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

[Burgey]

I used to think same about Lee as well. Optical illusion.

Haha, India take some wickets an look who fronts up! Old Glass Jaw Sentry

Lee did chuck, ftr.

This is all on Wade and that ****ed up shot he played. Junk

 

[cnerd123]

get Saini in to give Pat Cummins a broken ****ing arm IMO

 

[Daemon]

Weird. I always though hyperextension didn't count in the 15 degrees measurement at all,just straightening beyond 0.Not sure how this **** works though.

Wiki has this but no source

"In a report by scientists commissioned by the ICC it was shown that Pakistani bowler Shoaib Akhtar and Indian bowler R. P. Singh were seen to extend their elbow joints by a negative angle with respect to the upper arm. This phenomenon, also known as hyperextension, can give the illusion of throwing. In the report it was seen that R. P. Singh maintained this negative angle throughout his delivery stride, while Akhtar sometimes bowled a quicker delivery by flexing this hyperextension. These actions are not considered to be chucking as they are due to the distinctive architecture of their elbows, possibly a congenital condition. Since these cricketers have no control over this hyperextension, any degree of hyperextension (past zero) is not included in the 15-degree extension tolerance threshold."

Does Siraj want to review every ball which hits the pad.

 

[cnerd123]

Siraj has been very good. Great addition to the pace battery.

Without an official source, I'm afraid you aren't allowed to quote anything, sorry.

Has leapfrogged Umesh in the pecking order now I reckon . Very impressed with his ability to not bowl **** balls.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah Siraj has been quality, particularly this spell. Backing up Melbourne pretty well for a kid.

That's a great shot

haha yea I wouldn't mind that tbh. I'd probably keep Bumrah as the spearhead, have Shami or Umesh as the 'bowl quick swing and look for wickets' 2nd quick, and the Ishant or Siraj as the 'keep it tight' 3rd quick.

What a time to be alive where we have 5 legit Test quality pacers + a decent seam bowling allrounder in Pandya + a seamer who is quality but seemingly out of the system in Bhuvi.

 

[Burgey]

Definitely need two fly slips for Cummins here

 

[OverratedSanity]

So annoying that Smith looks back to his best. **** hasnt once looked like getting out.

 

[cnerd123]

time for some Jaddu

 

[Daemon]

Nooo Saini why

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not Saini please

 

[Burgey]

Saini will be very grateful he has a deep point in

 

[Arachnodouche]

They've bowled junk to him tbf. Short and wide junk every other over. It was never about Smith being out of touch but about tying him up early doors.

Some of us have lives old man.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Saini is a right gormless-looking **** isn't he? The kind of guy who got used to bullying ppl at domestics with a bit of speed (only a bit, mind) and developed a complex about it.
