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

[King Elvis]

Pink hair Binga?

What.
The.
****.

 

[Reykjavik]

people can complain about roads for pitches, but if you cant execute basic catches or run outs you only have yourselves to blame. Is the pitch supposed to give you 30 wickets to make up for all the misses or something?

 

[Pera]

And how did you form this baseless conclusion?

Just a hunch.

 

[Underarm]

Was taking the piss with my last post, obviously the wire has got in the way, but I'm more interested in what would happen if it created a catch? I.e. a batsman hits it, all of a sudden hits spidercam and deviates and a fielder gets a catch he otherwise wouldn't have. Is that just shit luck? Or should the fielding side withdraw their appeal in the name of cricket?

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

 

[GROTTO]

Pretty disappointing 2-0 victory coming up. Could have been so much better with even half decent fielding

I would happily take the 2-0 any day all day. Bothered that we couldnt match their 4-0 thumping and humiliation of us in 2013.

Had they scored only 50 runs in the first and second test or not had dodgy decisions against them, this series result would have been different.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Do they let you in if you don't wear pink?

 

[rdhopkins2]

It's all happening here! I take it fielder hitting spidercam/wire is now added to BF cricket bingo?

 

[Sam95]

Just a hunch.

Imagine if it was kohli in smith position everybody would be ripping into him for using spidercam as an excuse, but it smith so it okay lol

 

[estibador]

Lol Indians on cricinfo claiming a 2-0 result would prove they are an improved touring side…

They've played a lot better than we did on our last tour.

They are still 2 for -450 or thereabouts on day 3. Their tail doesn't wag. If we can get batting early tomorrow we're set. 3-0 is still a good chance. /jinx

 

[Wayne Arnold]

Can't have the captain using a piss weak excuse for a dropped soda. Poor example to set, Smithy.

 

[Reykjavik]

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

 

[Steinfreo]

India could be 4 down, this team isnt always hungry enough or maybe talented enough.

 

[vaughany]

Rogers off with a back complaint or injury.

Who is the replacement fielder? Agar?

 

[likedagrass]

who cares he dropped it bet Watson was spewing almost had a wicket

 

[Slax]

Amount of luck against us is ridiculous.

Considering how much went with us in the first two test matches it was always going to even out at some stage.

 

[ComicSansHumour]

"Why"

WTF he clearly says "The Wire".

Even Proposition Joe would have managed to take that catch.

 

[vaughany]

lmao at the commentators. They should be ripping into channel nin-

oh wait

Gold.

It always does, the beauty of sport.

 

[Reykjavik]

Who is the replacement fielder? Agar?

Cummins who casually lobbed the ball back to Haddin with Rahul down and out half way down the pitch struggling to get back to the bowlers end.

 

[estibador]

Who is the replacement fielder? Agar?

Played in the BBL the other night so I don't think he's even there.

 

[Andronicus]

Imagine if it was kohli in smith position everybody would be ripping into him for using spidercam as an excuse, but it smith so it okay lol

Kohli has a much longer list of reasons to hate than Smith.

That has to be worth something.

It's all happening here! I take it fielder hitting spidercam/wire is now added to BF cricket bingo?

BF Cricket Bingo:
Something about Siddle eating bananas and not steaks
Starc bowling pies
Watto going out after getting a start
This pitch is a road
Something about Mel
Add something about Haddin being a crap keeper
Argument over replacement for current player
Someone is over/underrated because he is Victorian
Lyon should bowl over the wicket
Hitting the spidercam/wire
Laughing at India for not using DRS
Sledging is ok by Australians but Kohli is a campaigner for doing it
Channel 9 commentators are crap

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

 

[Slax]

India could be 4 down, this team isnt always hungry enough or maybe talented enough.

Could be 4 down, could also of been 2-1 up with decent umpiring too.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Could be 4 down, could also of been 2-1 up with decent umpiring too.

If only there was a system that could improve the umpiring.

100% accurate or no, given out caught behind off the shoulder is always going to be overturned.
