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

[BG32]

Pitch starting to really flatten and Bumrah cooked. Pity we are 6 down

 

[Cleavy]

We've gone from a 50+ lead to any lead now.

maybe not even a lead. tail can't bail us out everytime

 

[BGman]

Carey slow covering his off stump last two balls of his innings.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

I just can’t get my head around whether Carey is a decent bat or not. Sometimes he looks like the only bloke capable of keeping his head, other times he plays like that and looks ridiculously average.

 

[RandB]

Cummins due for a low score?

 

[dumb]

Carey's been figured out. Do your thing Pat.

 

[RandB]

maybe not even a lead. tail can't bail us out everytime

True

 

[imagifED]

Our two most solid batters at the crease right now. Joking.

 

[Westend]

wasn't even close to putting bat on that

playing down the wrong line not tight enough in defence ..it a issue

 

[Kapow!!!]

We've gone from a 50+ lead to any lead now.

With the pitch drying and flattening in time for India's second innings it's actually pretty vital that Australia gets a triple digit lead really and that's looking like a very, very long way from happening.

 

[manureid]

Not sure what Alex is trying to do there with that shot. He really is bad between bat and pad

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

The relentless adds, the cross promotion, the worst commemtary team in years and the corporate charity theme make this a tough watch at times.

 

[western royboy]

Poor ol' skipper has to do it again.

As opposed to the Test Debutant who’s been gifted an easy start to his Test batting career

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Bumrah may have a groin injury.From Indian sources
Leg up with ice pack.
Tests over for India if he cant return to the field.

Debilitating for a fast bowler. If true he's done.

 

[Pistol Night]

I just can’t get my head around whether Carey is a decent bat or not. Sometimes he looks like the only bloke capable of keeping his head, other times he plays like that and looks ridiculously average.

Seems to be a wicket keeper thing. Hard to do both well unless you’re a freak

Basically hits 10 or so either way of his average nearly every Innings

[Bucking Beads]

Utter trash from Carey. I’m so sick of these blokes not knowing how to defend a straight one.

 

[Outtatym]

Cummins due for a low score?

Why would you say this

 

[Matera92]

Weak by Carey, had every warning how the bowler was going to try and get him out and still fell for it.

 

[adogsfan5]

The Indian supporters must be shitting in their thread somewhere today the flogs

Plenty of them on X hoping for a “Phil Hughes incident” to occur on Konstas.
Some of the most putrid shit I’ve read.

 

[revo333]

When's the rain coming?

 

[Kuuz]

I just can’t get my head around whether Carey is a decent bat or not. Sometimes he looks like the only bloke capable of keeping his head, other times he plays like that and looks ridiculously average.

Even odder is his state form has been amazing. One of the best batters in Shield this season (albeit not a huge number of matches).

He's not been awful this series - but when asked to do a solo batting job, he's not really done enough. He's not been our worst performer, but he's not risen to the occassion either. With Inglis sniffing right behind him (albeit injured), I would have thought he was well positioned to make a better play of it.

Pretty disappointed that his innings has fizzled out again.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Time for a captain’s 50 - thanks

 

[Westend]

Seems to be a wicket keeper thing. Hard to do both well unless you’re a freak

well we do have one but he is injured with a lower calf

He’s gotta go. Our batting has been dreadful and it’s the basics that we’re doing poorly
