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

[Jim Prideaux]

flatly incorrect.

all whilst you were bleating Australia were "miles ahead" yesterday, you were told yesterday by multiple people the pitch is hard to bat on, and now Australia have batted on it that has proven true.

Cricket was swings in it sure, but you have an obvious complete misunderstanding of how pitches work. You said yesterday that India failed because they were all out for 180 odd, well that was actually a good score on this pitch, again and you were told at the time.

Australia were never "miles" Infront. Not yesterday and not today.

You can't claim a team is miles Infront until that same team has batted on the same wicket.

Just take the L and move on, digging up won't save you.

Wrong yesterday and you are wrong today.

Ok chief. Anyway, if it helps you, even without Bumrah, India are now a good bit in front.


Australia batted poorly, I would say 300 would’ve been a good score on this pitch, with 250 well and truly gettable if we had applied ourselves. Unfortunately, we didn’t.
Webster, on debut showed it’s not wildly hard.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll send another angry reply - I myself am going have a cold beer as it is damn hot.

Back to nil all. Us just in front with Bumrah possibly done.

 

[Coasters7]

But... it did touch the grass?

There's perhaps an argument to be made that the rule should be changed because the ground didn't aid the catch and he had some level of control, but to the letter of the law it was not out.

How was Khawaja out then? Two different rulebooks there

 

[ABAB]

Pitch still doing something so bowl them out for 120 and chase in the 2nd innings when the pitch has completely flatten out, easy.......

 

[Moonwatcher]

This is where giving lip instead of applying yourself looks bad.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

This next session will decide the match imo.

Need to take 4-5 wickets, most likely on this pitch day 3 will be the best time to bat.

 

[BillyElliott]

One big positive..at least our bowlers won't be tired as they weren't out there batting for very long.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

He went off to hospital, so something isn't right

His throwing arm injured……. lol

 

[southern_crusher]

I'd we can bowl them out for around 100 we are a chance.

 

[Outtatym]

Steve Waugh died?

Pretty sure he's smashing piss in the ladies stand atm

 

[largebus]

No excuses now with their best bowler out.

 

[RandB]

Worried about Kohli here. The prick is due for a ton.

 

[troybe]

Whats with the lack of mental toughness?

Steve Waugh is turning in his grave right now

Pretty sure Tugga’s sitting in the stands unless you have some breaking news for us

 

[1990crow]

No excuses now with their best bowler out.

If Bumrah was still in play we lose this every day of the week

 

[BGman]

India look set to have a rare innings win over us.

Outtatym other than in First Test and this innings the Aussies have won every other one.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

A 2-2 tied series means we need to win a test in SL to make the WTC. We are cooked lol.

In Sri Lanka the pitches will be raging turners as well.....

 

[SSwans2011]

How was Khawaja out then? Two different rulebooks there

Because he was caught cleanly? The ball didn't go anywhere near the ground for the Khawaja dismissal.

 

[danielnajdek]

Worried about Kohli here. The prick is due for a ton.

Nah he is done mate. Boland will get him again. He has no idea against Scott.

 

[The 747]

Langer is still giving both of them a run for their money on Ch7, thank god Hayden isn't there with him.

It still amazes me that Langer was coach of our national team. Surely they noticed something when they interviewed him?

From hearing him and Warner commentate, you would think Warner was the ex coach.

 

[Gough]

Pretty sure Tugga’s sitting in the stands unless you have some breaking news for us

41 points on the death list.

 

[Anzacpaul]

No excuses now with their best bowler out.

He'll be Lazarus in the 4th innings.

 

[TigerCraig]

Watch them bat rest of today and all day tomorrow, put on 350 bowl us out in the last over of day 4, then day 5 have torrential rain all day

 

[Bucking Beads]

Bumrah will almost certainly bowl in the 4th innings and knock us over.

 

[Sea fog]

Bowlers didn't get much of a reprieve.

 

[peternorth]

Steve Waugh died?

Died doing what he loved
