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

Bit unlucky

Jaiswal caught one

 

[Greasyrhys]

Terrible shot, marnus is finished. Pressure will be on Smith now

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Where else was that ball going to go Marnus ffs

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Marnus record isn’t so good now that fielders aren’t dropping him 3 or 4 times per innings

 

[Lunchtime]

Regardless of what happens in this game results wise....its fair to say Australia's batting is still brittle and has been for a few years. Changes need to take place over the next few years (even this year).

It can't be ignored.

 

[peternorth]

Well sure, if it becomes a habit.

How many times has he done it?

Averages one an innings

 

[ams4crows]

How can people be angry at Konstas when Labs is this horrifically out of form that he legit spoon fed the fielder

 

[Bucking Beads]

That’s embarrassing from Marnus. He’s done that more than once this series. A lazy one day shot when there’s a gully in place. What is he trying to achieve ffs

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Amazing how Smith has never had a 2nd innings ton.

 

[Acinath]

Some of our bats are in horrendous form

 

[Neese]

5 runs Smithy

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Gulp.

 

[Borisdog]

I genuinely hope we are not going to reproduce the first innings suicide batting with 2.5 days to get 110.

 

[Gough]

You should be banished from the team for that shot.

Thanks Damian.

 

[SC_Power]

Well it’s slightly different considering he wouldn’t open but Maxy was always shit canned by posters here about playing test cricket due to the shots he plays.

It’s got to be demoralising for any shield cricketer who opens the batting and has put in years of hard work to get overlooked by McSweeney who isn’t an opener or having Konstas get out with mindless slots.

What, like the 21/22 shield cricketer of the year, went on a Aus A tour with a ton in SL, and now leads the shield aggregates this year with most centuries?

 

[Cringle]

I’m almost done with Marnus.

If he can’t make runs in Sri Lanka and Windies. I wouldn’t have him for the first Ashes test next summer.

[MJG14]

Seeing Kohli carrying on like a flog made it worse.

 

[DamoESP]

Ok Smudge, let’s finish this

 

[Andrew Mc]

Catching practice there. Prefer what Konstas did to that.

 

[RandB]

Another quick wicket here and India are up and about.

I stand with you

 

[western royboy]

Back Spasms, but it may well be a bit of spin to hide a worse injury

Stress Fracture…had a cortisone injection but hasn’t settled enough to bowl (usually takes a full 24-36 hours)

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

They need to keep the runs ticking and not let the bowlers get set.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Lab loves giving away his charity wicket.
