[Moonwatcher]

This is Gough to Slater levels of first over dross.

John Howard to Abdul

 

[peternorth]

the perfect start. for one team

 

[largebus]

It's only one over but jeezus christos Starc

 

[western royboy]

Have they given any cues away in how they ate going to play? Don’t worry about rain on Day 5

 

[Plugger35]

16 runs off the first over, I thought the Big Bash wasn't starting for another few hours.

 

[SuperSub17]

Starc…

 

[eddiesmith]

Never liked Starc, always been such an only when the conditions suit him bowler. He never bowls you to victory when you need it

Waiting for Alyssa’s angry reply and why you’re wrong…

 

[aabp1978]

Well I enjoyed the last win…

 

[MarcusP2]

Lol we're gonna get WACAed.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We shouldn’t have played Starc but such is the arrogance in and around this team they couldn’t read the signs. He’s just given all the momentum to India in one over.

 

[Danger Zone]

As expected, that rained out Gabba test is going to cost us reclaiming the trophy. Australia deserved to win this series outright.

Make it rain mate !

 

[Nicho50]

India will need 300 plus here.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On the positive we get to laugh at the Melbourne derby

[eddiesmith]

Bit of a broken record but why is Starc playing and Richardson warming the pine

$$$$$$

He scored 8 and 23 since his 60 at the MCG. I dont think the Indians are rattled by him.

I'm actually dumbfounded by how he is being celebrated given his mediocre output in his last couple of innings. Lets be honest about that 60. He could have been out 15 times. The opposition wouldnt care too much if that was his approach every innings because he most likely will fail more than he succeeds.

But he seems to be getting a pass because of the entertainment and the fact the Indians are chirping him? As I said, I always thought the best way to shut the opposition up was to score big. Those scores could be few and far between for Konstas.

You can see by looking he got under their skin. They sorted that overnight.

 

[kickazz]

Give Boland the third over

 

[PhatBoy]

It's more the opposition reactions, not the shots and gob offs. India reacted like it got to them.

Today, not much when Konstas went out so seems they leant and focussed better.

Mate Curtley Ambrose reacted like Dean Jones got to him.

Who do you reckon was more headf**ked after he took 5 wickets and went berserk at the MCG?

Judge it by the outcome not the reactions of the people involved.

Make it rain mate !

Day 5 and we deserve to lose

 

[RandB]

Give Boland the new cherry.
Can't **** around here.

 

[Bedi]

Should have a lead of a out 30 atleast. Another chapter of this to come.

In terms of where the series is poised, if India were to win this it would be right up there with one of the most devastating Australian losses i've seen.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well I enjoyed the last win…

Technically a drawn series with India is an improvement
