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

[OverratedSanity]

It was pure selfishness from Jadeja.

This is a high IQ take, but I genuinely believe that since run-outs are not recorded statistically, they are a waste of time as far as attempts at dismissal go. Basically you're costing a bowler a wicket and robbing them of a career potentially under certain circumstances.

He robbed himself a 5fer in Australia for the good of the team. No one else was getting a wicket the way it was going.

Is this what playing 4d chess looks like?

Yeah "run out" was the only way Smith was going that innings.

Smith.exe will have to recompile to better incorporate field placement into it's calculations for batting with the tail.

We'll never know now. He's basically robbed one of his fellow bowlers.

No one ever wants to see a run out.

 

[stephen]

Smith limping after that hit in the leg that triggered his autism.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Nice, easy start for Sharma, there.

 

[Gnske]

Buckle up friends. You're about to witness a revolution in opening the batting in tests.

We're gonna witness something all right.

Yeah. And also continue to pray for such good pitches and Saini like bowlers.

Still he batted like a Champion with the tail. Brilliant.

Sharma's half step in his trigger movement might get him into trouble against Starc.

Gill does the same thing as well. They both stick that front leg out then rely on weight transfer rather than big foot movement. It's what gives the illusion that they have a lot of 'time' to play the ball.

What about Tim David, have you studied his technique?

 

[Shri]

starc should go for runs here

cummins will have to be at his best here to plug the hole at one end

hazlewood should be good support for him

idk what lyon is going to look like

 

[Daemon]

Flawless. Could bat 6 for Australia imo but has chosen the right country to play for.

Do you think he can replace a tough cookie like Matty Wade?

 

[Gnske]

Ffs this team's sledging is weak. Just call him a a mongy looking **** Marnus and really get into it.

 

[Coronis]

Quality chat from Marnus.

 

[Shri]

labu you are the awkward kid in the group

leave the trash talking to someone else

 

[DriveClub]

Marnus sledging is like a nerd at the front row trying the hip hop lingo to sound cool

 

[Shri]

if we don't draw/win in this dead pitch, we deserve to lose 3-1

 

[ankitj]

Is Jadeja averaging 40 in Australia with the ball yet as was predicted here on the basis of extrapolation from adjacent cases?
