Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

[Tugga27]

The key will be Bumrah.

If he can't bowl, things change considerably.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I strangely feel like India are slight favourites here considering we need 4 to get still and Jadeja can get runs if we keep giving him lives.

However the beauty of it moving quickly is that we won't be batting on a 5th day pitch.

Strangely?

I think they're absolutely favourites.

 

[happy_eagle]

What is the bet we will try bowl short and away from the stumps to the tail tomorrow and let them get more than they should

Yeah,

But Travis Head is due a score ¯\(ツ)/¯

This popped up on my twitter feed

That’s a really shit way to get out and tbh, if that’s the rules they should be changed. Don’t think you should be out for that

He was out of his crease the bowler has every right to have a ping . All he had to to was step back or put his bat in.

Instead he jumped like a sissy when he has pads on

India have the whip hand for sure. Rishabh may well have won them the test with his blazing innings.

Need to knock them over as cheaply as possible in the morning. Smith getting in Usman's way may well spell disaster.

Likely need half our top 6 to hang around for decent scores to be any chance, which on present data is improbable.

This one smacks of Perth 2.0 which is a pretty lame way for the series to go as we have been the better overall side whilst India have been getting along on Bumrah being all-time as much as anything.

The Gabba washout screwed us. We were always winning that if we had enough time.

 

[THE A5]

I love the ghetto old-school red light/green light so much.

Does Shield have third ump for run outs? I actually can’t recall tbh.

 

[Ljp86]

Is that one of those bogus Pakistan leagues that are just around for betting/match fixing? I mean one guy has strapping tape blocking out his number!?

It's the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which is Pakistan's equivalent of the Sheffield Shield. The video posted is from the final which is currently in progress.

Does Shield have third ump for run outs? I actually can’t recall tbh.

I don't believe so. No third umpires listed in the fixtures I've looked at, either.

Failing to turn up in Perth didn’t help.

 

[Mulldogg]

Can’t understand how Australia are $1.39 favourites with Sportsbet. I reckon that India might already have enough with a half rat power Bumrah or if they make it to a lead of 200-ish without him.

Apparently the new grass on the square at the SCG has seen some low totals in Shield games. Tassie got rolled for 68 in the fourth innings of a low scoring game in late 2023.

There might be just one day left in this seesawing series with everything left to play for

We turned up in the first 2 sessions...

Had a wee bit of a nap in the third session and lost the test unfortunately

The west:

Rocchiccioli took 25 wickets in the 2022-2023 season and 46 last summer to lead all spinners. He has taken 14 scalps from five matches this season, which is four less than Kuhnemann, but from one less match.

The only thing they have said to me is that’s the reason why I’m working with Dan Vettori to build a relationship so if that opportunity pops up, they want me to have some background conversations with him where he can see me in the flesh and sort of see what I’m doing and I can build some rapport with him,” Rocchiccioli told The West in October ahead of linking up with Vettori.

So this confirms what we always knew that Australian cricket team has become a bit of a cult or a “mates” club. Only your mates get a game. So become part of a club, don’t worry about the wickets.

From yesterday but geez, are we back to being the sooky Australians who can dish it out but not take it?

Kontos was "Swarmed". I'd hardly call that swarming, sure Bumrah goes straight to him, expected, but the whole team didn't swarm him.

All out for 161, Aussies will be licking their lips. almost 2 full days for the chase.
All they have to do is not throw away cheap wickets.

I know I've lost track of the days due to the time of the year, but isn't it day 3 today?

 

[UseR2006]

No you're right, I'm the one losing track of the days, Still plenty of time though

 

[Dazzler9]

Yep, almost 3 full days to chase 161. Come at me rain!

 

[UseR2006]

No Bumrah on the ground.

 

[Goroyals22]

Bravo Boland… what a remarkable career he is going to end up with after taking a ten for. Fairytale stuff.

Shame Bumrah looks like he is not able to bowl but Konstas now gets the easier bowlers to tee off on with the small total… he gets an ok for silly shots this innings

 

[kane249]

This is such a miserable display. But who do you bring in as a replacement? Neser and Boland are good enough, but no better than the incumbents.

Boland won't make a difference.

Not sure what we gain from bringing in Boland though, he's a few months off 36.

Would be an absolute miracle to be able to bat two days on this wicket.

Katich just made the point on comms that there's an unwritten rule, if you dish it out, you've gotta be able to cop it back.
