Australia vs India, 4th test at the SCG, Jan 3rd - 7th

[Lynnsanity]

I just seen some Indian fans commenting that wether Duckworth Lewis should be used in situations like this in the test arena LOL

I’ve heard it all now...

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Congrats India pujara and bumrah are stars and humble

Kohli will celebrate this like he just beat the prime windies

 

[TigerCraig]

Neroli was suggested to do a slip and slide, but is apparently "resisting the urge" to do so. So Isa suggests the entire commentary team do it. Good lol's.

So any updates on the Neroli/Isa slip & slide off ?

Would be the highlight of the match summer

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Every one of those Australian players should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Love all the salt blaming CA for where we are at. The fact is 3 of our players blatantly cheated and got deservedly banned and the rest of the team isn't good enough so we lose.

Why do we have to be held to such a bullshit standard when the rest of the cricketing world don’t give a s**t about ball tampering South African captain been done for it twice.

Elite Honesty

As I put on the other thread, I really dont care if our players strangle puppies while sucking bongs with cheap hookers standing naked in Pitt Street so long as they win, but its all about role models it seems

Let’s talk positives...

1. Didn’t lose a wicket today.

2. Marsh couldn’t get his usual 30-40 to save his test spot innings

 

[Stig O'Hara]

So, have we hit rock bottom?

You’d think Sri Lanka would fancy their chances in the coming 2 tests.

As an oldie, this has the same feeling as ‘78/‘79, the utter nadir.

Pujara a deserving MotM and MotS.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Just think if we didn’t bat like drunks in Melbourne as trash as we were, would have got a draw.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

To be the man you've got to beat the man. If Australia were any good they'd have adapted and at least been more competitive than what they showed.....

For Australia to lose a test series at home against one of their biggest rivals has to sting a lot of people.

Why does it sting this is one of the worst Aussie sides of all time. And India were still worried about playing at the Gabba

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pujara a deserving MotM and MotS.

To a degree. I know many many disagree but I’d have given MOTS to Bumrah

 

[HLM*]

Can’t help but admire Poo-jara. Amazing series, well spoken and a traditionalist. Wish we had someone like him.

England 86/87 hurt a lot more - "worst England side ever" that won everything v a very good and balanced Indian side

(plus it was England)

Selectors to use a rained out draw to justify picking the same squad for Sri Lanka then, no doubt.

 

[Hamez]

Interesting to see M.Marsh and Siddle have flown back from Big Bash duties to be with the Test squad. I would’ve thought they’d just stay with their t20 franchise.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

You’d think CA would have copped a hiding in regards to ticket sales, not sure how well it’s rated with dual coverage as against the old Nein regime.

Any figures would be appreciated.

Kohli speaks well. Not coming across as smug as usual

Bumrah would have ripped through these campaigners at the Gabba if the pitch was anything like it has been for the shield matches this season.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Will never catch on the Aussie way is to try and score 4 an over and if you leave the ball outside off twice in an over to then either charge or play a reckless cut/pull shot

 

[STFU Donnie]

So that'll be 25 now. More than the rest of the country combined!

 

[HLM*]

To leave a ball outside off is to “lack intent” according to Sir Michael Slater

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Bumrah would have ripped through these campaigners at the Gabba if the pitch was anything like it has been for the shield matches this season.

Probably would but the facts remain India come here to tour yet decide what venues they will and won’t play and no day night tests it’s a joke what’s next telling host nation the pitch they’re allowed to prepare

 

[imadodgyumpire]

India should've won the series in 1985. So this loss shouldn't be as degrading as it appears.

Alternatively, the one kid at the moment who look like he might have the game to play that way gets left out of the UAE tests for a white ball player who doesn’t even open in First Class cricket. The Aussie way.
