Sigh.

 

[Nate7]

Was wondering about that with tea called at 52/53 overs

Sessions are time based, not over based.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

i think there's a minimum time to it?

Thought it was 2 overs or 10 minutes.

Fair enough... but I'd be taking a few 1 over rests to tie his shoelaces if I was Starc. Better than running around at fine leg.

 

[ansonholt]

The top four batsmen all get to 50 and we may not make 400.

Was thinking that 52 overs before tea is called is slow, that was 2hrs for 27 overs after only 25 before lunch

 

[shinboner magic]

You’re in next game

I’d normally agree, but Sydney doesn’t normally need the extra bowler because of rain.
Webster has done well over the last few Shiels seasons, but maybe a specialist bat at 6.

Extra drinks breaks are worth at least (checks how many are behind, subtract one for ‘credibility’), exactly that amount.

If a team can use spin or slow bowlers in the last session to better their over rate then all good.
Typically a first session may be 2 overs slower than required due to strike bowlers being used, fielding positions changing frequently etc, then everything settles after that.
It's the final session where most teams hurry through overs.

Obviously there's factors built in, but the onus is is on the bowling side to get through regardless (in theory).

Kangaroos4eva is this your work?

That’s exactly right. Should be at least 87 overs today even with extra drinks breaks. It is up to the bowling team to make sure.

We haven’t got any batsmen- maybe Inglis

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Oh lookey here; guess who's taking another rest on the bench a few overs before the new ball.

Coincidence or clever loophole finding?

That's not even taking into account the fielding quality aspect of it, since Bumrah has misfielded at least 3 times today.

Edit: glad to see the umps were paying attention. Should only be 5 overs with the new ball tonight now.

Inglis works well there. Maybe even McSweeney again there.

 

[Samsquanch]

Thanks Hansie!

Samsquanch

Don't spend all your petrol tickets Nato.

 

[Sillygit]

aiming for 350+ from here, hopefully 400, but either way a good days batting not often seen for us in this series

 

[Samsquanch]

No way Kohli avoids a suspension, unless of course...

Oh. The BCCI probably won't accept a suspension.

So a pissy fine will be imposed.

And no matter how much the fine amounts to, it won't matter a fudge to Virat.

 

[DuckYeah]

Lyon would be licking his lips at that

Lyons finished

 

[Gasometer]

Virat should give Diesel and Toby Green a call tonight

I am tempted to come in off the long run on this one, but will wait for the verdict from the Rhodesian match referee

 

[Hatchy1992]

If I was Sam Konstas I'd take that barge from Vihrat as a compliment. He was pretty much saying you're good, kid.
I'd be lapping it up. It's funny how x doesn't see it like that.

Artcile paywalled, but headline says enough:

Kohli stunner: Indian set to dodge suspension for Konstas bump​

Virat Kohli is poised to escape suspension for his bump on Australian debutant Sam Konstas.

So he should. He paid Sam a compliment.

I know its not a major issue what kohli did today but if an Aussie had done that to a first gamer I’d be dirty as
