’s the highest score in the fourth innings?

Since the start of last summer, it's been his ability to make big scores that has masked some pretty patchy form though. A bit more consistency from him would be good.

phew lucky there
Definitely strange criticism, some saying he was batting slow when he was 40 from 70.
