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

[Stan_Darsh72]

We won this test in Melbourne by making Bumrah bowl more than he ever had before

Bumrah's reaction to batting again in Melbourne sums up this India side.

One man worked his arse off and the old timers let him down.

My boy has a test average in the 90s, and he has a test wicket.

Time to give it away?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Didn’t even need to doctor a pitch to get a series result like they did in Ahmedabad.

Just totally outplayed them since Perth, deserving 3-1 win

 

[Redline]

Feels like they are skaking hands with everyone in the ground. Keeps going.

 

[Vice]

How long did Vaughn have that boring stat on overs bowled in his back pocket.

 

[ABAB]

We’ve unearthed a couple of handy players. I feel that’s the end of Labuschagne too.

Green straight in for him.

Get rid of that shit flick cut shot.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

He's 34. Our bowlers are notable for how durable they've been; Shami has spent significant time on the sidelines through injury.

We also hear rather a lot about India's depth. Not as deep as they'd tell you it seems.

34, is quite young compared to some of our bowlers, lol

He will be playing in the series against England, so we will see there how much he was missed here..

Kohli
You absolute flog.........

he lost the absolute plot this series. His antics after Smith went out were woeful

 

[Neese]

Is Webster shedding a tear?
So good.

Can’t we just celebrate this hugely significant win without calling for people to be dropped FFS

 

[GreekLunatic]

After our crap showing in Perth this has been a great comeback from the team

 

[magpie_marty]

So happy we won but I can't stop thinking what may have happened if Bumrah was fit and bowling.

 

[Headless]

JB!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The important thing is that India don't have to decide which of their series captains would accept the trophy

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Good win. Would've been an interesting chase if Bumrah was there

 

[nobbyiscool]

Didn’t even need to doctor a pitch to get a series result like they did in Ahmedabad.

Just totally outplayed them since Perth, deserving 3-1 win

I think it's a bit closed minded to assume that these wickets didn't heavily favour our bowlers, India were very lucky to have an all time freak who also made use of them.

 

[Struggle]

We should give a stump to the match referee from Boxing Day who didn't suspend Kohli

A batter who was capable of contributing something may have been the difference

 

[revo333]

As someone who has quietly pushed Beau's credentials in here for a while, I'm currently feeling quite snug.....err smug.

My father wanted him in the team 2 years ago.

 

[sherb]

My boy has a test average in the 90s, and he has a test wicket.

Time to give it away?

And he's averaging 2 catches per Test over his career.......

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Webster justifying his selection with a quality debut. Looks a much better batsman than Marsh and contributes like an all rounder should with the ball. Took 2 tests too long IMO but the right decision was made. Marsh shouldn't play Test cricket again unless both Webster and Green are unavailable.

 

[Gough]

Feels like they are skakng hands with everyone in the ground. Keeps going.

We're a long way from the support staff being limited to Symo and Errol Alcott.

 

[NSWCROW]

Boys a bit thirsty ??

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Is Webster shedding a tear?
So good.

He’s good on the mic.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Bit disappointing seeing keyboard warriors choosing to bash a great of the game rather than revel in a great win and a great series.

I've been to the Snug tav!

 

[Southerntakeover]

Should've known that Travvy batting against India with a trophy on the line is money
