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

Yeah that and Ashwin not being quite on colour, more than the pitch, are the big differences between this vs Melbourne so far. The batsmen know they can sit a bit on Bumrah and Jadeja and cash in against those two.

and the dropped catches

Saini trying to take himself out of the attack if Rahane wont. Good team player.

 

[Daemon]

when did a no-ball ever affect anyone's running? Sorry I just don't get it

Imagine if they take off for a run and one of the batsmen hears the umpire saying No and decides to turn back and gets run out

400+ on the cards here.

 

[Gnske]

Literally garbage and intentless bowling

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane pls

 

[Spark]

and the dropped catches

no that's basically been a constant throughout hte series

 

[cnerd123]

No it isn't at all.

Adjusting your entire approach to running between the wickets just because of a no-ball call from the umpire, which occurs usually the moment you've hit the ball and are already thinking of setting off, is literally dumber than both your face and your posts

 

[Spark]

hahahaha that stare

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No it's proof he's a god among peasants

“You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!”

 

[cnerd123]

Saini's not that good at the bouncer barrage strategy

Not good at much for Test level really.

Don't reveal my weekend league umpiring secrets.

 

[Burgey]

Plenty of times, more so in a limited overs chase context I would think. You'll see blokes take on the field to get back for two, or take on an evil quick single if they're trying to farm strike late in an over. Not much comfort if they're run out doing it only to find there was no ball which isn't called til you're walking off the park.

 

[trundler]

Saini bowling like a vegetarian

 

[cnerd123]

Saini bowling like a vegetarian

cheers for that mate

 

[OverratedSanity]

Saini still a net negative even with that wicket.

 

[Gnske]

Thankfully **** bowling sometimes encounters even worse batting.

Shambolic

 

[Shri]

**** i hate saini

 

[Daemon]

Lol Starc's ego got him out there. Lucky wicket for us tbh.

Thought before Lab got out we were gonna cruise to 500

We really are fragile after our top 4
