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

[MisterMarcus]

Commentators are strangely reluctant to talk about Haddin's keeping all of a sudden......

 

[rdhopkins2]

Going to the 3rd ump for a caught and bowled off Smithy.

 

[BrownYouGun]

Didn't think that was out, but at least Smith is making something happen a bit

 

[rdhopkins2]

Will be not out!

 

[offtherails9]

Aussie curators are absolutely full of it, they lie through their teeth every summer pre-game. With the exception of Adelaide which in hindsight was the best pitch of the series.

Adelaide road saved by declarations

 

[danielnajdek]

Haddin can you now remember the last time you dropped a catch you blonk.

bt his da best keep we eva had

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Rahul hasn't looked comfortable since smith came on.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

No, umpires have been doing this for years.

I know.

So why can't all queries be directed to the third umpire?

 

[ptrg]

What does it say about Lyons ability to take wickets when Amith is looking 100x more deadly, and every ball looks a chance (maybe because it actually turns..)?

 

[Richard Pryor]

Smith needs to overbowl himself in the fourth innings. Allan Border style.

 

[dumb]

next catch haddin will turn and face the crowd like jesus

 

[BluesMan]

I dont think there was an edge at all.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What does it day about Lyons ability to take wickets when Amith is looking 100x more deadly, and every ball looks a chance (maybe because it actually turns..)?

Careful you are bagging Lyon even
Though you are 100% right. Needs something to go the other way ffs

 

[BarneyBent]

Just the one crap delivery from Smith so far, and it wasn't even that bad. Finally developing some consistency with his bowling? If so, watch out...

 

[Slax]

Wasn't the talk before this test that the Sydney wicket would be the most bowler-friendly of the series? It's as flat as the UAE wickets

That's a bit harsh on the UAE wickets

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Avoid the ABC. Abbott is on.

Lyon is the best we have got. Yes he is nothing special but there really is no alternative. So we have to just suck it up.

It says that leg spinners always are more likely in Australia than off spinners. Which has been conventional wisdom for about 100 years.

And that Lyon does very well to get as many wickets as he does in Australia.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Avoid the ABC. Abbott is on.

Probably the only guest they can afford to get on now.

 

[The 747]

Adelaide road saved by declarations

Yeah but its always a road and the curator doesnt come out pre game and pretend its going to be a bowlers wicket when he knows its a highway.

 

[dumb]

put in a second slip, tell haddin to take a couple of big steps forward and tell hazlewood to feed them some half volleys now and then.

 

[The 747]

That's a bit harsh on the UAE wickets

UAE wickets were better than this travesty.

 

[Showbags]

Avoid the ABC. Abbott is on.

Political figures in commentary boxes are never a good mix. They try to pretend they know what they are talking about but just end up embarrassing themselves.

The only one that I can remember who was ok was Kiwi Prime Minister John Key. Seemed to be quite knowledgeable.

 

[Gough]

Abbott's on the wireless, he's clueless about cricket as he is everything else.
