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

Media can film whomever they please in public, that's not what I disputed.
I said Kohli as reported, was annoyed that they were filming him with his family and in that context, with some of the over zealous fanaticism Indian media and supporters can show, I can understand the reaction.

And none of the media were filming his family. And the angry little man chose to single out one reporter. Not those who were holding the camera's.

Pleasantly surprised I was wrong. Thought - on past experience- we would crumble chasing anything above 150. Shows how helpful it is to actually have a muddle order batsman in form…let alone an extra bowler. Will be interesting to see what happens when Green back in. Could they perhaps drop Marnus and leave Webster in? Would be an awfully useful attack

Webster looked like a batsman comfortably in form in both innings, on a sketchy wicket.

He stays for now.

Tried the ‘don’t you know who I am’ stand over approach.

Didn’t work.

So where are all the bed wetters from yesterday?

The ICC have confirmed our place in the WTC final at Lord's

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

So glad we don’t have to see Kohli here for a while. I wish him the worst of luck.

 

[Xtreme]

He's a kid in his second Test. He's done a couple of done things, let's assume he'll learn from them.

He won't he'll be a BBL exclusive player within 36 months

Take it to the bank

Over Green? Or include both?

Don't know, but he looked better that Konstas or Marnus. Different position and small sample size, sure. But he didn't look like going out.

 

[Aussie in exile]

A great win, and I did say IF India got a lead of 250+ it would have been hard for us, but they didn't, and e won with ease

 

[Iceman!]

Over Green? Or include both?

Green won't be fit for a while yet so still some time to make that decision.

 

[The hands of stone]

What a great series . Think I'll be having some decent test cricket withdrawals over the next few days .

Bumrah is a legend of the game and a generational star . Possible the best pace bowling display I have seen .

Boland was his 'boring' brilliant self. Lose Hazlewood and you gain Boland . Showed everyone how to bowl dry but ge threatening. Deadly duo of skills .

Webster looks ready made for test cricket after honing his craft on a fairly bowling friendly Bellerive.
Simply is the better option over Marsh and proved it .

Kholi has reverted to his old self . Can't talk with the willow so the angry little man is back . Should have got weeks for the shoulder charge but we know how those things work .

Great series and the better team won

Looking forward to every indian and the Australian media telling us how we always cheat and are terrible sportsmen. Especially the bully Konstas.

Senile Gavaskar already started.

 

[cats_09]

Over Green? Or include both?

I'd go both

With Green returning from back surgery I'd be happy to see him playing primarily as a batsmen for the time being - he can replace Marnus

And then have Webster as an all rounder option

Really? What's he saying now?

We won within the rules so that's the end of the matter

Interesting to see who we've got lining up for us in the test squad in 10 or so years.

Sam Konstas - Needs to have half of Green's patience
Cam Green - Needs to have half of Konstas aggression
Nathan McSweeney - Just not opening the batting
Cooper Connolly - looks pretty good in shield and BBL but untested at test level thus far

Todd Murphy - Lyon replacement
Spencer Johnson - Looks the natural Starc replacement
Lance Morris - Not sure if he's got the skill for Red Ball, has the pace but doesn't move the ball much

Not sure on many others but I reckon we'll see a bit of this lot over the next 3-4 years as some of the old timers start being phased out

 

[Borisdog]

Any reason why you didn’t say this to him?

Fellow traveller

Green won't be fit for a while yet so still some time to make that decision.

I question whether Green will bowl for a while after his surgery.
And we clearly need some middle order batsmen eventually, so why not both of them if good enough

 

[SparklingAle69]

Hand up here. I thought Pant had won it for them yesterday. Good morning in the field brought it back.

People said that about Warner.
Let him develop and mature

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Can someone explain this 'father' shit to me? Is it some weird Indian insult or something?

Who's your daddy?
