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

[Lunchtime]

Did this flog put something on that tape on his finger to make it move more? Without any evidence im thinking yes

Are you seriously thinking that?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Pathetic how the channel seven commentators aren’t baking the Indians for their carry on. We would cook our own if they charged the r opposition batsmen like they have. Must be nice to be on the IPL payroll. Justin Langer is a weak weak little garden gnome

 

[Xtreme]

When Australia only need a draw, why would the moron SCG curators dish this crap up?

BCCI influence

/s

 

[ABAB]

Konstas what an overrated hack lol. Talks a lot of game for someone so useless

Well, he score 20 when the other score 2, 2 and 4.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Not quite the situation in which I wanted to see my man Webster have his first bat

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Why do Aussies insist Travis Head owns India? He's struggled quite a lot this series.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Cummins and Lyon will need a century partnership

Everytime our tail has to bail us out. May aswell play 8 bowlers with Smith, Head and Carey.

 

[hawkman]

This is a terrible pitch. Within 3 balls Smith cops one that bounces and then one shoots low

 

[Kuuz]

Lol what am I reading here. Pitch is doing shit loads. You can either die slowly or try score while you can out here. India tried the defence and the ball was still doing heaps all day. I say score when you can cause theres a 100 balls with your name on it

As I said during bowling, I’d just argue SCG groundsmen wayyyyy overdid it with this wicket.

I mean, it’s completely different to their shield ones. Result wickets are good, but not when it’s so heavily skewed towards the bowling unit as almost every ball is a grenade.

Probably need to be aggressive as the ball is doing a fair bit

It’s another crap SCG wicket, but in the complete opposite direction. Spells bad news for us and BGT. Would have just preferred another flatty in these circumstances

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Pitch is unsafe, time to call it off

Get a Ouija Board & summon Barry Jarman.

 

[Lunchtime]

This decent bowling lineup is finally exposing our ridiculously crap batting techniques which has been allowed to happen for the last 5+ years

Batting on roads does not one any good.

Top scoring by 6x the next batters score for now.. who you calling a hack

 

[Lebbo73]

Are you laughing now HK_Hawk ?

 

[vikum123]

We cannot lose to these Campaigners!!!!!

 

[Pistol Night]

Are you seriously thinking that?

Hahaha nah mate. Was a joke

 

[RookiePick]

The ball is currently indestructible so things won't get any easier for another 45 overs or so.

On the plus side we're unlikely to last 20 anyway.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

They need a 19 year old to fire them up? Shouldn’t the weight of their performances and the fact they are a professional cricket team representing their country be enough to fire them up?

He needs to stfu. Hasn't achieved anything and likely never will but somehow thinks he owns world class bowlers. Fraud

 

[Lunchtime]

I like how Ponting and Langer talk up Head and say there will be no ramps, no charging a etc and he’s gone for 4. lol

Head is still hot and cold player.

 

[reubski23]

Why do Aussies insist Travis Head owns India? He's struggled quite a lot this series.

Mate he dominated the first 3 test matches by and large.

Poor last test and this pitch is very tough

 

[chriso11]

When Australia only need a draw, why would the moron SCG curators dish this crap up?

Playing his grand finaln

 

[nobbyiscool]

WTF was the curator thinking, to serve up the juiciest wicket in the series in the final test?

Internet experts who know nothing about curating a pitch

Do you have any clue how little you can change in the space of 3 days?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Losing two of our time batters cheaply hurts a lot. Needed them to take the sting out of the new ball

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Luckboxed a 60 in his first dig. It's all the flaws of Bazball wrapped up in a baggy green.

He’s await and see.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Need at least 150

 

[CakeEater]

The ball is currently indestructible so things won't get any easier for another 45 overs or so.

On the plus side we're unlikely to last 20 anyway.

I have faith in 1 of these two hanging around.
