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

[Burgey]

Natarajan and Washington Sundar debut. I think first time 3 Tamilians in the Indian team.

What does this mean for who's in and who's out?

 

[silentstriker]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt is thisssssssss

This match should not be granted Test status

 

[silentstriker]

What does this mean for who's in and who's out?

I think it means Bumrah and Ashwin out.

 

[silentstriker]

So this is literally Bumrah, Sharma, Yadav and Shami all out. Ashwin and Jadeja also out. So all of our top four pacers and both of our spinners out. Best batsman is out. Opener is out.
Ffs. What is thisssssss

 

[Cruxdude]

What does this mean for who's in and who's out?

Think in place of Bumrah and Jaddu. Not sure about the batting.

 

[Cruxdude]

I think it means Bumrah and Ashwin out.

Think Ashwin plays and Sundar in place of Jaddu

 

[TimAngas]

Opposition spinners to debut in Australia the last decade:

Mason Crane
Tabraiz Shamsi
Keshav Maharaj
Karn Sharma
Scott Borthwick

 

[Gnske]

Nah the fascist tower despite looking fascist is nowhere near as bad as a couple of the 60s/70s/80s built concrete monstrosities. Once they're all gone then the fascist tower comes into play.

Some of the newer ones from the Newman era look really good (and a lot less fascist). The one on Alice St is a beautiful and distinct building.

The Brisbane skyline looks really good these days. Or at least it looks like a modern city. Closer to Sydney than Melbourne though, which is a shame because Melbourne is the best looking city in Australia.

Oh I agree it looks alright, until you look at the tip and you just think of a huge throbbing dick.

Will be interesting how it all looks once the Queens Wharf development is eventually done.

The first choice india XI would whitewash this XI nine out of ten times.

 

[TimAngas]

Australia batting. I think Australia will try and be aggressive: Need a result with rain about, and also inexperienced bowling attack.

 

[TimAngas]

Washington at 7??

 

[Starfighter]

Are India seriously playing four fast bowlers? They may as well have kept Hardik around.

 

[TimAngas]

I guess it's:

Rohit
Gill
Pujara
Rahane (c)
Mayank
Pant (wk)
Washington
Shardul
Natarajan
Siraj
Saini

 

[morgieb]

That has to be close to the worst bowling attack I've ever seen in Australia. No excuses for anything under 500 here.

 

[Starfighter]

If we can't beat this lot we may as well declare Australian cricket finished.

 

[Teja.]

Washington Sundar has played 12 FC games in his life and his last one was more than 3 years ago.

Our entire bowling attack has less than 5 tests between them.

WTAF.

 

[silentstriker]

 

[Teja.]

Siraj leading the attack as the most experienced bowler with 2 tests behind him.

 

[Burgey]

Australia batting. I think Australia will try and be aggressive: Need a result with rain about, and also inexperienced bowling attack.

Thought the forecast is pretty good? Brisbane with 40-50% chance of rain is bog standard with afternoon storms isn't it?
