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

[weldone]

how many overs are due on day 5? is it 98?

 

[honestbharani]

97 is what they said.

 

[Spark]

It's an entirely different thing. They're not giving him an Anglo name, they're giving him a name that's phonetically similar. I've had many such insults over the years. It's not racist, it's possibly abusive but it's nothing worse than what Hadlee or Anderson have had to face.

so have i and i can tell you that 100% it is absolutely racist sometimes.

almost as if your own personal experience is not, in fact, determinative of everyone else's.

 

[TheJediBrah]

100% it is absolutely racist sometimes.

I 100% agree with this, 70% of the time

 

[Daemon]

Considering we're playing for the draw anyway, I hope Pujara refuses to take singles tomorrow to conserve energy and maximally trigger the loser brigade.

If we’re gonna lose anyway I hope he scores a run a ball 80 and gets out stumped coming down the track to loft Lyon

 

[GotSpin]

Can we move past the heckling incident please, it's all so speculative considering none of us know exactly what was said.

If you insist on discussing it, at least take it to the other specific thread.

Apparently the group ejected were friends of friends

Especially given stephen was most likely the same race as the ones doing it to him.

 

[silentstriker]

Just need three wickets.

 

[Victor Ian]

Each day has ended with the batting team 2 down. I wonder how often that has occurred.

 

[Spikey]

the scenes when day 5 finishes with only 2 wickets down

 

[honestbharani]

If it buckets down out of nowhere, then sure.

 

[Spikey]

also would Pant have to bat at 7 due to time off field?

 

[Spark]

also would Pant have to bat at 7 due to time off field?

I don't think that rule applies because it was an external injury

 

[Burgey]

Yeah. Would like to see him try and play with softer hands from here, though.

O’d like to see the blokes above him consistently pitch in so he can come in at 4/289-320 and cause mayhem like a proper all rounder

 

[Athlai]

I’m finding it strange that more people aren’t talking about what outcome is best for NZ. The protagonists.

Have a suspicion he'll end up at 5 long term

Protaganists have to win sometimes you know.

 

[Athlai]

Protaganists have to win sometimes you know.

Did the Jamaican bobsled team win? No.
Did Eddie the Eagle win? No.
Did the Munstars win? No.

sometimes the good guys lose.

 

[Burgey]

No stop. Brisbane is a step above this level of mongrel behaviour, after all its a city of culture and wisdom. We have a state library, lovely coffee. Lovely people too, great city.

no

 

[Spikey]

yeah like next game
