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

[James]

tim paine gonna get himself suspended hell yeah get in son

Already suspended prior to this to be fair after his spray at the umpire.

 

[Starfighter]

What the hell in Paine doing?

 

[thierry henry]

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

yeah obv, hence the innate silliness of pointing it out...although in this case you could add quite a few extra runs just for actual running between the wickets

 

[cnerd123]

I'm a big fan of keepers being annoying ***** but it's a bad look when you're captain and have dropped two catches in the day.

 

[DriveClub]

Lol Paine with those fake appeals

 

[stephen]

Starc needs to bowl at least 10kph faster than last spell.

 

[Spikey]

Already suspended prior to this to be fair after his spray at the umpire.

I think he's only got a fine for that incident, but logically if he crosses the line again, he's in trouble...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Starc not bowling full and straight has been dumb

 

[Starfighter]

The only ones Starc pitches up he seems to hang out too wide as well.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

The Ashwin "it'll be your last test" comeback was pretty brutaI I have to admit.

Lines up nicely for Carey to debut

 

[Spark]

Plus the broader context of this Test, plus the fact that it's basically mindless abuse.

 

[harsh.ag]

They took off Cummins. Apparently that wasn't it!

 

[Burgey]

Yeah it’s a real sort of trade off isn’t it? Strike rotation gets you closer but I gather from reading the thread they did well for a while with staying at one end each, which helps a bit in this situation too.

These little subtleties are what makes it so compelling

 

[Spikey]

I was a big fan of Ashwin just backing away and delaying the ball each time Paine tried to have a go

 

[stephen]

Yeah but running tires the batsmen out as well. By not running they're in a routine and there's more clarity to their batting.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Siddle would have won.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Strac could at least try bowling closer on the crease.

 

[Gnske]

Like tricking your dog into behaving.

 

[OverratedSanity]

How can McGrath say with a straight face that India have had the rub of the green, I mean come on
