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

I hope Marnus is self conscious after the Roy/Warne barrage and gets out cheaply

You are a bad poster

 

[Shri]

I stand by that statement. You shouldn't have different rules for you.

If you think batting is not for you, don't come out to bat. We can't just change the rules because you don't want to face the same type of deliveries everyone else does. Your run counts the same. It's not fair to the bowling side that, for example, has tailenders with maybe enough skill to fend off a bouncer has bouncers allowed against them while another side they're facing doesn't. That's not how sport should work.

have you been living under a rock ****

concussions are serious and should be bigger than any sport given what it does to a person

A sport by rights shouldn't take 5 days to have/not have a winner in this day and age too. Cricket is idiosyncratic by nature and you need to apply a little common sense to who's capable of handling dangerous bowling and who isn't.

Play better...if you’re scared of the bowling just knock your stumps over

 

[cnerd123]

Morning all. What have I missed? Cursory glance at the scorecard suggests we're ****ed.

What a piss poor post. The steadfast refusal by even Australian fans (of all nations) to even entertain the conversation about possibly changing how we view bouncers is baffling to me. No one's calling for a ban but if we can give the umpires a little more encouragement to step in and ask the bowler to dial back intimidatory bowling, then I don't see the game massively changing for the worse.

244 has a better ring to it than 216 is about all I can say.

 

[Coronis]

Runouts galore, 2 great pieces of fielding and Ashwin being fat slow and indecisive. Quality bowling from Cummins and Hazelwood especially.

I’m sorry, you’re talking garbage

Could be an ugly rest of the day for India. Just keep Saini to a minimum please.

Surpr
Surprisingly India lost their last 6 wkts for 49. Who'd of thought these Covid whinging prima Donna's would be so mentally weak to do that?

Dire.

You can't complain about Senile Sentry, halba etc's posting whilst also posting garbage like this.

For the record, I've never complained about any of their posts. Only @honestbharani whose turned me against the Indian cricket team

Need to get them out for under 125, anything more than that and best case scenario draw for India.

I was told there'd be rain ffs

you sound like a bit of a snow flake if one poster can make you stereotype against a whole bunch of others tbh

weak

 

[Gnske]

Why do bowlers in test cricket bowl bouncers despite it almost always never being worth it?

Yea I'm all for umpires enforcing Law 41.6 more often, but there is going to massive amount of blowback from fans/coaches/media if any umpire actually does it during a game.

Perhaps ICC playing conditions can require umpires file a report for violations of 41.6 after the game, rather than take action on the field. This way any penalties can be issued after the game, and can be done by an independent committee/body. Protects the umpires and also prevents any on field drama.

I hope Pant is doing okay, but can't say I'm too upset about getting Saha behind the sticks. We need to take every half chance that comes our way this innings if we're to claw our way back.

I mean the first couple of days had a bit.
