Lucky there was no edge on that hat trick ball…

Would've been funny

 

[FreoRicci]

Warne/Lee/Gillespie/McGrath/Clark will always be in our hearts but Cummins/Starc/Hazelwood/Lyon/Boland is a close second.

Mitchell Johnson never had a support cast. If he was younger with Starc, holy crap

Thank **** he didn’t nick it for Carey’s sake

Had he nicked it Carey would’ve caught it

 

[eddiesmith]

So is there anything Boland can do to be in the

best 11? Or no matter what he does is reliant on a retirement?

Move to NSW

 

[peternorth]

F-wit on ch7 talking about hazelwood coming back in for boland

Who said that

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

To be fair the shot he played this time around was probably on

Largely agree, except he didn't seem to want to keep it down - on a track doing a bit trying to go over the field wasn't really on. I know its his style, but at the top level you need to play to conditions and situation.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Webster deserves a wicket

 

[EDFL follower]

Indians are horrible runners between the wickets especially Pant who is slow and Washington who has very poor game sense

 

[Topkent]

We have a great recent history of dropping in over 30s bowlers who dominate
Clark, Harris and Boland all dominated debuting late

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Decent depth when you have Sundar at no.8

Nothing after him though

Shiraz somehow has a promotion

 

[Costanza_]

Is there any more likeable bloke in this country than this absolute Chad?

 

[smasha]

Proud of our Victorian.
Wish Bill Lawry was commentating.

 

[JimmyBC]

This Webster guy is lollipop pace how can you be that big and bowl like a grandma?

 

[The Sultan]

Who said that

The ones that not JB

 

[Plugger35]

Boland nearly joining the long line of Vic bowlers to take a test hat trick, Merv, Warne, Fleming and Siddle.

Hastings and McGain very unlucky, they struggled to take a wicket let alone 3 in a row.

Hardly him
Would have a go at Kohli for going yet again at 5th-7th stump. It’s ridiculous how easy it is

 

[eddiesmith]

Would've been funny

No, but be the first time Victorians and West Australians agreed on something!!!

 

[Jimthegreat]

Webster looks so much faster when it hits the bat, then you look at it is just 125k.

Given 10 good pressure overs so far.

 

[The Lobbster]

The issue with Indias lack of scoring rears its head. Lose a few wickets and suddenly the big partnership is kinda useless because they didn’t score.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

This Webster guy is lollipop pace how can you be that big and bowl like a grandma?

You'd hate to see him bowling his offies then

 

[Cataholic]

Gonna be annoying if Beau finally gets a wicket only to be told he's bowled another no-ball

 

[PhatBoy]

Pant. Just cannot help himself. Forget Rohit, the BCCI should have a word with him. Once he goes, he puts the team under pressure.

Yeah he’s the one they need to have a chat with about not being able to help himself. The guy who’s just played a pretty run of the mill pull shot that he just mis-timed a bit after 90 minutes of being hit all over his body with every commentator questioning why he was being so defensive.

Not the guy in his mid 30s averaging 32 over the last 5 years who can’t leave a ball alone outside off stump no matter how telegraphed the opposition plan is.

Pant is their biggest issue.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Get behind the bloody crease Beau or your first wicket is going to be reversed for a no ball.

Warne/Lee/Gillespie/McGrath/Clark will always be in our hearts but Cummins/Starc/Hazelwood/Lyon/Boland is a close second.

I'm sad we never got Lee/Tait/Johnson together if not just for the pure chaos.
