Australia vs India @ SCG - Jan 6-10 - Day 3

[Sprout]

spider cam, spider cam, does whatever a spider cam does

Can he spoil, an easy catch?
No he can't, he's a cam
Look oooout, he is a spider cam

 

[Slax]

What was remarkable in that session was Australia bowling 30 overs in regulation, pretty sure 1st time for Smith as captain.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Their tail now has Ashwin and Kumar, both of whom bat well. I would not be expecting quite the same capitulations as before.

Especially on the flat pitch we have yes, but it's also not terribly unlikely that we get through them relatively quickly either.

 

[Andronicus]

You could just put the pad on your other leg and it magically becomes a left-handed pad Tubby.

Huh?

No it doesn't.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Huh?

No it doesn't.

Because one doesn't wear pads on one's hands, amirite?

 

[The GOAT]

Yep. Only 50 runs scored for the session was the main reason for that I'd say

 

[estibador]

Huh?

No it doesn't.

Never mind, I was having a blonde moment.

 

[Retzlaff]

I like Steve Smith but he does strike me as a bit petulant.
Not sure if he has the maturity at this stage to captain the country effectively. Clarke continuing on for ~2 years will be good for him.

 

[Pugsley]

WTF??

They're roads.

 

[Reykjavik]

BF Cricket Bingo:
Something about Siddle eating bananas and not steaks If only Sidds would eat real meat he wouldn't be struggling to get to 130 and we could have selected him instead of that hack pie chucker Starc
Starc bowling pies See above 2 for one deal.
Watto going out after getting a start Such a Watto dismissal in the first innings, threw it away when he did the hard work
This pitch is a road I hate this slow easy road pitch nothing for the bowlers such a disappointment
Something about Mel Theres definitely something about Mel
Add something about Haddin being a crap keeper Good ole Bad Hands Haddin his time is surely up.
Argument over replacement for current player We should replace him with Wade surely Wade is the next in line all this talk about Whiteman he's badly overrated and everyone just hates on Wade because he's a Victorian.;
Someone is over/underrated because he is Victorian See above 2 for one deal
Lyon should bowl over the wicket Lyon looks so much more dangerous over the wicket, it opened up Sharma nicely.
Hitting the spidercam/wire That one did not hit the spidercam and or wire. Smith may wish it had though.
Laughing at India for not using DRS India have not had any bad ones go against them this test so humour on hold for now. With these two umpires probability of howlers is kind of low though.
Sledging is ok by Australians but Kohli is a campaigner for doing it Kohli is a campaigner, just because he is himself. Like a tarantula is a perfect tarantula or a pile of toxic waste can be a perfect pile of toxic waste, Kohli is a perfect campaigner. Which is why we love him.
Channel 9 commentators are crap Biased, jingoistic, overly commercialised, uninteresting, self promoting, wastes of oxygen. And that's just the pitch report.

Not sure how many more are needed to fit in a bingo board

Do I win a Slats doll or something?

 

[Andronicus]

Because one doesn't wear pads on one's hands, amirite?

Not sure what you are getting at.

 

[Slax]

Yep. Only 50 runs scored for the session was the main reason for that I'd say

Also suspect has a bit to do with Johnson not being in the team as well.

 

[Sprout]

I don't get Brett Lee.

How can one of the most fiery fast bowlers we've ever produced have such a bland personality?

 

[Slax]

Do I win a Slats doll or something?

Nope one better, dinner with him and Tubby reminiscing

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Hit the wire or just distracted him?

First they said it hit the wire then they backed a way a bit and thought it may just have distracted him. They were fairly adamant that spidercam was a problem though.

 

[Slax]

I don't get Brett Lee.

You really haven't met that many elite level sportsman. It's amazing how so many of them have the personality of a wet lettuce leaf

I may have to commit hara kiri with the butter knife.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Dead ball as soon as it hits it, like the roof at etihad.

The rule was changed for BBL on that. Its now a 6.

 

[GROTTO]

The commentary team are not going to attack the same people that use spidercam that also employ them.

If this was any other country, Warnie and co would have blasted the use of spidercam.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Oak Flats will do that to you.

 

[Glacier]

They're roads.

Yes they are, but unlike the pitches in India they dont spin much either

 

[GROTTO]

The rule was changed for BBL on that. Its now a 6.

FFS just get rid of it. Bradman would be rolling in his grave, "If I hit spidercam a few times, that average of mine would have been over 100"

 

[Sprout]

I've met a few. He stands out as being particularly boring. Admittedly I'm just going off his tv persona.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Well that's just stupid.
