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

[Speck]

Nothing in this series plays out how it is looking.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I’ll ask again, why are you trying to get the total inside 40 overs?

YOU HAVE CLOSE TO TWO DAYS FFS.

 

[Gough]

Come on Beau lad, winning runs here would make a perfect debut.

 

[Andrew Mc]

I don't recall them stopping the ball before the rope.

Yeah, have seen it a few times. No major issue with it, but probably best to let it hit the rope...

 

[JOELY]

I don't recall them stopping the ball before the rope.

Nah i've noticed it quite a few times. Not a big deal but surely they could ask them to wait half a second for it to hit the rope to make sure.

 

[RookiePick]

Noooo. Usman has opened the door again.

 

[ROOTA#6]

Could see something like that happening a mile off. Every time things seemed settled it changes

 

[swingdog]

Can we have a thread moratorium on people saying things like "Ussie looks set today."

 

[RandB]

Obsessed with getting the runs in the next 5 minutes. Why Ussie?

 

[SC_Power]

Can't take your eyes off this series*


*unless you've gone to the toilet ofc

Or online ordering a series win greatest ever limited edition signed bat….

 

[Topkent]

A Khawaja red ink and retirement would be nice today.

 

[cats_09]

Usman had been playing so well with a straight bat - not are he needed to swat at one across the line like that

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Every time it looks like we are cruising someone goes out

 

[Scorpus]

Webster averages 57 at Test level so we should be right

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I generally don't care too much about what Tom says, but the stats around Marnus's summer surely gives the coaches something to think about

He’s been dogshit for two years.

 

[magpie_marty]

How is it cheating?

Saves the fieldsman energy running to the boundary to collect the ball.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Webster to get the winning run

 

[Pistol Night]

Can we have a thread moratorium on people saying things like "Ussie looks set today."

Everyone needs to say "were ****ed". We play better then

 

[10Dulkar]

The silly mid-on takes me back to Hoggard to Hayden back in the day.

 

[Westend]

I generally don't care too much about what Tom says, but the stats around Marnus's summer surely gives the coaches something to think about

yup just not sustainable

 

[King Elvis]

Usman, seriously, what the ****.

 

[peternorth]

I like how he said "might be Australias best choice No3, but he may not be"

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

What’s all that squawking out there sounds like a pack of seagulls

 

[iDon]

That's literally what I said in my post.

I've seen your posting, you understand nuance. Try not to let your irrational hatred of a 19-year-old who has done nothing worth being hated over get in the way of that.

No irrational hatred here, just don't agree with the excessive praise for a kid who looks out of his depth when we have turned on every other player who has come in the past and done similar.

Being 19 isn't a pass for lasting 3.5 overs and 11 overs when our batsman below him can really struggle against a moving ball.

His strike rate was a strategy. Even if it didn't work putting his head down and applying himself was the right decision.
