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

[HK_Hawk]

Any chance our 8th wicket partnership could put on 100+?

 

[Kapow!!!]

They seem to be emotionally immature, the BCCI protects them, and their simp supporters can't see any wrong in being a child.

And our commentators and, um, whatever the nice word for "arseholes" is will condone and encourage the behaviour because a bit of niggle and aggro is "good for cricket".

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If Boland can get the same nibble of the deck in the last innings he very well could win us this game.

Would be statue territory

Nah

Hit on back pad, front on with knees bent. I’m giving that out every time.

Don’t feel too bad for him, he’s statistically the luckiest batsman in test history (lowest catch to chance %).

[Kane McGoodwin]

400+ is still my 'safe' score.

Lol, that's not happening.

Would take 300+ from here.

 

[dogs105]

Great cricket to watch!

 

[barrackers]

Was saying the same thing live.

Umps very trigger happy and we are on the wrong end of the 50/50 Umps call.

Good review and Marnus is stiff to go out to that.

Not sure if stats support it, but it feels like umps are giving more out now we have drs.

Careful any criticism will see you labeled a racist.

Choose your words carefully and never say anything bad online or you will be reported and banned on any social media platform.

India for a 3rd world country themselves have got the rest of the world bluffed and running scared.

 

[Struggle]

India will never admit it but he's rattled the entire side.
Kohli, Siraj even Bumrah have all acted like dickheads at times.

That's just everyday behaviour for these 2. Konstas or not

While I love their passion and the supporters are rarely aggressive, They are completely incapable of being impartial. Complete kool aid drinkers.

 

[Golumless]

Currently there can be a different result for the same percentage of ball hitting based on the umpires decision. Either it’s hitting or it’s not for mine

No different to what it was before DRS. Different result depending on what the umpire called.

DRS is only there as a safeguard against the howlers.

 

[Spirit Level]

Our batters struggling against Bumrah at least makes sense as he is one of the best of all time.

He's a bit of a chucker through isn't he

 

[k31th]

nice fielding from Nitish

 

[revo333]

Good game.

Geez the voices of the commentators are so different.

Ravi Shastri, so good. He seriously should read audio books. Would be great.

Howie. Just grates. Hurts the ears.

Not biased as well when giving an opinion.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We'll need to catch everything

And not screw up our reviews

 

[Chism]

Except yesterday where Nitish? was hit on the back pad and the umpires had no interest.

Reverse the teams and the finger is straight up.

ICC changed the rules to allow this chuckers action to be legal FFS.

15yrs ago Bumrah aint playing cricket with that bent elbow action.

 

[Lunchtime]

Our batters struggling against Bumrah at least makes sense as he is one of the best of all time.

Them struggling against Siraj shows how poor their techniques are and how much they can struggle against some very average bowling.

Luckily they don’t have to come up against a pace attack like SA’s back in 09/10.

This team would struggle to make more than 50 in any innings of a series against a line up of Steyn, Philander and Morkel.

Or the SA attack of the 1990s through to the mid 2000s. Shaun Pollock and Alan Donald...both world class bowlers.

 

[Dogsman16]

Big positive is that Deep and Siraj have also got substantial movement of this wicket.

Bodes well that Cummins and Boland can also get substantial seam movement.

Bumrah is on another planet.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lol, that's not happening.

Would take 300+ from here.

I'd definitely take 300

 

[barrackers]

For the millionth time umpires call accounts for the inherent error margin of the technology.

That is, there's no known percentage of the ball that was hitting. It's in the margin where it could have hit or could have missed, so we defer to the judgement of the human.

That margin of error is a known percentage that can be calculated and applied to give a consistent outcome without relying on human judgement.

 

[Manbearpig77]

To be in this position after where we were at the end of day 2, is actually embarrassing.

 

[Xtreme]

Let's go India

 

[Moonwatcher]

Cummins has played the innings I was hoping Carey would have.

 

[hawkman]

For all the criticism of the pitch yesterday, this has almost become the perfect pitch for a 5 day match

 

[revo333]

That’s because their the only ones that are allowed to do it in their eyes
