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

[Kuuz]

Remarkable Bumrah hasn’t shown any strain despite the huge number of overs he’s now bowled across the series.

They’re playing him almost constantly

 

[TigerCraig]

McGrath at Lords. Alderman v Gooch.

Warne v Cullinan

 

[Burro]

When did he do that?

Just before he got those wickets. About 2nd or 3rd over. Watch the replay it is very obvious.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

The sun is having no influence on the pitch

Needs more time

 

[smasha]

You can cut the tension with a knife.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I don't think iv ever fell like this to any other bowler iv watched with Bumrah is he going to take a wicket with every bowl

Was thinking the same thing. It's actually ridiculous.

 

[Pistol Night]

Warne v Cullinan

Flintoff V Gilly 2005

 

[Struggle]

Mitchell Johnson 2013-14 Ashes?

Only half of his. The other half were threatening to take heads off

 

[Southerntakeover]

Remarkable Bumrah hasn’t shown any strain despite the huge number of overs he’s now bowled across the series.

They’re playing him almost constantly

He seemed to have very significantly worn down by the end of the last test. We'd see how he was going better if we could stop collapsing our innings in the first session every time.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I’ve seen enough, this Webster lad can play…question is, why wasn’t he in the side 3 matches ago?

 

[Kapow!!!]

Yeah I feel like that was a lot further away from Short leg than Isa originally thought it was...

 

[foxdog50]

Mitchell Johnson 2013-14 Ashes?

Yeah that's close, maybe even when he was against South Africa. But Bumrah feels better then that ( unfortunately)

 

[Gethelred]

You can trash a pitch inside of 3 days based on a previous result if you need to.

But if you're preparing a 3.5 day pitch because it always rains in Sydney, you absolutely cannot turn that into a road within 3 days, cos the curators have been preparing that test pitch since the footy season finished.



Are you seriously comparing a test pitch that's been in preparation for 3 months with the pitch at your local ground that the groundsman desperately tries to cobble together on a week-to-week basis?

Doesn't sound like you could manage the grass in your own backyard, let alone on a cricket pitch.

I look forward to your three page pamphlet on how people on the internet shouldn't be trusted with pitch curation, and how only you can explose the FRAUD.

Should be a ripper read, once you get down to Officeworks.

 

[peternorth]

Pathetic how the channel seven commentators aren’t baking the Indians for their carry on. We would cook our own if they charged the r opposition batsmen like they have. Must be nice to be on the IPL payroll. Justin Langer is a weak weak little garden gnome

I dont remember the last time our boys did that

 

[Pistol Night]

I’ve seen enough, this Webster lad can play…question is, why wasn’t he in the side 3 matches ago?

Bison was "up and about"

 

[V_23]

Webster a Pies fan!?

Bring back Marsh!

 

[RandB]

Webster needs a double century here

That requires the others staying in too unfortunately.

 

[peternorth]

Bison was "up and about"

Was a great jokester in the change rooms

 

[outabounds]

Refreshing to see Webster batting like he is taking this seriously unlike the freakshow that is Konstas.

[Plugger35]

So Webster is a Collingwood supporter.

I guess I will have to stop liking him now.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Webster showing good temperament. Not overawed by the perilous situation Australia are in.

Nice shot!

 

[Pistol Night]

Webster a Pies fan!?

Bring back Marsh!

I knew this bloke had something

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Did I mis-hear or did Kerry O'Keefe just make a King Kong joke regarding Bumrah in front of Isa Guha?

Surely that didn't just happen.

 

[Tassieboy]

I’ve seen enough, this Webster lad can play…question is, why wasn’t he in the side 3 matches ago?

Because he isn’t a good enough bloke

 

[Shaunbkk]

The lack of openers making a case is a thing, and he may be better than most Australians on slower decks in SL and WI. I can see him going to SL, then being replaced if somebody piles on runs in the final Shield games.
Lab has got enough 60s over the series to retain a spot, again given a lack of #3 options as well.

Nobody is really in form, maybe Head despite today, but the options aren't exactly putting forward compelling cases either.
By Sydney next summer - even the WI series - the top six may look very different (a fit Green comes in for somebody, presumably Webster).

Head? Despite today? you missed the Melbourne test Webster a better bat than a couple in the team Green may not be better?
