***Official*** 5th Test at the SCG

[Daemon]

He’s a step up on Shah’s efforts last year. He was awful.

Even Shah was a step up from Tahir

 

[Burgey]

Even Shah was a step up from Tahir

Had forgotten about him. Yes indeed.

 

[Prince EWS]

Even Shah was a step up from Tahir

Yeah Tahir's effort in Australia was completely despicable.

 

[TheJediBrah]

0/260 not good figures?

 

[Starfighter]

Nah, Tahir's effort was great. A real record breaker.



For worst match figures that is.

 

[Spark]

My personal favourite was when he finally got a wicket and then celebrated like he'd won the World Cup. Then it was called a no ball.

0/260 not good figures?

Went at 7+ an over too didn't he. Don't think most bowlers could concede that much if they tried.

He took a wicket of a googly and set off before it was called a no ball. Was hilarious.

Edit: Dammit Spark

 

[Starfighter]

I'd like to see Ali change it up a bit here, maybe even go over the wicket for a bit. The lack of overspin he puts on the ball is quite problematic here.

 

[Spark]

Nice to see a proper SCG turner again

 

[GotSpin]

My god slats. Shut up

I remember they kept bashing him into the construction site where the stands were being re-built. Was both glorious and cringe-worthy.

 

[Anil]

Second time this match though, wasnt Root considered to fail when he got out?.

both may be considered failures but the reasons are diametrically opposite to each other...

 

[Spark]

That is a properly rank decision

 

[TheJediBrah]

did anyone else miss that whole ball and then coverage came back after ads in the middle of a review?

clear miss given out caught behind?

edit: ah, Dharmasena is umpiring. carry on.

More like three balls

 

[Daemon]

How is this guy still umpiring in Tests

 

[AndyJS]

I don't like to be pessimistic about my own team but I think England are probably going to get bowled out for 200 to 250 tomorrow in weather conditions they aren't used to.

 

[Spark]

Oh good my least favourite commentary stint of every year

He's so bad he can't tell that Ashwin chucks it, so powerful BCCI keep him in the rotation
