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

[Spikey]

I thought that was very good?

maybe high?

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's huge. Man all our wickets have been soft today.

Though I don't think that's unforgiveable from Marnus.

Head played away from the body but he was rattled by the short stuff. If that qualifies as unforgivable, you have unrealistic expectations from a below average batting lineup.

 

[Burgey]

Too high

 

[morgieb]

Steven smith is done at test level. he's been found out.

Well **** me if it takes 7 years to find someone out, how poorly was everyone bowling to him.

 

[Gnske]

Surely you don't hesitate to review that if you think its clipping

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh no bad review

 

[morgieb]

Oh wow that's lucky from Paine. Those should genuinely just be out.

 

[Burgey]

That was a lot tighter than I thought looking at it live

 

[Daemon]

The worst part about getting wickets caught down leg is it justifies that kind of bowling and encourages more of that **** cricket

Yeah it's like the Wagner bowling all over again

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli wouldve told the n00b to piss off. Lucky not to lose the review

 

[Spikey]

yeah, I was giving that and Hawkeye has proved me right

It wasn't unforgiveable if only because it's a very Head dismissal. A poor time to get out though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If Labuschagne's going to keep batting like he has this series, he'll be lucky to average 40+ his career. Has looked complete garbage.

Has dropped to exactly 60 now (below Pollock, Headley, and Sutcliffe).

High IQ batting from Australia then, gets them into a false sense of security.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Has dropped to exactly 60 now (below Pollock, Headley, and Sutcliffe).

Meanwhile hopefully KDub can get his average up past Kohli in this innings.

 

[halba]

australian's batting is totally done for good. theres simply no talent and there hasnt been any at test level for 10-15 years. Our only good young batsman is a concussion prone opener with over 9 concussions in his brief history. simply not fit enough to play at test level.

have to see how bad india's batting is in their innings. australian bowlers doing 90% of the work, but its too much pressure every time if the batting is useless.

 

[Burgey]

**** that looked tight too.

getting some really good shape her e

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ooh that looked closer

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Paul Reiffel is such a troll with reaching for his pocket after big appeals like that

 

[Gnske]

Hopefully Rahane's captaincy fuels his batting. Really want to see this innocent man thrive.
