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

[Senile Sentry]

I have never seen such a bunch of Aussies so eager to throw in the towel so early. Never ever in my viewing life.

Here you have the ****ing captain talking of the 4th test when enough overs were left to force a win.

Also speaks hugely about Indianism - never say die spirit. And never give up.

Bring it on Gabbaaa

 

[Bahnz]

who actually skippers if it isn't paine? smith again?

The comms were bandying about Cummins as captain at one point this series. Don't think it's a good idea, but not 100% sure I can think of anyone better.

Australia’s Next Test Captain

So who’s it gonna be?

Probably either Smith or Cummins. Maybe Mike Brearley Head. Or Misbah Usman. The options look pretty sparse, alas.

Hope Tim and Ash shook hands at the end. I missed the last over. Banter is well and good but it should never become personal.

 

[Spark]

Or Misbah Usman.

oh man this would be amazing. 100% on board for this

 

[Dan]

The best candidate for captain is also the guy who is the best candidate to open and should have been doing so since the Fourth Test of the Ashes. And I say that as someone who has never been his biggest fan.

i was actually low-key annoyed that they cut away the camera just as paine and ashwin were about to shake hands there.

I think it had to be fistbumps but yeah I think they did.

Hey that’s stealing my (already very derivative) bit!

Head will presumably be recalled. Way too important to bother about the petty **** that has him out of the side currently.

Bidaily reminder that Head > Wade.

 

[Burgey]

They bowled way too much short rubbish. Be so cooked for Brisbane now. Hope we win the toss and bat for six sessions more.

They’ll be fine for Brisbane. Had a day off before bowling four sessions and ten days off between tests.

Neser might get a run up there for Starc, it’s his home ground and Starc was pretty clearly out of sorts here. But likely they’ll run with the same attack.

More interesting is the opening spot - if Pucovski’s shoulder is no good then it would be Harris in (yuck) or Wade back up top (yuck) and Head in the middle order (meh).

For all the talk about the big 3 killing world cricket by only playing each other, it can't be argued that India v Aus is as good as it gets for the neutral viewer.

Any idea what Tim was saying? The commentator was saying it was personal, not just banter

I'd be very keen (if that's the right word) to check out talkback radio if Usman actually was appointed captain, lol

Only through Australia playing like **** tbf

the word 'dickhead' was used at one point, and saying "i've got more friends in india than you" which, you know, not exactly mensa grade here.

Got better things than do dick size measuring on a website dude

You say that but it more or less guarantees the worst commentary box possible
