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

[Plugger35]

And everybody laughed when Rodney Hogg wrote in the Truth that this kid will take 500 wickets

Didn't he get sacked for making such a ridiculous prediction? Imagine if he had said that he would take 700 wickets.

Jim Courier getting ready for the Aussie Open. Starc giving him something to laugh about

I don’t know why Australia are so desperate for an allrounder.
since Watson, Marsh has played far more tests than he’s deserved, Green has been carried through some poor form, hell even Hilton Cartwright played 2 tests.

Why not just throw Labs the ball for 6-10 overs of whatever trash he feels like serving up.
Plus it’s Sydney, Head can bowl or even McSweeney.

Labuschagne barely qualifies as a part timer imo, don’t give him the pill unless they’re 3 for 600.

Interesting pitch this, guess we’ll know what it’s like once they’ve both batted on it, looks dangerous but not sure how it behaves once the sun comes out.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I have to agree with those saying "pitch it up". Too much movement when short of a length, the ideal is to move it sideways just over half a bat width. Three bat widths looks good, but relies on the batsmen following it to get edges.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can this muppet pitch the ball up for once

 

[Taylor]

It looks harder to swing it when you pitch it short..

 

[Coasters7]

Hope India bats for 2 days followed by us batting for 2 days and day 5 being washed out

 

[Xtreme]

Why aren't they surrounding the batsmen with all fielders again ?

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Glad we're not facing Bumrah this morning

As the toss, l'm sure Bumrah would’ve thought, green top and overcast conditions that l could clean up here and get a 6 or 7 for....
But l can understand him bowling first...

 

[Cataholic]

Pitch it up!!!!!

 

[grumbleguts]

Starc's late tests are poo. Jaiswal is the luckiest batsman alive and water is wet.

 

[danielnajdek]

Wtf is this bowling from Starc

 

[k31th]

very good delivery there beating Rahul's edge...

Lab's leggies are OK for part-time, offies almost the same. His medium bouncer barrage is no-time bowling.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Boland must be livid seeing this shit.

 

[windyhill]

This series will be remembered for a few things, one of them being for the amount of playing and missing, both teams.
Unbelievable how many times it’s happened.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Seriously if it’s missing the bat by a foot pitch it up not rocket science

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good catch

 

[LukeParkerno1]

About time

 

[StillAtLarge]

What a soft dismissal

 

[ABAB]

Shit get wicket......lol.

 

[k31th]

fell right into the trap nicely done Starc, Konstas and Cummins for the decision.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahahaha Sammy

 

[Struggle]

Rohit would have done better than that

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Phwoooar!!!

That’s a gift wicket.
