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

Let's not forget that if not for the concussion sub rule, Labuschagne might never have happened.

 

[Pratters]

it doesn't matter. the justification for the concussion sub is health and player protection based, not to avoid disadvantage to the team.

It does matter as it changes the composition of the xi. Once a player is not selected as a batsman or bowler, he doesn't just come in to do the same. It's astounding as far as cricket is concerned

 

[Burgey]

Can see a point in 10 years or so where bouncers arent allowed tbh

 

[TheJediBrah]

Imagine going back in time and telling someone 20 years ago that in 2020 Australian batsmen would be getting bounced successfully by Indian bowlers. They'd think you're insane.

 

[Pratters]

Gonners

 

[Gnske]

It was such a bad ball he didn't have the adequate capacity for low iq thinking to deal with it appropriately.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli wouldve dropped it

 

[Nintendo]

Tactical no balls from bumrah.

 

[TheJediBrah]

What a horrific shot to play at this stage, just when the pitch is settling down. Clearly completely incapable of handling an aggressive bowling plan and exposing the young all-rounder before tea. Absolutely disgraceful cricket.

you know what else would be astounding? a player having permanent brain injury because they got hit again by a bouncer whilst concussed because putting in the sorts of protocols that every professional sporting league is introducing these days is "astounding as far as cricket is concerned".

 

[Gnske]

Adam "Travis Head, devastating form" Gilchrist

 

[Spark]

classic head right there

 

[stephen]

Concrete feet gets Head again.

 

[Pratters]

Rahane can catch. Kohli can't. Guess who wins.

 

[aussie tragic]

If Travis Head makes runs I might just end it all

RUOK now

 

[morgieb]

Woeful time for that dismissal.

 

[Daemon]

yessssss

 

[Gob]

Better than wade

 

[cnerd123]

Funky Rahane gets the breakthrough!

 

[Coronis]

A reminder that it's been 13 innings since Smith last scored a century.

Meh Bradman had a run of like 11 or 12 didn’t he?
