4th test Australia v India at the Gabba 1030 AEDT

[Spearhead]

This Australian team must be brain dead?
I mean they did the same dumb thing in Sydney on Day 5 bowling short crap all day long instead of trying to hit the top of off stump and have followed it up again and allowed the Indian tail to score at least 100 runs more than they should have by bowling way too short.
And as for Paine hopefully this is the last Test we have to put up with his dropped catches (6 in the series so far) and his DRS stuff ups, not too mention his poor field placements, how many times did they knick it straight to where 3rd slip should always be?!

Fair sooking going on here - get rid of Paine sack Langer - we are playing the number one test nation in the world - get a grip

a) NZ are #1
b) Have you seen who they are missing?

 

[CricketingErrors]

Only on Starc and Lyon bowling and Paine's captaincy and they already had egg on their face all series, there was no drop catch or poor fielding,

Paine dropped a catch

What are you on about?

We were number one heading into boxing day 1-0 up at home with India missing lots of key players and it's all gone pear shaped since then.

 

[Joffaboy]

Do Indians get to lift the trophy and do a victory dance and lap like last time or just keep it at home if this is a draw

Like Australia with the Ashes in 19 after drawing 2-2

 

[Browney2006]

So, how many of today's minimum 98 overs are we getting? 91?

Looking like its going to be around 90, so much for starting half an hour early and extending play. The over rates are only getting worse in world cricket.

This is why they need to be starting an hour earlier

 

[ABAB]

Forget the dumb rankings - India are number one by some way

Well we did dominate them at the SCG where only Kohli was missing and we were playing 7 players.....

 

[ManOfClay]

Agreed, but bouncers are a good way of setting them up for those balls. Definitely prone to overdoing them at times, but our fortunes only turned when we started intimidating Sundar and Sharkul.

You do not need to bowl short to ****ing bowlers to set them up. Just make them play at good balls

you are sounding like you are in charge of our strategy

 

[donpyke92]

Tail ender...bowl at top of off, then a bouncer is a surprise that may get a wicket, not the reverse

 

[ABAB]

Paine dropped a catch

That was a very very tough chance, drop catch are the one you are meant to take but drop them.

NZ are beating up on weak sides at home, can’t believe they’re number one.

India are 3rd in the world Test rankings, Australia & NZ are ahead of them.

Also, this isnt even the Indian team who are 3rd. This is their 2nd XI

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Harris has a batting average of 22.84. That is not even acceptable for a no.8 batsman.

Ridiculous with a whole extra hour of play. And knowing the high likelihood of rain in the next two days.

 

[CricketingErrors]

I hope you're not posting while driving that taxi.

I gave to it to Tim Paine. His next job

 

[Scorpus]

NZ are beating up on weak sides at home, can’t believe they’re number one.

They easily beat a better Indian side in two tests last year

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Have to be positive here, can’t afford to soak up overs tonight.

But they are a whole bunch of posters down injured and not posting

They smashed a full-strength India at home.

 

[CricketingErrors]

Warner was scared to take strike ?

 

[imagifED]

IMO, the result of this Border Gavaskar series is worse than last time. Back then we at least had the excuses of a team in recovery/transition from sandpaper gate, being undermanned, losing the toss every match, etc. This time India are the ones who are severely undermanned, had to travel + quarantine and lost the first test which normally sets the tone for a series.

 

[Dhoni Dakurri]

Nathan Lyon another 28 overs of milk arrowroot for 1 wicket on a turning pitch, to keep the Indians in the game

I couldn’t agree more. Paine is terrible with tactics, way too conservative and misses the obvious.
