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

[Howard Littlejohn]

They weren't the talent, the game was. Modern commentators could learn from that.

true enough. Even Fleming sometimes has something worth saying. Its a shame he takes the Path of Pointlessly Prolix Prose to get there.

 

[FreoRicci]

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.

Marnus is about that. At least his worst is still serviceable. Needs more of that.

 

[Roosurgence]

97 more Scotty!

 

[freo_leo29]

That was gone

 

[k31th]

bit of a silly run :O

 

[Gough]

With the new ball maybe. If we haven’t got them 5 or 6 down by lunch there could be huge problems.

Trav Head to take the last three Michael Clarke style ten minutes before stumps.

 

[Young Redleg]

Leach has a high score of 90

Against Ireland. Hasn't done anything of note outside of that innings.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Lyon just about needs a Zimmer frame

 

[hawkman]

That these 2 are relatively comfortable on this pitch does not bode well

Ball is 71 overs old

 

[Bedi]

Vital partnership this one

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Let's hope the bloody idiots who masquerade as our Test selectors are of the same opinion.

You obviously have heard Marshs’ jokes in the dressing room… absolute zingers!

 

[Roosurgence]

You just know Lyon is going to rob Boland of his ton here.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Adding the suffix 'ologist' to everything isn't wit Fleming.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

$10 entry for tomorrow sounds enticing. Might go in.

Am tempted to fly down from Sydney for it.
Getting sick of the missus over the Chrissy break tbh.

 

[V_23]

Didn’t realise Jaiswal dropped three catches

 

[Tiges1229]

We will be all out for 80 tmrw

Well I’m pretty close so far

 

[hawkman]

The over rate is gonna be something to behold tomorrow

You play all the over in the final day out. We may actually finish about 7.30

 

[Southerntakeover]

You obviously have heard Marshs’ jokes in the dressing room… absolute zingers!

Fully believe he's got Zingers in the locker room. Chips and potato and gravy too.

Tail wagging the dog
Love it

That these 2 are relatively comfortable on this pitch does not bode well

Eh, it doesn't bode poorly either. You expect a 70-over ball to be the point where batting is at its easiest in Australia. However, that comes back to Smith/Head/Marsh wasting what was a good start to the third innings.

Though, India have let this drift a bit.

 

[SC_Power]

Australia ever so slightly edging in front I reckon.
Dont discount the psychological effect of another 4 runs to go 300 up.

 

[yabsy]

Exactly 100 put on between the last four pairs

[Mr Meow]

Yeah not a fan of how easy it is for 10 and 11 to knock the ball into gaps. Easy chase if they take their time. Even if it’s 150 off the final session

If our bowlers fire we can defend this. Cummins might not be Bumrah but on his day can be lethal.

It hasn't only been Bumrah getting the ball to move around today. Most have been dangerous enough, sometimes without luck.

 

[The hands of stone]

Partnership is now in the annoying stage for India

Did someone say KFC?

Are his jokes that "good"?
