This will be over Monday early evening at the absolute latest. Can see it ending Sunday night.

 

[Marshland]

Warner to score a ton.

You read it here first!

 

[Metalcrusher]

See what Gabba pitch we get first ...

Won't finish Sunday night as stumps will be around 6pm.

India will bowl Australia out for under 200.

India will retain the trophy.

I thought it was D/N for some reason.

India will bowl Australia out for under 200.

India will retain the trophy.

They have about 4000 players out. Very unlikely.

They have about 4000 players out. Very unlikely.

Let alone we haven't lost here since Adam was a boy. If they retain the trophy it will be throw a rain affected draw. I'd be staggered if Australia lost.

 

[11kgm]

If not Bumrah and Ashwin

Back warner for a big one

 

[Richard Pryor]

This will be the biggest choke of all time if we don't win, on paper there's no excuse for a loss!

 

[Xtreme]

If they retain the trophy it will be throw a rain affected draw.

Exactly, it should rain through 3 out of the 5 days. The only 100% clear day is day 1. Australia will need to turn this into a 1 dayer to get the win!

 

[peternorth]

If Im providing advice to Harris, Id be saying he has nothing to lose and to play his natural game.

 

[Topkent]

After some time for reflection I think the overreaction was in full effect. The pitch was terrible, was always destined for a draw the way it played and the short pitch plan was probably because there was absolutely nothing in it.

Funny, we get smashed for not finishing them off on day 5 but they were equally as garbage bowling to us on day 4.

Please please be a good pitch and never go to Sydney again.

In all honesty if we lose this test or draw this test then this series will of been a huge failure. We are not playing their best 11 andifwe are half as good as some think we are then we should win this test easily.

 

[Gough]

Pointless on this day trivia from Cricinfo.

1898
Test cricket's first maximum. There had been sixes before in Tests, but all with the aid of overthrows, and Australia's Joe Darling managed the real thing when he smacked the ball out of Adelaide Oval to reach his century in the first Test against England. In those days you had to hit it out of the ground to get six - clearing the boundary was only worth five.

Watching this recap does anyone actually believe Singh didn’t call Symonds a monkey ?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Gotta win the toss to give our bowlers another days rest

It is technically plausible, but I don't see any reason for why Sachin waited until the last minute to come out with it unless it was a complete BS hail mary.

Lost of a lot of respect for Sachin. Really tainted his legacy IMO for people who know what he did

 

[philreich]

If I read the forecast correctly, it won't be a wash out. There'll be some interruptions, but there should be enough time to manufacture a result.

 

[Gough]

Can we maybe put the race thing to bed for this Test guys.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gotta win the toss to give our bowlers another days rest

I know how this goes

We’ve won a fair few this series though

 

[Belnakor]

Alright I think we just talk about this ridiculous hat Hayden is wearing

Pitch like the MCG one for the 2nd test would be ideal.
