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

[stephen]

That was out IMO.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

For any other team, 130 with 5 pegs would be a serious chance. Some irony that we finally started finding decent, indisposable bowlers only for them to also be the worst bunnies seen in cricket in decades.

Is the Indian tail weaker than the Pakistani one?

 

[anil1405]

So Saha and Mayank for next test in place of Jaddu and Vihari? Or will India opt for a Kuldeep or Thakur/Natarajan with a weakened batting line up with Ashwin at 7?

 

[Spark]

yeah he's missed that by a margin.

 

[stephen]

I was wrong.

 

[Gnske]

will siraj be booed when he comes in

Don't bet against it

 

[morgieb]

You could tell from the nature of the review Australia wasn't confident. Hope that doesn't cost them.....

 

[cnerd123]

cheating aussies trying to bully the cheating aussie umpires into giving that out

glad they lost the review for that. good umpiring

 

[Shri]

is siraj a known slogger in local cricket

Think the events of the last two days have lit a fire under the team's arses. They want to make a point here. Was evident even yesterday the way the dugout applauded Sharna's fifty. I'm quietly looking forward to Brisbane. Don't think the fight's left this dog yet.

 

[Shri]

i liked the system where reviews were refreshed after 80 or 90 overs

shame to see it go

yea the fight this team has shown is miles beyond the levels we've seen on past overseas endeavors. They really want to be out there and stay in the game at every moment.

Got to be your first suggestion, Saha 6, Ashwin 7 and then Kuldeep, Saini, Siraj and Bumrah is a horrific lower order.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Still think Starc should ditch the headband

Yeah go with 7 batsman and have a more attacking approach with the bat.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Hope we keep them out on the park for some time yet. Short turnaround between Tests, Pujara looking good, tiring bowlers at the tailend of the series...every little bit will help.

 

[harsh.ag]

I was wrong.

Sig this

Would look a *very* interesting Test if Jadeja and Vihari were fit. Still might be, but given who's out there scoring 3.5 per over will be difficult. Australia well ahead but India have shown serious guts this series, so something might be brewing.
