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

[RandB]

Boland such a great effort to get us to this point.

Batsmen need to get it done now.
Ussie to anchor.

 

[F6Typhoon]

Time for Head to come to the party this innings! Really see him as the key

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

What a humble bastard.

 

[TigerCraig]

Bumrah didn't wanna bar of being out there lol

 

[Speck]

Now watch Boland be left out of the first match next test series.....

Given Cummins isn't playing he is a lock.

He finishes this series with an average of 13.19. Bumrah is 13.06. Absolutely ridiculous, he can't be dropped regardless of who is fit.

 

[darcytiger]

Surely he moves Hazelwood to backup fast bowler now? Can’t keep this guy out. So reliable

 

[Headless]

Australia win easily without Bumrah bowling....

Could still be a draw.

 

[kickazz]

Got the wickets before Starc could get carted

 

[10Dulkar]

Love how genuinely happy Cummins looks for Boland and how happy Boland was coming off to that reception. Then the humility and awareness to say he'll be a lot happier if they get the 160. Worth making a film about I reckon!

 

[dogs105]

The next time an injured fast bowler says they're fit enough to get through, can we please think about it a little more?

 

[scottywiper]

This is gonna be challenging. Ball was doing so much this morning. Fingers crossed Bumrah doesn't bowl....if he does it might get ugly.

 

[swanssince2002]

Head and Konstas might as well go down swinging really. A bit of hope that Head heats up and just tonks it to all places...

 

[makethat2]

ABC with the stat. Australia have dropped 15 catches this series….Smith with 7 of them

He's been dropping alot of catches for a while now but the media just haven't caught up to the fact yet.

 

[troybe]

160 to get off about 260 overs should be easy

 

[Anzacpaul]

Given Cummins isn't playing he is a lock.

He finishes this series with an average of 13.19. Bumrah is 13.06. Absolutely ridiculous, he can't be dropped regardless of who is fit.

Australian selectors

"Hold my cup of Earl Grey".

 

[Coasters7]

21 wickets for the series is crazy work for only playing half of it

 

[charcoalchicken]

Boland is currently Australia’s best bowler imo

 

[Ekomaira]

gonna be an interesting chase

 

[The Defender]

Great captaincy from Cummings, only bowled Starc for 4 overs in total after getting a shellacking.

Still unsure if our batters are in enough form to get this done.

 

[Mick F]

Send in Starc early to swing big

You think Konstas gets bogged down?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

We will make these runs 6 down

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Going to be over and be almost sober lol

Key word there boys

 

[Lunchtime]

Boland

Averages 12 at home, 132 away…..

Stay home Scott

He averages 52.86 outside Australia....

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The pitch has had two rolls in an hour

Hopefully settles it down a fraction

Also now that the pitch is a bit older and rougher hopefully the ball ages quicker than it has in the other innings.

 

[RAPPA]

Starc offers nothing other than pies. If Hazlewood is fit then the lineup is sufficient with Cummins, Hazlewood and Boland. A left arm pie distributor won’t make a difference.
