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

[Jimthegreat]

Not a great deal of rain forecast. Although early days.

Rain dance harder!!!!!

 

[boncer34]

Yep. Australia probably lucky to win it. They didn't bowl anything special. India just self destructed. Poor cricket.

Australia still have issues of their own going forward that need addressing.

Bad luck mate.

 

[Pistol Night]

Bad luck mate.

Yeah it’s a hollow win that the boys will be shattered with

 

[Westend]

Pressure builds pressure westie, happens a bit in these situations where one team drops their bundle

it does Jim but really losing 7 wickets in less than a sess with still 15 overs to go.....thats village stuff that you see down at 7th grade suburban turf

I'll take it ....loving it ...but really honestly india F**ked that up big time ...I thought it would be a draw as I reckon 90 percent of us thought

 

[tombomb]

Not to mention the energy he provided in the first innings which set us up nicely.

Yeah, but today the game was going nowhere and then Konstas started annoying Jaiswal. He was clearly trying to hit Konstas and they totally collapsed after that.

 

[Big Bryza]

Tim Paine would have been out of reviews by lunch

And phone credit.

 

[Middle Pocket]

Konstas going to silly point and irritating Jaiswal kind of changed the game.

Sam Konstas at silly point is so annoying he could fit in Hawthorn's forward line

Opening batsmen, specialist shit talker.

 

[AJ_2000]

We've had some massive last day wins in 2024. Ones that usually escape us or we're on the wrong side of the result.

Staying calm and not getting flustered when the momentum is slipping away has been huge.

Even eddiesmith's troll posts aren't this terrible.

Tell me you have NFI, without telling me.

When Australia were beating the edge a lot and the Starc LBW wasn't given, his narrative was "well luck is just a part of the game, I've seen Australia be lucky before". When the 50/50 moments eventually started going our way and we leapt onto momentum, it switches to "we didn't bowl that well, we just got lucky".

Gotta love that objective analysis. There was a narrative either way and it would be that Australia could win luckily today, or had won luckily before.

 

[Mister B]

So waiting for a confirmation is called cheating these days is it? Numpty.

Acknowledging that you are out. Being called out and then arguing that you are not out based on snicko even though the footage shows a clear deviation is a little different though wouldn’t you agree??

A mid MCG pic would be courageous

Considering that was after Pant and Jadeja got out, it's not the game changing moment, but it probably did help in making Jaiswal panic.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Prepare a flat pitch. You know the Indians would

Start pouring the concrete now

 

[HitTheNailOnTheHead]

Even if top of bail, it looks less than 50% to me (but hard to tell exactly) based on the white lines (that I drew myself) below. Still think this should be out and the 50% rule is a bit dumb in this situation when it is 3/4 inside leg stump, and hitting half a bail. That should be enough.

Starc robbed again.

It was before Pant got out.

 

[Mr Meow]

yeah but even up with today result BGman....honestly india shat the bed with that one....7 wickets in the sess and still 15 overs to go ...ahhahahahaha

"Wickets will come in clusters" was written in the stars. India just really went for it with the late cluster.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I didn't disagree with the initial comment. Absolutely he got in Jaiswal's head today.

 

[TigerCraig]

Cheaters, sandpaper, racists, bad winners etc etc

What are they saying about the Australians?

Everytime someone on here went for a shit we got a wicket. We should of got MOTM

 

[gtrxuone]

Memorable test match.
Massive crowds over 5 days.
Massive digital audience.Tv-radio-online.
Not just an audiences in Australia +India.
Both teams will arrive in Sydney pretty beaten up
Cmon Sydney ,rain,rain,rain.

 

[beside the seaside]

Australia's superior catching probably the difference.

 

[Westend]

Australia's superior catching probably the difference.

yeah thought smudge was fantastic in the 2nd innings.....ussie took two and mitch took two

Jaiswal dropped 3/4 ??? the marnus drop catch was the turning point for them......

the Joel Wilson F**kup lbw to Jaiswal I thought was the turning point for us..and it would a draw

enter Rubbish Pant lol hahahahah

 

[The Tilt]

Cheaters, sandpaper, racists, bad winners etc etc

There's a bit of blaming the third umpire, and claiming that he cheated as he's from Bangladesh.

Also, a few posters are calling Rohit Sharma 'fatso'. And demanding that he retire.
