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

[Coasters7]

I like seeing Cummins carve Bumrah through the off side for four... but it makes me think we need more than 270

Yeah bit of a double edged sword. The more runs our tail makes, the less confident I am in any score under 350-400. Either that or Cummins is currently playing one of the all time knocks.

 

[hawkman]

Unless we let Pant go berserk I think we have enough as their batting is as bad as ours. They too relied non their latter order bats to get them out of strife. Much harder under pressure in the 4th innings.

Jaiswal is the worry

 

[PhatBoy]

Kerry pulling out all the annoying isms

P. Cummins
Who’s gonna make the 120-not? (Because it’s hard to add an extra syllable and say ‘not out’)
‘they gave me a standing O.’

It’s entrancing

 

[FreoRicci]

4 innings from Head and Marsh = 5 runs.

At least 50-60 from that, and it’s not too bad.

 

[Young Redleg]

Can't be angry with Cummins there. I feel like he's gotten us out of tricky situations far too much for someone who bats at number 8.

 

[Plugger35]

Scotty B 50 time

Steady on, he's no Merv Hughes or even Peter Siddle, he might make a 20 at best.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

I wonder if what Jadeja just did should be a 5-run penalty?

You are not allowed to fox that way in the field.

Different rules for different teams

 

[Kapow!!!]

I’d still have Australia pretty comfortable favourites here, would take a special innings from both Kohli and Jaiswal to chase this down on the last day.

I feel like it'd be more likely Australia would have them 5/100 and India still win by 4 wickets to be honest...

 

[hawkman]

sloggy time. no point blocking and bunting.

Another 10-15 could be important even if it takes 10 overs

 

[Around the Wicket]

Jaiswal is the worry

Also the most likely to do something dumb and get out

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Spinners who bowl No Balls should have 2 runs counted against them

He’s almost insufferable now.
When he talks actual cricket, he’s one of the best.
But 80% of the time he is trying too hard to be funny and falling well short.

Yes, non-stop batting us out of the shit.

 

[Southerntakeover]

India have quietly let us get a far more competitive total than we should have from 6 down.

did he popularise the term "nicking off" in the modern cricket vernacular?

 

[catstorm]

No point playing defensive against Jadeja, just take him on.

If you get out so be it.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Can he still provide those things without being in the XI?

Well I guess any halfwit can cut an orange, so yes.

 

[Young Redleg]

4 innings from Head and Marsh = 5 runs.

At least 50-60 from that, and it’s not too bad.

I love Head but the gap between his best and worst batting is ****ing astonishing. It would be nice if he scored at least 30 when he's not at his best.

 

[Cleavy]

well we did the same for them.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Righto Nath... make them pay

 

[Gough]

I'd like to knee whoever did that in the nuts.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Come on Siraj carry on about dropping that.
