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

[aussie tragic]

India fighting hard for a draw scoring 2 runs per over on a flat deck. Predict India 3-150 at lunch tomorrow, 5-220 at Tea, all out 256 as they do their series usual of last 5 wkts for 36.

Forgot about the extra half hour in first session but prediction still on track at 4-180

I'm in love with this Pujara innings. Tire out the bowlers. Nice to see classic Test innings.

That new ball spell from Starc was a return to 2018 tour Starc. Almost completely harmless. Cummins going to show him how its done here.

His figures aren't terrible but Starc has been pretty poor so far this innings. No threat whatsoever.

Ah **** not another injury please

 

[aussie tragic]

Hope they replaced the physio who cleared Shami twice to keep batting with a broken arm

 

[Burgey]

They’ll need to check Pant’s elbow for concussion here. That was a ****ing nasty blow

 

[marcus1232]

Am I missing something?

 

[aussie tragic]

Why not just retire hurt and come back when medically cleared...comms saying teams allowed 4 minutes to asess, well over that now

 

[marcus1232]

Am I missing something?

Its a joke

[marcus1232]

I get it but I don't get it. What's the backstory

 

[marcus1232]

Someone better.

I mean for the rest of this match has to be one of the 11 playing

I think he was implying claim concussion so you can have a replacement

 

[trundler]

What an alpha hook

Jadeja got hit in the helmet by a bouncer near the end of India's innings in one of the T20s. For some bizarre reason he wasn't even checked at the time and batted until the end of the innings, during which time he also pulled his hamstring. During the break he was assessed for the head knock and was deemed concussed and subbed out, which obviously wouldn't have been allowed had he merely pulled his hamstring.
