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

I can see that Aristotle Pickett is well loved on this board too.

No senior player is going to cop it from young players. What world do you live in where this happens? I have no issue with any of it. It’s great theatre.

didn't look like konstas started it at all.

Bumrah seemed to crack into him first, and Sammy stood up for himself and told Bumrah to get back to his mark.

zero issues with that at all. Don't want the chirp, don't offer it in the first instance.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Looking forward to the pitch flattening out tomorrow and Konstas replicating Michael Clarke’s triple century knock at the SCG against India 12 years ago.

 

[Young Redleg]

Just like Michael Clarke telling opposition players to get ready for a broken swearword arm...

Swings and roundabouts

Lol he said that to James Anderson (who was around Clarke's age) after he threatened to punch George Bailey in the face. Slightly different circumstances.

I have no issue, but a senior pro losing his cool, his match fee, and demerit point to a debutant is embarrassing. I live in a world where a 35 yo senior layer dropping his bundle at a 19 yo debutant is highly embarrassing, what world do you live in?

I don’t think in the heat of the moment any pro sportsman checks the age of someone. From Bumrahs point of view it may as well been Steve Smith.
The Kohli incident was totally different to a bit of verbal banter that we saw today. I am on record saying he should been suspended. But purely for the what he did not because it was Sam.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

not sure what game you are watching. Indian openers lasted longer than Khawaja did............. It's not far apart at all at the moment, and it won't be until the pitch dries out further............Bumrah could tear us a new one in the first 2 sessions tomorrow.

Don't forget what happened in Perth.......

Adding dots doesn’t make what you say more profound.

Batting first - as a choice - and making under 200 is a fail.

Bumrah might, but he’ll need to as otherwise we’ll have a decent lead. Who knows, may that’s alright maybe Siraj will live up to his promise too, but they’ll need to, because they are well behind

Agree it was great theatre. I had no issue with either of them. Ussie on the other hand was the issue.

Sad state of affairs for Indian cricket if experienced players like Kohli and Bumrah are going after a [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] year old kid

Not this kid garbage again.
He is legally an adult.. his age is irrelevant…

cause and effect.

Cause: James Anderson threatened to hit George Bailey.

Effect: Was told to expect a broken arm.

No Cause, No Effect.

I don't have a real problem with Konstas but I am involved in alot of kids and local sport and this kind of behaviour and Kohl's will filter down.

The difference at Test level is they get on with the game but at lower emotions spill over and it can real ugly between players, umpires, parents and supporters.

It’s disingenuous to put the behaviour of Konstas and Kohli on the same level…pure sophistry

Kohli walked up to a debutante and shoulder charged him…I’ve never seen that in 4 decades of Teat cricket

If you lack the nuance to separate that from some kid being annoying, then you’re part of the problem

Checks the age? What are you on about? Senior players are expected- rightly so - to be more mature.

Who is ‘us’? Why pretend you’re an Australian cricket fan?

 

[Gavin Excell]

They are miles behind. Bumrah will need to. Choosing to bat first and being out for under 200 is a fail. If Australia were in the same position this board would collapse.

Not miles behind at all
2 early tomorrow and india right back in it

Cool. Quote me tomorrow if you’d like.

He physically assaulted a teenager on a Teat cricket field…don’t be a lickspittle

If Australia were bowled out on day 1 for 185, how would you say they were going?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Richmond arseh*le

That, we can certainly agree on

 

[beatnik]

Not miles behind at all
2 early tomorrow and india right back in it

If and when they get 2 early ones tomorrow, they’ll be right back in it…until then they are behind

Not good

No Cause, No Effect.

You let your actions talk on the field
Bumrah shut the young hot shot up by bowling out his partner. Bumrah won the battle, Konstas will lose the war and go back to the bush leagues soon enough.

 

[Gavin Excell]

If and when they get 2 early ones tomorrow, they’ll be right back in it…until then they are behind

This is correct

 

[Linda Lovelace]

I knew you'd be and up about, Alyssa.

Starcy's last game, 1-111: 'bUt hE aCkShuaLlY bOwLed WeLl'

This game: 'I'll focus on the figures and just ignore all the pies he bowled and how he looked like a serious potential liability if not for facing a shitty, collapsing side on a green wicket.'

Nobody doubted he could potentially jag some wickets. The gamble has barely paid off so far. Let's wait to see if that holds in innings 2.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Fascinating first hour tomorrow
Could decide the game
