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

[The Airing of Grievances]

Awesome test match. Brilliant performance today. Especially when Big Footy told me that if we didn't have India 5 down by lunch we couldn't win, if India were 3 down at tea they would win easy, and Cummins is a s**t captain.

Guilty as charged, except for the 3rd count.

 

[Pistol Night]

Optical illusion f$$k me the bloke is in denial

What have we got David Copperfield out there at square leg to mess with DRS?

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Clearly off the splice. Doubt snicko would register a deflection. Glove would have shown up on snicko.

Also **** off Sunny with your optical illusion shit.

Optical illusion lol.
Between him and that other twit, Harsha Bhogle, I’m glad they lost.
Love to gloat when India has a good session, can’t handle the heat when they crumble.

 

[tugga]

Winning when opposition fans sook it up is a lot of fun

We’ve all done it.
This is big footy after all.

 

[Scorpus]

Moral of the story is that when trying to save a test match especially when you have it just about sewn up is not to invite any pressure. Australia didn’t kick the door bown but Pant did it for them and this Bowling attack is good an experienced enough to go for the kill. It was actually great work from the Aussies to not allow Jadeja/reddy settle in either.

Jaiswal’s wicket isn’t Pant level bad but it was also massive **** up as he just didn’t have to play that ball or any attacking shots.

Thought all the bowlers were brilliant today. Cummins is an absolute GOAT, Starc was lyon hearted and boland was brilliant with his cultch wickets. Lyon also came into the game strongly when there was blood in the water.

I was thinking that a possible way to get Jaiswal would be to let him get close to a 100 so he starts playing a few shots with the prize in sight.

It seems like that's what happened

 

[RookiePick]

left work early and got to the ground at the end of lunch. Watched Pant and Jaiswal partnership, after the Marnus bouncer over:

Got home and had to watch all that unfold on the couch.

Idiot

That's a fail of giant proportion. Sorry bro

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Reckon Shubman Gill comes back in for one of their quicks. Was a slightly unbalanced XI this test.

Starc on fumes and Marsh obviously struggling but I'm worried well go with a Don't change a winning team mindset after the emotion of this win

Was a strange looking lineup, but really Reddy and Washington were chosen as batsman ahead of Gill. They barely bowled more than Marsh and Head and to be fair to them, they were two of their best batsman in the first innings.

Their biggest issue is the guy who should have been dropped is their captain. And the guy who should have been next in line to be dropped is seen as a god.

This side mentality is beyond elite.

 

[The Tilt]

I feel like an excited school kid waiting to go on an excursion to the cricket, can't wait to get there today. Sun's already out, not a cloud in the sky, the day is looking like a cracker.

Good call heading in today. I hope the back held up okay!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Junior looking very continental.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Just checked in, wrapped we won.

Harsha is alright. Blows smoke up whoever is on tops ass.

 

[Pistol Night]

This side mentality is beyond elite.

Marnus is beyond any ranking mentally

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hard to criticise batting on like we did. Even with Jaiswal getting 2 innings we won with 13 overs remaining.

 

[philreich]

Hopefully we win the toss in Sydney and make 800.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Punter will have to change his hair hat to the gun metal grey version shortly.

 

[Pistol Night]

Hopefully we win the toss in Sydney and make 800.

Bat for 5 days just to be campaigners

 

[dantm]

What happened to hotspot?
Wouldve stopped most of the Indian Bull*** coming from their trap

 

[gordo2016]

Sunny and Lane are both in their mid 70's and should be be playing with their Grandkids rather than commentating cricket. Cringeworthy.

 

[JimmyBC]

We somehow apparently cheated with Wilson and a third umpire from Bangladesh.. wild

 

[Outtatym]

Hopefully we win the toss in Sydney and make 800.

Bumrahs elbow might snap off

 

[Pistol Night]

Punter will have to change his hair hat to the gun metal grey version shortly.

Are they quick change like a cap or does he need a procedure?

 

[Portmagpies36]

We are all giving it to Joel Wilson again... the laughs behind it. 2019 Headlingley never goes away for us.

Changed the ball in 2023 Ashes, gave Mitch Marsh out twice in 2 balls last year both incorrect. Has had more DRS decisions overturned than any other umpire.

 

[bluespooner]

Nah. Steyn is the best quick of his generation IMO.

How quickly people forget.

Steyn by far; he threatened not just a player's wicket but their health.

 

[Chism]

Bumrahs elbow might snap off

Still will never be called for a clear throw!

Bumrah could literally baseball pitch it and the ICC will change the rules to accommodate this chucker.
