Banter RDT 155 - Can’t mess with tradition

[FKASC]

No Green. one over from labu to change ends for Starc. Seriously ******* stuff from Aus here.

Green the new Mitch Marsh. Brought in as an all-rounder and not used. #NSWbias

80 off 102 balls
6 wickets in hand

Rishabh stays in and they are a chance to win this

To think he, Gill and Siraj were all left out of the first test (plus Jadeja)

"Fortress" Gabba looking very shaky right now

I reckon India are looking shaky right now. They don't have to play at balls outside off. High risk v reward for mine.

Do we have an injured bowler? I'm just following via commentary. As per comments above I too thought it was odd we didn't give Green the ball more frequently. Particularly as Smith said he was going to cause havoc with the ball today

If they lose another wicket they will just shut up shop and block it out.

India win or a draw are the only two scenarios from here IMO

And they said T20 will kill test cricket

Killed the one dayer instead

Nothing but respect for Pujara.

Set up this win in a way.

Our bowlers look DEAD tired

Would have been easy for him to retire hurt, and who knows what would have happened then. He’d be pretty sore you’d think

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

To come back from being bowled out for 36, and with so many players out for various reasons, in a foreign country, in covid conditions too. Super impressive.

Wil be one of the greatest comebacks in test history for mine.

Great series

Full credit to them

Test cricket hey

 

[kane249]

And there it is

Heads should roll for that

Great series for India. But the series was a steaming pile of garbage from an Australian perspective.

Three dull wickets in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and a weak Australian batting lineup couldn’t capitalise.

Curious as to what the next excuse will be not to host a Test in Perth. Our fortresses on the East coast have been blown up.

First time in decades we've lost at the GABBA. Lost a test series on home soil to a team without some of their best players. One of the all time lows for Aussie cricket today.

 

[THE A5]

Tim Paine is a popular figure and has made a couple decent contributions but at the end of the day is an average player and not a great leader. Time to get Smith back as captain.

They should, but they won't.

I feel sorry for someone like Michael Neser who has had to sit and watch Starc bowl pies all series.

 

[kane249]

Would laugh if Australia some how lost this test match to an almost third string Indian line up

I wouldn't mind seeing Swepson for Lyon either

This. Pattinson unlucky to get injured too. Both played well in the practice games

To be fair I think Neser's pies aren't much better. Would prefer Richardson (not fit enough yet maybe?) or Pattinson (again not fit).
