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

[SportsCentre]

That last session won't do much to help the perceived dis-unity in the Indian camp

 

[PoopingHindi]

great days cricket. loved the contest. plenty of fight from both sides. Bumrah elite.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

 

[danielnajdek]

Well done to Marnus, Pat, Nathan and Scott. We might still lose but they showed grit and heart today unlike the top/middle order.

Random question, cos I never take a radio to the footy - do I still need a radio in 2024/5? Or can you get pretty much synched commentary at the ground on your phone now?

If you connect to the MCG wifi you can stream in real time.

We were going to declare overnight no matter what right? Regardless of what eventuated from that Bumrah over.

Nah , make them bowl an over tomorrow and Lyon should walk out to bat with one of those mini bats you get signatures with.

 

[dumb]

one of the toughest parts about trying to win would be our own over rate.

 

[Syd_Bombay]

The older ball was moving and doing just a bit ,, new ball seems to do nothing ..
If Lyon and Cummins can make 40s i hope Kohli and Rohit can make 100s then

 

[Southerntakeover]

Batted til the end of the day!
Bumrah is stuffed.

That’s a massive psychological win

Couldn't have turned out better, the non-declaration.

Lets our bowlers have the evening to recover too.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

This is set up deluxe.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Big swing that partnership... if they got that last wicket cheaply they would have been chasing about 220 tomorrow (India would have got 20 overs bowled at them tonight).

 

[gtrxuone]

The ebbs and flow of test cricket fully on show.
We were destroyed before tea, but the late order recovery has been astounding.

What a joy to watch.

Theirs no game stranger for momentum swings,than test cricket.

"Spare a thought for Bumrah". No, i don't think I will.

Exactly, zero sympathy for a bowler who takes a wicket off a no-ball.

 

[Golumless]

Bowling India out tomorrow will be a tough ask. Not impossible but I'd back them in to get through.

Maybe. India have only gone past 200, and survived 80 overs twice this series. The key is to get Jaiswal early.

Don't we need every over possible?

We bat a couple over, lose a few from the change over. Why would we do that?

 

[theiaofseed]

If Lyon scores 7 more runs, Marsh will have only out scored Hazlewood and Boland for Australia this summer. (Both who are averaging)

What's the logic behind the 2 overs? I've seen a few posters mention this.

Make them warm up, go out to field. Make Bumrah bowl another over.

Opening bats only have 10 minutes to prepare.

Australia get to have a choice of roller in the morning

1973 Walker and Watson put on 83 v Pakistan foelr the Aussies to win.

It was Massie and Watkins.

Psychological. Tails are up, looking to chase 250 in the 4th after being out of it, gets snatched away by 10 and 11.
Then have to go out again for two overs and the openers need to then get kitted up to bat.
Border used to do it to the Poms often.

Yup

Keep ya feet behind the line is the lesson to learn here

Is there another pitch roll for a change of innings?

 

[dumb]

98 overs tomorrow. bat another 3-4 overs, lose 2 change of innings. we're down to 92 overs we're only going to get about 10 overs at most with a second new ball unless we bat and bat. might be enough if it makes it that far.

 

[barrackers]

Still waiting for a howler to be given not out now India have burnt all their reviews

 

[Anzacpaul]

Try and put on a quick extra 20 runs and make the Indians go through the fielding warmup and come out on the ground, whilst the Aussies get an extra 15-30 mins in the rooms with their feet up

Not losing from 333 in front with still a wicket in hand. Surely not.
