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

[trundler]

Paine is a solid 7.5/10 keeper, isn't he? Doesn't take those blinders

 

[Kraken]

Pant batting like someone who's clearly injured, he won't last long here

 

[Burgey]

Christ, Warne just mentioned the idea of a new ball attack of Cummins and McGrath as Aus AT for the past 25 years. What a ****ing batsman's nightmare.

I'd have Johnson as 3rd quick just for some crazy variation.

Surely Rhino Harris as 1st change?

Nah Harris would have to take the new rock in that lineup

Sure, for relentlessness. But for pure "let's just blow these ***** away when on-songness", Johnson is almost unparalleled.

 

[TheJediBrah]

What's Vihari doing and why is Pant batting before him? Surely he's not injured too

or "let them off the hook with loose crap after the other 2 have built all the pressure"

I actually thought it might mean they were going to have a bit of a dash and see if they could put themselves in a position to chase the target. Pant's start doesn't really suggest that's why he went out there though.

 

[Prince EWS]

Gotta love how he was too injured to keep yesterday but fit enough to get promoted ahead of a specialist batsman today though.

 

[silentstriker]

lol catch it

 

[Burgey]

How come they got ball tracking for that replay in about 15 seconds but when there's a review it takes about 5 minutes?

Looks like pant is limited in terms of shots he can play because of the injury. And agree with comms you should wear an arm guard when it's already injured

They do that now with Starc at times. It's well worth it.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Pant is going to get hit again at some stage. The best thing for him would be to get out.

it was very entertaining either way though wasn’t it.

I think it's more of a procedural issue (i.e. look at all areas first before going to ball-tracking).

Sometime it's a case of taking longer to calibrate.

It's his back arm that's injured isn't it? I don't know that it would do anything

I was going to say this but he getting hit on it is what caused the injury originally, so maybe.

 

[Coronis]

Shocking they’ve returned to the Pujara bashing.

Yeah, I just don't know that an arm guard will protect where he copped it - wasn't it almost right on his elbow?
