4th test Australia v India at the Gabba 1030 AEDT

[Gough]

Here's an interesting figure.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I’m finding Hayden a trifle irritating.

Love the use of trifle. Underrated adverb.

nicely picked up off the ankles by Paine for 4

That's why cricket is a fickle game.

Wade Marnus and Green all present chances around 40. Wade gets out, other 2 survive.

Ones a disgrace to cricket the others are varying levels of hero.


People need to relax.

There's a difference between an outside edge against a ball that's swinging and whatever went through Wade's head. The ball was doing nothing, Australia was in a commanding position, and he let them back in.

He also played similarly dumb shots twice already in the series.

 

[HBF]

Even including the duds, both 7 and Fox teams are eons above the last few years of what Channel 9 dished up

I was shocked when Slater ended up at 7. He was by far the worst of the lot at 9.

Wade's decision to take it on wasn't bad, it was just terrible execution. Same with Marnus. The difference is the history of poor shots.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good start this morning, Aussies have all the momentum.

450+ must be achieved.

Warne is one of the most astute judges of cricket, I have heard, from the individual to the current state of play.
As a personality he his cringeworthy with his vacuous and banal pop culture references coupled with his venal and vindictive sledges at others how aren't there to clap back.

What do you think about his tendency to repeat himself. Like what do you think of his tendency of repeating himself?

 

[ABAB]

Ball is nicely swinging but they are bowling a bit wide.

 

[Joffaboy]

Batting conditions don't get much easier than this, on a road against a tiring 2nd string bowling attack.

Even Paine could make a ton here.

Everything is a road to you.

Reckon Kane Williamson might even get to 50.

Tim Paine looks neat.

Has his collar up.

nicely pushed into the legside by Green for 3

It was a ball just back of a length outside off. Playing aggressively is fine. Playing that shot was just dumb.

Marnus' wasn't so bad but he definitely lost his concentration a bit after passing 100. He played 2 or 3 false/unconvincing shots in a short period before his wicket fell.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I don't mind Mark Howard, he's a bit prone to being star f***ed but for the most part he realises that he's that he's an anchor rather than expert ball by ball commentator.

Just can’t stand his goody two shoes thing he’s got going

 

[Hawksboy72]

What do you think about his tendency to repeat himself. Like what do you think of his tendency of repeating himself?

Someone should ask him about the time he "Accidently" kicked his stumps over in England.

 

[Stax on the mill]

s**t! How come Hayden doesn’t get rotated out of the commentary?

No it was stupid. Ball was nowhere near short enough. There’s a reason he and Head average 30 odd

Used to love ABC but with Chappell its hard to enjoy now. Even the younger nein boys club didn't bring up their careers as much as he does. Was talking about hardness yesterday and it was cringe. He felt the need to point out they didn't wear helmets so makes them harder like the current guys have a choice or that it's a lot better for ones well being to wear a helmet, doesn't make them less 'hard'.

Rubbish, I expect that every single pull shot from a ball outside off is from now on deemed a rubbish shot from you, or just maybe... It's a hindsight call because he got out to it.

the ball hits an inch lower on Wades bat it probably goes for four and not a single person says anything.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Everything is a road to you.

Plenty of roads last summer. Shame the "number 1" batsman in the world failed to capitalise.

 

[HBF]

450+ must be achieved.

I feel like we are looking at only batting once. The Indians will be tired after being in the Brisbane humidity for nearly two days.

Will be the best batting conditions today
