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

[NotMcKenzie]

Desperate review? The ad person at 7 don't think so.

 

[Burgey]

Who’d have thought something near the stumps sneaks past and hits a pad. Might be worth sticking with?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

These bouncers are the pits. A lot easier to survive when 4/6 balls have zero chance of drawing so much as a shot, less a wicket.

When Wagnerball goes horribly wrong.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

47 runs in 198 deliveries now.

 

[Spark]

Also the creative interpretation of the two bouncers rule coming out again.

Frankly the umpires restricting Aus bouncers would help rather than hinder their cause at this point.

It made sense earlier in the session when it looked like lots of them were going to pop up but now it's just dumb.

 

[thierry henry]

Stating the obvious (and redundant, and pointless) but it’s still kinda crazy how close to the win they actually are, and would be even if they had just been able to run normally

 

[DriveClub]

100 balls for Ashwin now

 

[stephen]

Bowl a half tracker Lyon to induce the stupid shot.

They'd have lost more wickets had they played more shots tbf.

 

[Starfighter]

When Wagnerball goes horribly wrong.

I've sometimes thought Wagner's relative lack of height and pace helps him there. He rarely bowls ones that loop over the batsman.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Paine losing the plot here.

 

[Spark]

Shut the **** up Tim.

 

[Spikey]

tim paine gonna get himself suspended hell yeah get in son

 

[Burgey]

Lol wtf is going on here

 

[Starfighter]

Bowl a half tracker Lyon to induce the stupid shot.

It's worth trying something like that, or bowling an Afridi ball. It's not like they're gonna score nine an over.

 

[Window]

Paine trying to break Ashwin's concentration.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Frankly the umpires restricting Aus bouncers would help rather than hinder their cause at this point.

That's another thing that really annoys me. Because it's true.

 

[Bahnz]

When Wagnerball goes horribly wrong.

same mistake that England made when they were trying to bowl Wagner and Sodhi out on day 5 at Christchurch in 2018.

 

[Burgey]

Don’t mind this around and over the wicket tactic tbh
