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

Does the batting become harder when the ball is softer. More likely to stay low?

Might be harder to score but will be easier to survive

 

[Grumpyshades]

lucky runt

 

[PhatBoy]

Boggles my mind how elite professional players can present themselves like marsh, rohit and Pant.

Different era but seriously think about some of the players of the past?

It’s not AFL where if you can’t run this distance in this period of time at this output, you simply cannot play your role.

Obviously there would be some level of standards that should be expected but if you can play your role and it isn’t your weight or skin folds or whatever that is impacting it then I don’t know what they’d worry about it nearly as much.

 

[Outtatym]

He's gotta get a tickle at some point

 

[Some Idiot]

Starc all over Jaiswal, doing too much if anything

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Watched much of this game though? Damage needs to be done with the new ball otherwise it’ll just get easier. If we don’t have them 5 down by just after lunch then I think India become favourites. Dont see a draw being likely, they’ll go for the runs if theyre within 100-120

Nearly every session.

Because we howl our own fans down all the time plus we really don’t care as much as other fans.

You make a decent point. We seem to sit back and think others who overtly barrack are cringeworthy.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Imagine if they ran out of beer late in the day

Fair point.
I guess to me it shows that they are not doing the absolute most to better themselves.

 

[Gethelred]

Well left.

 

[Outtatym]

Generally when you use the word scrambling it indicates panic, w***er

 

[Gough]

How he still has a job is beyond me.

How didn’t they expect a big crowd with a zillion Indians living in Melbourne?

 

[JimmyBC]

Flem giving Marnus a grilling on 7 and couldn't agree more. The excessive energy and over appealing was funny at first but it's ran its course.

Marnus is currently in the laneway of ludicrous.

 

[Gethelred]

Marsh is having a bit of a mare.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

It's not what you know it's who you know

 

[Voice of the G]

India will chase these down I reckon. Just don’t feel like our bowlers have the wickets in them in a day.

Looks a draw to me at this early stage.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Only thing that chits me is the poor Australian public turnout. Sickens me hearing the deafening support for India, bike horns and drums, yet eff all for our boys.

Well, TBF, it’s not like we are playing at home, at our premier ground, with a BG series on the line… oh wait…

 

[hawkman]

Jaiswal playing and missing as much as Marnus did

 

[peternorth]

Generally when you use the word scrambling it indicates panic, w***er

the old clickbait then deny its clickbait

 

[Coasters7]

Jaiswal lucky to still be there

 

[Westend]

so is that over half balls jaiswal has played and missed ??

far out he plays and misses heaps

 

[Pistol Night]

Marnus is currently in the laneway of ludicrous.

Hes flying down the avenue of acid

They mentioned on the coverage earlier that they had put the call out to the security team so they could open more gates and help get the crowd through

But I did get a laugh from Morris - write something to get a certain reaction & when that happens, try to walk back the initial message but it's too late you already look stupid
