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

[Pratters]

Would have made far more sense to continue with Mayank and have Rohit Sharma bat in the middle order.

 

[Burgey]

Burgey likes to pretend that Sydney isn't horrible in general, when in fact it is.

I've been affording you a similar courtesy since January 2016.

Looking at the Cricinfo headline, it's a good time to express my contention that the phrase 'knocked over' should only be used when the batsman is out bowled.

+Hit wicket and retired hurt

Theyre taking an early lunch and resuming play at 1 weather permitting

Is this something new? I always thought lunch n tea break times were meant to be frustratingly rigid

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Fawad Alam c Watling b Jamieson (1st innings) could be called knocked over

 

[trundler]

Nah they always do this

 

[TheJediBrah]

Very disappointed to see the back of Travis Head, really thought he was the future of Australian cricket

sadface

 

[Burgey]

Quite steady rain here on the People's Peninsular atm, about 5kms from the ground.

 

[honestbharani]

any chance of play in the next couple of hours? I need to decide if I can start to the office and its an hour's drive

 

[trundler]

So the SCG gets more rain than all the other Australian grounds combined and the pitch is a road? Guess the results result from teams wanting to get the **** out ASAP.

 

[Pratters]

Two rained out draws at Sydney will be just mad. Make it a 10 day series decider.

Surprised you're not parked up in the members enduring this

Had tix for days 1-4 in the first ballot, but when they reduced numbers and did a redraw, only got tix to day four, which I won't be attending as I have other commitments.

 

[GotSpin]

Just jagged a members ticket for tomorrow though

Lol I just rocked up with my client this morning and we got tickets. Sitting with him in the disabled section of the Trumper stand

Perks of the job

Hearing them talk about the Indians wanting to boycott Brisbane is certainly only the second biggest sook I've heard about today.

 

[Line and Length]

At least Fleming can talk confidently and eloquently

So many of the comms are so awkward and devoid of charisma

I find Fleming a pain in the nether region. Doesn't know when to shut up.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Actually amidst all this, have the Indians have made any official statement on this issue (Brisbane) ?
