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

[Gethelred]

Couldn't that have just bobbled onto the stumps the way Smith's did?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There is a huge gap between Bumrah and our bowlers who are tier 2.

 

[Pistol Night]

Mitch Marsh off having a drink after fielding one ball. Hilarious

Xmas Day mode activated

 

[Voice of the G]

Yeah this is a draw

Both sides playing for the draw,Australia should have declared earlier but afraid to take the risk of India getting the runs.Lets see how Lyon goes when he comes on,perhaps even give Head a few overs.

 

[Coasters7]

So, how do we explain the 5th day of such a crucial game in a much-anticipated series at the MCG being dominated by Indian supporters? Where are the Aussies?

Probably at home in the pool watching it on tv with a full strength beer in hand

 

[madjoe]

pitch will be a talking point, had the 38c day to dry it out and it's still playing really good. to much juice in it on day 1

Marnus for the bants

 

[hawkman]

The pitch has been a road except when Indians bowl the writing was on the wall yesterday. Unless Lyon does something this ones a wrap

The amount of plays and misses in this test have been incredible. This hasn't been a road

 

[imagifED]

We needed at least 1 more 2 wickets by now. Run rate not an issue for India with Pant, Jadeja, Reddy, Sundar.

And edges not carrying

That would be a gross over-exaggeration

We just don’t care as much.
Cricket is No 1 in India.
The footy codes are No 1 here. Cricket just isn’t that big a deal here.
Indian fans would have gone to all five days.
Aussie fans would go to one and it is mostly one of first three days.

 

[Pistol Night]

That would be a gross over-exaggeration

Ok couch with mid strength

 

[Crankyhawk]

Attack seems impotent

 

[Jimthegreat]

We need a wicket every 9 overs. So far a touch behind.

 

[Voice of the G]

Stat on triple m this morning that about 1 in 3 outside edges result in wickets in Australia, this test has had 5 wickets from 73 edges. MCG Pitch is so strange....

And I said the MCG wicket is the best pitch in Australia for batsman,bowler and a result.At this stage I still think no result but has been a great match.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Wickets in clusters today. Patience boys. First domino, it's coming.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

There is a huge gap between Bumrah and our bowlers who are tier 2.

There is a huge gap between Bumrah and every other quick in the world.

There was applause for every dot earlier. There are Aussies at the ground, and you'll hear them if/when we get a wicket.

Now, the next I'm only going to say once, because it's not the forum for it.

People need to chill about the crowd and crowd noise. There's a reason both broadcasters - whose owners also own newspapers and donate to political parties - have chosen to focus on the character of sections of the crowd.

No-one is immune to propaganda.

Wickets have come in clusters in this Test.

5th day pitch you would think the spinner in Lyon should be a threat

 

[Gethelred]

Jaiswal's getting very frustrated here.

Probably because were half normal. Do we really want to be the Kmart Barmy Army? Although Marnus might be able to head it up looking at him

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I’d take the indian fans every day compared to the football-like English crowd over there. They have become absolute savages.

Absolutely

Indian fans love cricket and their team above all else. Poms love abuse disguised as "bantz"
