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

[Burgey]

Gilchrist and Hussey on comms but it's Warne constantly talking about how to bat on day five. FMD it's woeful.

Also Huss, Labushagne is on to bowl to Pant because the rough is a bit too wide for an offie but is perfect for a leg spinner.

 

[DriveClub]

Has Lyon been hit out of the attack by Pant? ?

 

[morgieb]

Jadeja probably not batting right?

They've hinted he will if needed (i.e. the game looks close)

 

[Niall]

That's interesting from Warne, having both Pant and Saha play in Brisbane. Only four bowlers practical now, so makes sense to strengthen the keeping while having Pant at 6.

A surprisingly sensible call from Warne. Agarwal or Shaw won't score anymore runs batting in the middle order and as Warne said they can't bring in another bowler as the tail would be horrific.

 

[hazsa19]

Even though Australia will probably win this comfortably enough, the cricket has been brilliant again as it has been throughout the series. Each night I say I’ll watch an hour, but end up watching until lunch or beyond.

 

[Daemon]

We’re doing way better than I anticipated.

I think we’ll win this with injured Pant and Jadeja tonning up.

No reason for Bumrah not to score a kinky fifty against a tiring attack either.

Warne getting his ego stroked there. WAC.

Said this on Saturday tbh. But it hurts to agree with him

Meanwhile, how delicious there when Huss assumed this team of the past 25 years would have Lyon as spinner - just forgot Warne who is sitting next to him. That moment of stunned silence was ****ing gold.

 

[Burgey]

This is great ball striking from Pant here. Taking the field on

 

[hazsa19]

Haha Pant. He’s up there with Ali for batsman that are just great fun to watch when going well.

 

[Son Of Coco]

That's some pretty good hitting for a bloke with a ****ed elbow. He looked restricted in his crossbat shots early, but is going ok now.

 

[silentstriker]

Good 50. This would be good in the first innings. But this is just a matter of time until he hits one straight in the air.

 

[Daemon]

Pants on fire (I’ve always wanted to say this)

 

[cnerd123]

Good stuff Pant. Now triple it.

Not against the idea of him playing as a specialist batsman next test.

 

[morgieb]

I'm getting potential Headingley vibes here. Lyon can't handle the pressure when the batsmen are attacking him hard.

 

[trundler]

Lyon struggling against LO batting as expected

 

[Tom Flint]

India are trying to chase this down

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is cute but itll last another few overs at best from Pant.

Agreed
