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

Why would they spend such a long time for an effing test match, yeah if it was ipl then sure.
Send these spoilt brats back home.

So I read on Twitter that David Warner averages 24 against India in matches involving Ashwin and has been dismissed by him 9 times .
Is this a coincidence or he struggles against Ashwin ? Does anyone remember their battle ?

Some kinda thing like Khumbakarana and his band of trippy youngsters stepping out of a bubble.

Kane Wilson made me laugh out loud, for some reason... Wasn't there a player called Paul Wilson in the 90s for Aus?

Technically it could be Kane Dickson

Making Kohli Ravana and Rahane Vibhushana? ?

Weird but surprisingly true.

What's weird is the average is similar both at home and away in India.

Ashwin has dismissed Warner indeed 9 times. Of which 6 times were lbw bowled. Last time they met in Sydney Ashwin dismissed Warner twice but in the first innings Warner made a 100 as well.

And it's also Australia's prerogative to tell India to piss off home if they refuse to follow legislated pandemic health rules.

The Australians have drawn the line and the Indians have crossed it

I hope Australia is watching the NZ vs Pak Test. So nice to see a 3-336 scorecard with batsmen playing with freedom

Edit: and 3-400 at lunch

No it isn't

 

[Starfighter]

The most free thing in that match is the ball after it contacted the fielders' hands on the full.

Ahem, 7 catches dropped by Aus 2nd test, 6 catches dropped by India 1st test....

 

[NotMcKenzie]

So much more freedom than anyone could have imagined, then.

 

[Starfighter]

Ahem, 7 catches dropped by Aus 2nd test, 6 catches dropped by India 1st test....

Then it stands to reason that these test matches have been freer than that one.

No thanks. It’s terrible. I saw enough of that in the ‘00s.

More likely that India and Australia will copy Pakistan's fielding

 

[harsh.ag]

They are being tested repeatedly, AT. Your oh dear is unnecessary

 

[aussie tragic]

"Warner to return, Pucovski close to debut"

"Langer suggested the veteran opener is "very, very, very likely to play", adding there was no risk "of him re-injuring himself".

 

[GotSpin]

I like how my tickets got refunded today but they've jacked up the prices for the lower capacity
