5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

Yes I agree it happens but I am an advocate that the batsman by law should have to be ready to face when the bowler is ready to bowl. The laws could be changed to stop this.

it's in the rules of the game, it's not big in this case as there was likely no hope of getting another over in but he had plenty of time to face up and prepare.

If Uzzi isn’t going to around come the Ashes, I see no point of playing him against SL. I’d rather get time into Kids.. remember the Warner goodbye tour when we had a chance to get some youth into the team… and we didn’t.
Why make the same mistake twice?

Being the subcontinent, I'd say Head will open again with Konstas. Ussie is playing his blast Test.

 

[Bungeye]

Blame Konstas for that wicket. It was never gonna end well with a fired up Bumrah.

 

[Xtreme]

Bumrah emulating his hero Jimmy Anderson

 

[revo333]

It's up with the 2005 Ashes now this series.

Not even close.

2005 had 6-7 players at their peak.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Glad we protected Lyon by putting in the nightwatchman.

 

[Jack Lord]

Well, it's on now.

Konstas has served it up. Tomorrow he has the chance to take it to Bumrah. If he can do what he did in Melbourne, it could easily win us the test and the series.

Delicious.

You miss the point.

Bumrahs response was excellent
Low key and not over the top celebration

It's a bit like your team kicking 2 goals late to draw close at HT

 

[Mr Meow]

come ON people we love Uzzie but he should stick to KFC ads They were full on to protect people from COvid eh! Greedy scam scam mainstream media

Did somebody say KFC?

 

[Jimthegreat]

Khawaja let down Konstas big time. That ball that he nicked didn't even move. It was a straight one.

Given Konstas had got into their heads again, Ussie ****ed everything getting out last ball. Very annoyed at him.

Khawaja let down Konstas big time. That ball that he nicked didn't even move. It was a straight one.

Played it with both feet in the air.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

He's a teenager.

If you are playing with men you don’t get any excuses you are a kid playing against them. If you want excuses then stay in the juniors.
Bloody shits me

Some players you just don't poke.

He is the only player that can win it for them.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Bumrah turning into a ***ker now.

Konstas acting like a young Hawthorn player.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Indeed but expecting to escape without someone saying something equivalent to ‘Hope you enjoyed that’ would be unlikely in the circumstances

The level of restraint in this collosal understatement both impressed me and made me laugh out loud. Well done

 

[Bucking Beads]

We’re crying out for a bit of personality and we want to bash it out of the kid already. Remember being nineteen and needing to learn. He’s gonna do some silly shit but he’s standing up for our team which is something we desperately needed

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The fact a 19 year old is causing so called professional cricketers to chuck tantrums is something else

 

[Portmagpies36]

That was absolute quality from the best bowler in the world.

As soon as he realised Khawaja and Konstas blatant cheating had got them the desired result, he slowed down and set Khawaja up beautifully, textbook fast bowling.

Have you taken your hand out of your pants yet?

 

[norway blue]

Konstas is wearing very thin in my book

no i think it's more likely khawaja failed again this series

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

If you are playing with men you don’t get any excuses you are a kid playing against them. If you want excuses then stay in the juniors.
Bloody shits me

I'm not providing him with any excuses.

He's a teenager and he's holding his own out there with men. Good on him. I love it.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Indeed but expecting to escape without someone saying something equivalent to ‘Hope you enjoyed that’ would be unlikely in the circumstances

He's the non striker.

Can't be doing that

 

[ams4crows]

I'm just so pissed with Khawaja like why are you playing so far back in the crease on the last bloody ball.

It's time for him to go

 

[revo333]

Bad feeling this will be a classic win toss, win game test match. Need to be 50+ runs ahead before India bat again.

only one down , not 5.
