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

[Gethelred]

That was a "don't bowl there" shot.

 

[SportsCentre]

sending Siraj home at 6 an over is delicious

 

[10Dulkar]

Howie saying credit to the selectors when they persisted with M Marsh for far too long

 

[Pistol Night]

Yep, I was talking about this last summer too.
He tends to talk almost exclusively about cricket, crazy for a cricket commentator.

Punter is awesome as you'd expect with his resume

 

[Gak Attack]

Might have been too late but credit to the selectors finally dropping Marsh. Very likely game could have gone the other way with Marsh in.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

NO POSTER IS TO GO TO THE TOILET UNTIL THE MATCH IS OVER.​

What about beer?

 

[Iceman!]

Wouldn't have been easy to drop Marsh?

Commentators still on the Marsh Kool aid

 

[Tassieboy]

You could make a case that Webster should be in the team ahead of Marnus?

 

[ams4crows]

Webster stays in the side he's been excellent and looks composed, looks better and more comfortable than Green ever has.

Hell send him up to three!

 

[Bazza5]

Who is MotM? Webster a chance on debut?

 

[fuic08]

Credit to the selectors Howie reckons.

 

[hugecannon]

We were down Green as well.

And we picked Marsh for 4 tests as well, so really playing with 10 men.

 

[Westend]

This is all over.

Can't help but wonder what would have happened if Bunrah was fit to bowl here, he would have taken a few wickets at least.

yup

 

[King Elvis]

Watching the Indian fielders pull up early (like half way, two thirds) and let their gofer field the ball for them at the boundary - doesn't look right. It's just not cricket. Makes them look a bit feeble or defeated imo.

Why is this allowed anyway?

It's giving their fielders a break from running and throwing, it shouldn't be happening.

 

[Cataholic]

This is going to be so sweet.

I despise this Indian team, and none moreso than Kohli and Siraj.

I want to see Konstas sprint out and run at the Indian team jumping and waving.

 

[peternorth]

Yep, I was talking about this last summer too.
He tends to talk almost exclusively about cricket, crazy for a cricket commentator.

WHAT YOU mean no discussions about what their favourite pizzas are?

 

[HirdyLannister]

Not sure which team I hate more between the poms and the Indians.

Both smug arrogant whinging campaigners.

Not surprising, they're both British

 

[ptrg]

Don't care if Webster makes 4 golden ducks in SL, he's there for the final in Pomland

 

[GreekLunatic]

Virat should come on to bowl

 

[tugga]

I haven’t watched or listened to 7 once therefore have not heard a word from langer.
I’m intrigued and temped to switch over.

 

[DaTBird187]

Webster is giving us all a lot of



God....how annoying was Nikki Webster.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Kohli loses the Gavaskar trophy. Poetic.

 

[Gak Attack]

Who is MotM? Webster a chance on debut?

Boland easy

 

[Wallaby]

Still thr greatest ODI ever.

Hmmm - being unbiased, I think the Eng-NZ WC final has that covered as the best ever.
1. It's the World Cup Final.
2. It ended in a tie (2 ties, actually including the Super Over).
3. Heaps of controversy - overthrows etc.
4. Incredibly close calls in the last overs - Boult stepping on the rope, outfield throw haitting the bat and deflecting for overthrows.

The only thing that might prevent it being the 'greatest ODI ever' is the lame-arse rule they used to award the trophy to England.

 

[Cataholic]

Siraj off the ground to sook.
