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

[ABAB]

Was arguing with mates yesterday who know a lot more about cricket than I do, that it's best it ignore whatever any commentator tells you about a pitch.

All we heard was how good it was going to be to bat on.

Have you seen the last 3 wickets.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Yeah I don't see Australia winning this, or even getting close.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I brought this scenario up yesterday. How is this any different to Smiths? Fingers under the ball but it definitely touched a blade of grass at some point.

Obviously not saying this one’s not out but it highlights how ridiculous yesterday was

Interesting how Joel didn't want to see hundreds of different angles before making up his mind

 

[skipper kelly]

give you a break? his voice sounds nice, it's just a statement of fact. it may be the bare minimum but plenty don't, have you had the pleasure of listening to justin langer or david warner this summer?

I stabbed my ear drums.

 

[Bedi]

They’re going to score 450 now aren’t they

we can't let them get to a good start, otherwise there's that danger

 

[010203]

Good debut knock by Beau Webster.

 

[MJG14]

This is the SCG, where's the rain!?

 

[Westend]

Well batted Beau Webster.

Unfortunately I reckon we’re going to lose this test and draw the series

Not over yet

 

[Moonwatcher]

20% of the runs there

 

[TasSixer]

Don't know why India weren't playing Prasidh earlier

Twice in two series against them we've had one hand on the trophy and choked it away

****ing hell campaigner, it’s the first innings. Bumrah might be cooked and even with the worst case scenario, India will have a lead of fifteen odd. Calm down boss

 

[skipper kelly]

This is not a push and prod pitch.

 

[Coasters7]

PATHETIC BATTING, is that 8 wickets lost caught behind this innings?

Can’t do much about it. India have been very lucky that ours have all caught the bat. They would’ve been all out for 50 had they had the luck we’ve had

 

[troybe]

SuperScott to the rescue

It will be in half an hour

 

[dumb]

they lose their best bowler and we give up the ghost

best we can hope for is the mental scarring from the lyon boland partnership last test.

 

[Speck]

Good debut knock by Beau Webster.

Saved our bacon here

 

[Cmarsh]

Boland and lyon able to recreate their second innings at the G?

Its a darn good bowling pitch.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Right out of the Manual Scotty.

He’s missed it by a foot.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Boland will face 90 balls for a brilliant Quiney Niney and get Webster to his ton...lol

Wish I didn't say that.

 

[SSwans2011]

Hold your head up, Webster. A great innings and he's unfortunately been completely let down by our senior players.

Game still well and truly on pending Bumrah's fitness but it's becoming tough now.

 

[skipper kelly]

It's over. Australian cricket is dead.

 

[southern_crusher]

We ain't gonna be able to chase down anything more than about 120.

 

[Mister B]

Only positive is some extra bounce for our quicks.

We won’t use it. Will waste it bowling the wrong line and length with the exception of Boland.
