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

[Moonwatcher]

Jaiswal caught one

 

[smasha]

Smith and Head in.
Cmon.

 

[troybe]

Shot Trav

 

[Iceman!]

Ahead? They're wrecking us now.

We only had to last four ****ing days.

We are one good partnership from getting close. They are ahead probably but it’s pretty even.

 

[JimmyBC]

Lovely shot Head

 

[apollo_creed]

unlucky getting caught by jaiswal

All the other mishits, plays and misses, hitting it with the bottom of the bat etc probably counteracts that.

 

[Borisdog]

But cricket can't have that.
Can't have a team incentivised to chat during the run in, knowing at worst, the batsman will pull out and be distracted.

Umpires have to stamp it out before it happens more than once.

It's been going on forever.

The yap happens. If they're yapping when the bowler's running in you step away.

There's not an umpire in any grade won't tell the fielding side to shut up when the bowler's running in.

Any other time it's fine. As long as it's not personal/abusive.

 

[Outtatym]

Shot Trav

 

[dumb]

a couple of 50 partnerships and we're just about there

 

[Magma]

You can’t ramp if there is a third man you campaigners

ramp harder

 

[Xtreme]

Getting out to that plonker

Siraj is a better bowler than people give him credit for, people are just piling on due to his heated passion/mood swings.

Konstas isn't up to it, got sucked in by Bumrah's playful banter and there's only so much a BBL style approach to test cricket can take you. He's not going to be a career test player.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Ok what’ll it be today Trav, single figures or a 100 ball ton.

 

[Xtreme]

YOU BEAUTY SIRAJ

 

[CakeEater]

Ruh roh

 

[hawkman]

His ramp shots are more sound than his driving

 

[Magma]

**** sake. seriously

 

[Gethelred]

... that was a nigh perfect ball to a leftie, and Head just whipped it off his pads for 4.

 

[nurries]

Game over

 

[new breed]

Cooper Connolly next youngster in I reckon.

 

[peternorth]

FFS

 

[Southerntakeover]

We are one good partnership from getting close. They are ahead probably but it’s pretty even.

Have you never watched this team before?

 

[Moonwatcher]

In Beau we trust!

 

[fusion]

Have big doubts about Konstas tbh...

It's an unsustainable technique. It's going to be tiring if 4 matches from now, his debut innings is still his highest score, and he's averaging 10.

 

[Plugger35]

Head gone too.

Big pressure on Webster now on debut.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Bloody batting line up.
