4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

You and the missus must miss

Some proper dribbling here on your part. Mop yourself up and complete a sentence.

Really not impressed by the behaviour of the QLD Govt throughout this entire affair.

Yeah Queenslanders are not exactly happy to have gone through a 3 day lockdown based on a single case. It's at the point that it's health theatre at the moment.

 

[Spikey]

Wait, after all that, India's initial hotel conditions were the exact conditions they wanted to avoid for completely sensible reasons? Jesus christ QLD

I gather it’s been fixed now, hopefully? Shouldn’t be this difficult to get **** together. You’re only moving two sporting teams ffs. It isn’t the Ruby Princess.

This is what it was like sitting at the table trying to have a grown up discussion while the twins cracked the shits at each other when they were about two.

Is GAS the one making you watch bad TV, or going out for a boys weekend and leaving the old man behind

Can you two ****s put each other on ignore or something?

Not gonna post it but old mate B Julian is proposing Wade opening and Moz at 5 for some more bowling.

 

[trundler]

Will Henriques really add more bowling? A 6th bowler isn't gonna run through sides. The problem is clearly that they couldn't get to 300 before Sydney and even there they let 200-2 to 348 in the first dig.

Any update on Pucovski?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Is Julian the only decent player-commentator in Aus other than O'Keefe and Ponting? I know he does more of an anchor role but he hasn't come across as vapid as some of the others. Tends to outright ignore a lot of the chatter too.

 

[vicleggie]

He didn't say his name at all (according to Alyssa, at least, Ellyse Perry to confirm). Just said "I'm the next big thing in Indian cricket".

WAC/G

Its in Tamil unfortunately. Alyssa healy had mentioned it a few months ago so was nice to get Ashwin confirming it. Wish Kohli had admitted it tbh, would be funny to watch him pretend he's no longer a horndog.

What's this about?

Cleaned up a bit. Let's keep it that way.

I would absolutely love to move on and focus on the vastly more interesting endeavour of thinking about random fringe Shield cricketers all the time

One thing I haven't seen discussed yet is how much rope Lyon has left? Swepson's performances early in the season really put pressure on Lyon, and he's responded by bowling okay and really should have taken two more yesterday had Paine not had a stinker, but I really think he's only two or three bad tests from getting dropped. I think people are complacent about his position in the side.

 

[gabbadan]

I would bring Henriques in a bowler of his pace would bring about a few slogs to the outfield. Our attack is too samey.

 

[aussie tragic]

Obviously who ever wins the toss will bat first. But what's a par score?

Last 3 Tests here the teams that won the toss batted first and lost the match after scoring 240 (Pak), 144 (SL) and 302 (Eng) in 1st innings

Last time India played here in 2014 they scored 408 batting first and lost.

Maybe a good toss to lose.

This is a seriously strange take tstl

Seriously ? Hopefully Swepson has improved but he is not in the class as Lyon for consistency.

Just who else has Australia got ?

"We are locked up in our rooms, have to make our own beds, clean our own toilets. Food is coming from a nearby Indian restaurant which will be given to us on our floor. We can’t move out of the floor that’s been designated to us. The entire hotel is empty, but we can’t use any amenities in the hotel including the swimming pool and the gym. All the cafes and restaurants in the hotel are shut".

What was the point of booking the whole hotel for them, then?

What a joke. Might as well make them stay in dormitories.

Cameron Green bowled 12 overs for the match, but MOAR BOWLING.

NSW would do it. CA are cowards.
