3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

[Pratters]

Why can't we just blame the chinese and be friends?

 

[Gnske]

I think Chennai sucks

 

[sunilz]

Batting performances in the last 3 B-G trophy have been really ordinary ( Min 150 runs filter)

While bowling performances have been really good(min 10 wickets filter)

Seeing @sunilz here just brightened up my day.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Happy New Year Everyone ?

A fair point eloquently put sunilz. However we mustn't forget australia needed Tendulkar's elbow to be hanging by a thread and a pitch curator going rogue and rain at Chennai (maybe it really does suck) to win even back then.

Terrible numbers for Kohli

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The online troll game for the 3rd test is rampantly going on in the comments on top cricket pages in social media. It’s ugly.

OT: the ‘c’ in ‘CNerd ’ stands for China

I can't emphasize enough how much of an a-grade meme this is.

Bit harsh on ***** I think

Terrible numbers for Kohli

And Terrific numbers for Bumrah in overseas win from Twitter.com ?

Don't knock it if you ain't tried it

I can't wait for people to realise that 'statistics of performances in wins' in pretty meaningless, because disregarding surrounding team strength you'd expect that wins are associated with good performances from your best players. That's why they're good and that's why you win.

To be fair, the context of the Bumrah stat seems to be that we are winning a lot more since he came in, which is a fair inference.

Do agree with your broader point though.

Not surprised but looking at stats in wins quite pointless in general. His overall record is quite superb too

Moreover you win more against weaker teams and in favourable conditions.

Yeah, bringing in a better player does help with the winning thing.

It's just like the 'player x only averages (something bad) if you take out all his centuries argument'. They're not independent phenomena.

Also bad stats in losses are out of the scope which is stupid. It's the same as those Dhoni average in successful chases stat.

What the hell kind of athlete orders diet coke? The only reason to even do physical exercise is to be able to indulge in sugar without guilt.
