2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

Gnske is right I think TPC has been grinding it bit too much (that's what she said). Maybe he should just try to bat a bit more freely next time and take Ashwin down town a couple of times to get going

Considering he made two 60-ball tons a few weeks ago laying freely I dare say this theory might have merit

Lol at Mel talking about Gayles 12 ball fifty

Seems the MCG isn't that flat anymore.

Siraj being hidden here. Should let him have a bowl soon.

Pant has fumbled so many takes already. Will be surprised if he doesn't drop a catch this game.

Hope we can score 400+ in the first dig here.

 

[cnerd123]

Oh yea Siraj time

Last week Smith Lite was shouting NO RUN while leaving the ball.
Today Kane Williamson is shouting WAIT ON while aggressively leaving the ball.

it's 2020. Really a weird year.

Batsmen really do run for everything these days, so............

How can you take anyone seriously when their attempted man bun is really just a tiny pony tail lol

 

[Burgey]

Hope the young fella does well on dayboo here.

Should have had a haircut at lunch though.

Curiously nothing re the terrible over rate in the first session from @SteveNZ today, despite two spinners operating pre-lunch. I’m sure it has nothing to do with Australia not being in the field.

Makes even Ishants manbun look acceptable

Considering the fact that we are playing without our two main bowlers this has been a terrific performance uptil now.

Imagine aus getting india to 65/3 in India without hazlewood and starc.

 

[honestbharani]

Siraj has that nice angle going for him to the lefties. Hopefully he lives up to potential and we can take our FC fast bowling records seriously again.

yeah they'd probably have to start playing grade cricketers in the test side if they didn't have those two, such is the dearth of bowlers in australian cricket right now

 

[mr_mister]

Nearly got enough to guarantee an innings victory

On this pitch I suppose it could’ve been quite possible

India scoring 65?

first things first, he needs to play straight. that ball should have been going to midwicket, not around the corner.

 

[OverratedSanity]

So if 8 players have a bad game, either all 8 should be dropped or none of them. Wtf kind of logic is that from Karthik

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Fwiw I quite like the look of Siraj's action

Hair and face not so much
