[Harris Specter]

Lyon knows that he doesn't have to appeal every ball right?

 

[Power Raid]

a great shot

 

[Harris Specter]

What a shot!

[Carbine Chaos]

I'd be pretty nervous if Dhoni was playing.

 

[Power Raid]

a very patient half century

 

[Tulip]

We're going to struggle to unseat Kohli, he's too good.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Need a wicket here.

This is the basic difference between young cricket fans of today and young fans from years ago. When I was a lad, I couldn't get enough information from people such as Bradman, Miller, Hassett, etc, to teach me about the game. Today's youth just think they know everything and don't listen.

Ian Chappell not only captained Australia, he also played baseball for Australia. But more than that, it was his fight with cricket officialdom which dragged cricket screaming and kicking from the dark ages to give players the wonderful deals they enjoy today. Without Chappell's vision for the future, the game wouldn't be what it is today. And what do you get from posters on this forum? "He's an old fart, he's boring, his stories are irrelevant", etc. Ever stop to think that maybe it's YOUR opinions that are irrelevant?

Yep. In one of the 10,000 cricket docos I've watched, the late Terry Jenner said that every modern player should give a little prayer of thanks to Ian Chappell for the great life they've got.

Can't put it on the pads Johnson.

He has to keep it tight and use his full measure of bouncers too, need them to be uncomfortable

Agreed on Chapelli, but will never warm to Slater.

That's a massive generalisation.

And all generalisations are stupid.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That would of been a bit awkward.

 

[Damon_3388]

Shut up Warnie.

Typical moderator.

Was going to post the same thing.

young people these days blah blah - what a load of crap

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Vijay, get out already.

 

[ep2018]

India might actually chase this down, how embarrassing!

 

[Power Raid]

I want to go for a run but fear I will miss an important breakthrough

 

[Patron]

We're going to struggle to unseat Kohli, he's too good.

a guy who averaged under 40 in test cricket before this series and hadn't scored above 40 in the series before, he shouldn't be too good. Obviously kohli is better than his test record suggests but still.

 

[danielnajdek]

I still don't know how he gave that not out.

Worse decision ever.

 

[Plugger35]

Still a long shot, tough scoring at 4 an over on a wearing pitch and it only takes one or two wickets this session for India to shut up shop.

Similar situation to Smith.

 

[Harris Specter]

Great exhibition for test cricket. Even though we are on the final day with about 2 sessions to go, all 3 results are possible.

 

[Tulip]

IS HE KIDDING?
