Does Australia have an answer to Bumrah

Not yet - Konstas may try and unsettle him as he did in Melbourne…but it’s a high risk strategy

 

[Cyber_punk]

We have a dogfight here.

I'd say bring on the rain and preserve a 2-1 win but this match won't make it to day 5 which is the only real chance of the heavens opening

 

[Pistol Night]

We're gonna be like 5/40 aren't we

No.


6 maybe

 

[10Dulkar]

Smith starting way outside leg and moving a long way again.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

This the one time we really need it to rain in Sydney.

 

[western royboy]

The amount of decisions umpires are not giving live is disturbing.

Just put a hat rack at each end and away we go

What that does show is that the spike does not have to occur in the exact frame the ball passes the edge (if there even is a frame showing that moment).

There's always tiny offsync, plus the length of the snicko bar covers an entire 1/30 of a second (ie a frame of footage, all the way through the "missing" frames until the next one that is seen)

 

[Westend]

Why is Labuschagne playing at that? It was bouncing a long way over

Because he fiddles outside off all the time

It’s consistent and is not new

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

The amount of decisions umpires are not giving live is disturbing.

There is no incentive to work at your craft anymore. There are tech fallbacks.

I miss the old days

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

This the one time we really need it to rain in Sydney.

Can we make it to the last day?

 

[Southerntakeover]

We would have to be the only cricket playing country stupid enough to prepare a guaranteed result pitch in this circumstance.

My god. We just needed to draw.

 

[Magma]

marnus couldnt look guiltier if he tried

 

[western royboy]

Chat at Konstas on the stump mike is unbelievable

 

[new breed]

On the Ropes Australia

 

[BGman]

A steady minus Sam fireworks start to the day. Beaut day in Sydney like most of December.

 

[Pistol Night]

This the one time we really need it to rain in Sydney.

37 every day incoming then

 

[Iceman!]

People praying for rain already… sheesh

Give em a chance before panicking at least

 

[Southerntakeover]

We're gonna be like 5/40 aren't we

As sure as anything

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Looks like it’s going to be a drawn series. Any chance of rain?

 

[Outtatym]

This the one time we really need it to rain in Sydney.

Calm down bed wetter

 

[StillAtLarge]

Why isn’t hot spot being used ??

HS technology gets confused by the heat of the tandoor. Spots everywhere I heard

 

[dogs105]

3 for bugger all, and then a Head century at a run a ball, anyone?

 

[smasha]

Konstas looking very good this morning.
A disciplined start compared to the amazing start in Melbourne.

 

[HK_Hawk]

We have a young bloke who has stepped out into the gladiator ring, and not taken a backward step. In fact, he has taken the fight right up to the Indians. Regardless of the rawness and flaws in his technique at this early stage, I cannot believe there are Aussie supporters here who want to question his actions last night, or pull him down for his brashness. I think those sort of supporters can just farrkkk off and go jump on the bazball wagon.

 

[Speck]

You can afford to let that go junior... it was going way too high to be LBW. If anything the bounce will be more on this pitch, not less
