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

[Spark]

Starc was Australia's worst bowler (and arguably worst player even ahead of Paine) all test imo. Surprised he's getting a passionate defence from the aussie posters. And yeah I do get some of the criticism has been inaccurate tbf.

oh no he was shithouse in this test. it's just that trundler is wrong and well we can't have that

 

[trundler]

Plainly you haven’t read them then

Yes but it's pot kettle more than anything. Would be like you lecturing people on having political beliefs consistent with one's lifestyle.

Bring back Patto for Brisbane

 

[Burgey]

I think it was a UAE tour where he was bowling off cutters every ball at 130km/h and they were turning square. Genuinely disappointed he didn't go for either a spell as a 37 year old second 'spinner' or a T20 mercenary career with them.

This is why I advocated using Bracken as the second spinner in India in the immediate post-Warne era. Those cutters he used to bowl with the keeper up in ODIs would have been a nightmare on wearing decks

 

[Teja.]

Surely not in dispute anymore that Pant is in the AT BG XI?

 

[OverratedSanity]

oh no he was ****house in this test. it's just that trundler is wrong and well we can't have that

Haha I know I just thought youd be too annoyed by his bowling to put in the effort.

Do the runs he scored count as "as wicketkeeper" or not?

i stand athwart the tide of bad bowling and bad posting alike

Smithy didn't learn anything about not cheating from his ban

he did keep during the game, so i suppose they count? What do we do when a team uses 2 keepers during a match.

 

[Line and Length]

I doubt if anyone got offended with Paine's sledges. At least he's funny

Where's the humour? Paine got frustrated, tried to break Ashwin's concentration, failed and then dropped a catch because his own concentration was shot.

 

[honestbharani]

Oh buddy. India have had some insane overseas losses in the past 80 years....

Yeah worst session perhaps but remember us getting bundled out for 166 over 2 innings in Durban etc.

My beliefs are consistent with my lifestyle. If a kid from a single parent family in the western suburbs whose maternal grandfather was a cable joiner and whose mother was a secretary can get to the point in life where he takes his kids out for $1,250 birthday dinners, that’s the Australian Labor Party dream.

You don’t have to be used as child labour in a local dam building project to lean left, chief.

When you put it like that it is pretty funny tbh

Matthew Wade was Australia’s worst player this test by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[ajdude]

Oh look, it’s the Hogg Pile Destroyer himself

 

[trundler]

Haha yeah forgot all about Wade's hilarious dismissals. Needs to go immediately.

 

[Shri]

guys ashwin might also be injured

ffs
