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

Any threat of Bumrah staying on the field after bowling?

It's a joke. They need to bring in a rule.

 

[Pistol Night]

I won't be sold on him till I see his ramp shot.

Yeah as a traditionalist also he needs to work on a solid rear defensive ramp for 6

 

[Black Diamond]

Webster looks good. We just need batters to stay out there with him.

Don’t worry, 8-11 are in decent form.

 

[NSWCROW]

Notice that huge cloud formation out in the distance on that drone shot just then ?...



Watch for the wind change

 

[troybe]

That’s a classic

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Alex hit the cover off that.

 

[Struggle]

Why is that guy picking up the ball before it hits the rope

 

[Plugger35]

Surprised Shane Watson wasn't on that nervous 90s list, I remember him getting out in the 90s a lot along with reviewing plumb lbws.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Who was on that list of players dismissed in their 9,990s?

Smith, Cook, Lara, Jayawardene and Jimthegreat...lol.

​

 

[TigerCraig]

He always seemed to get a hundred and then figure that was enough and would rather be at the races. Off his pads or anywhere square he was beautiful to watch

Supposedly he couldn't remember anything much about an innings once it was done, whereas Steve could reconstruct his whole innings ball by ball

 

[Pistol Night]

I think the only thing thing to take this match up an another notch us to accuse Bumrah of taking PEDs.

When you can bowl 140km/h leg breaks like Warney he must be on something insane

 

[Westend]

Shot carey

 

[ABAB]

Our top order couldn't even last 20 overs in sunny condition for the pitch to flatten on day 2 when India had to bat for virtually an entire day on a fresh green pitch and cloudy condition day 1.

 

[Bazza5]

Why is that guy picking up the ball before it hits the rope

Wondered the same thing. I’ve seen this a bit but never knew why it was done?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Any threat of Bumrah staying on the field after bowling?

Everyone takes the piss doing that these days.

Just change the rules. Automatic 5 over ban or overs missed while off whatever is greater.

 

[Black Diamond]

I’ve either watched too many Saints games or had too many beers because I keep thinking “Jimmy Webster”.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I used to be able to do that. Normally, it was something similar to "left a wide one ; played and missed at a wide one ; forward defence missed, off stump hit".

 

[ams4crows]

Webster has been so good maybe when Green comes back Green can bat at 3

They usually go hand in hand. Can’t watch StKilda sober

Watch for the wind change

It's just building at the moment. Needs a westerly to do anything which isn't on the cards

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Webster needs to settle and get himself in again

 

[peternorth]

Just calm down slug

 

[Moonwatcher]

Webster started his shield career at 3, food for thought.

 

[TigerCraig]

Sounds like one of my sons innings, except a hack over cow instead of the forward defence

Beau looking decidedly less composed post-lunch.
