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

[Bedi]

boys will be getting thirsty

 

[Iamspock]

Virat should come on to bowl

And one of them smack it right back at him in the gob.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

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

Am I allowed to refill my ???

EDIT: A timely drinks break

 

[Iceman!]

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

Selectors were not perfect but did make some tough choices and got them right in the end.

 

[King Elvis]

Yeah but it will still be Bumrah....his influence has been huge

fully fit Bumrah this innings with a lead of 200...india would've been favourites

Which Test did Hazelwood not bowl second innings due to injury?

We've had bad luck too - and we clearly had a strategy to try and cook Bumrah; which they did.

 

[peternorth]

The pitch has really settled down, too green to start so Bumrah really should have bowled under those cloud condition.

Will know more about the pitch after both teams have batted twice on it

 

[RookiePick]

The Beauson steadying the ship.

The Bison out the back getting the Ol' Yeller treatment.

 

[Outtatym]

3 - 1 series win won't do the series justice

Should have been 4-1 really

 

[Andrew Mc]

So Kholi’s strategy with Bumrah injured is just to bowl Siraj and Krishna and use a part timer to allow them to change ends?

Yeah, inspired captaincy.

 

[freo_leo29]

Possibly. I'd love to see what Boland could do on a pitch in England.

He got targeted and smacked around

 

[StackedHunch]

Or Tony Grieg's delightfully fluffy mild racism (please don't ever pan to a wedding in Perth ever again...)

deets please

 

[TradeDraft]

Aussies can't lose it from here? Can they?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I haven't been since day 1

..... In Perth.

 

[smasha]

Been drinking coke with ice Berwick Inn until we score the winning runs then a pint of Carlton Draught.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Will know more about the pitch after both teams have batted twice on it

Agreed, too early to be talking about the pitch

 

[Cleavy]

Webster showing that it's time to start rewarding Shield form more consistently.

showing that it's time to pension off some of the boys club

 

[hawkman]

The pitch has really settled down, too green to start so Bumrah really should have bowled under those cloud condition.

Tired bowlers aren't going to get anything out of it. Boland was almost unplayable this morning

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

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.

I guess we'll never care

 

[Bazza5]

Great series by our lads.

I imagine all those who repeatedly said we'd choked the series away will be fronting up with concessions shortly.

More likely we'll get "we only won cause Bumrah got injured", the same ones who wouldn't acknowledge Lyon's injury in the Ashes.

Yep. Don’t worry, plenty of positive people in here. The negatives posts just seem louder.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Am I allowed to refill my ???

It's a drinks break. Gets the champagne out!

 

[danielnajdek]

3 - 1 series win won't do the series justice

Yeah should've been 4-1.

 

[Pistol Night]

..... In Perth.

Im booked into hospital at the close of play

 

[Westend]

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.

F**k me bagging marsh and he is not even playing ....F**K me dead

he is not playing and still getting sledged by F**wits

no wonder he was booed by the Country as the most disliked cricketer in Australia

marsh got dropped and shouldn't haven't been playing this test...he will never play test cricket again...move on ffs

 

[mike14]

How many 5 test series would Bumrah have played before this one?

 

[Outtatym]

As we close in on a test victory and series win, who have we got in the big footy bed wetters XI ?

Who declared defeat multiple times yesterday?
