Konstas to drop the shoulder into Kholi in the handshake line

 

[ABAB]

Sick of hearing about Bumrah

If they didn't bowl him into the ground he'd still be out there

Has a history of serious injury, might be out for 18 months again???

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Only fitting Virat is acting captain for this

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

4 to go.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Perhaps bowling 2-3 balls every over high on the hip, while you've got a deep backward square leg in place, isn't the best way to put pressure on the batsman.

And had a deep point all day too. While defending 160. Why even bother turning up?

 

[Kuuz]

Bumrah will be player of the series

Rightly so. Defined the series & how Australia batted.

One of the best touring bowlers I've seen in Australia. Made locals look like the overseas players.

Just had no consistent support with him. India had the best performing player, but Australia had more rounded contributions as a team.

 

[Bedi]

C'mon Konstas.

Get down to the gate and get ready to charge the field.

making a beeline for Kohli

 

[Joffaboy]

Has to be Bumrah.

Head and shoulders above the rest

[Westend]

and for a criticism

F**k sake NSW Cricket get the SCG right...too many seamers.....this test and for the shield

 

[Gough]

This is great now.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Beer at the reddy!

 

[Iceman!]

Shot Webster! BRING US HOME!

 

[Moonwatcher]

it would be over now had we levelled in the first innings

 

[Tassieboy]

Rahul gave up on that early.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

But late to bring on spin Virat

Hope it starts turning sideways!

 

[nobbyiscool]

BJ raises a very good point.

The washup of that first test would be hilarious to go back and read right now.

 

[Gethelred]

To be fair, India also didn't have Shami the whole series. He would have been handy on a couple of the pitches this series, particularly this one in Sydney...

He's 34. Our bowlers are notable for how durable they've been; Shami has spent significant time on the sidelines through injury.

We also hear rather a lot about India's depth. Not as deep as they'd tell you it seems.

 

[Doctor Feel]

YEAHHHH

 

[brutus76]

AUSTRALIA.... YOU *********** BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

GET THE **** IN!!!!!

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

3-1 is pretty incredible after Perth that being said our batting is still of concern Konstas is way to reckless, Smith and Lab are up/down and past their best on the positive webster looks a great prospect those off the back foot shots will serve him well against England

 

[Iceman!]

THE BORDER GAVASKAR TROPHY IS BACK IN AUSTRALIA!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Emphatic.

 

[The_Todd07]

**** YES

 

[magpie_marty]

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

Shield cricket was once our nursery,
I recall players like Law and Siddons etc could not get a look in.
