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

[Shri]

new balls has been wasted so far

not full enough or making them play

 

[Gnske]

Unironically falling apart here

 

[Starfighter]

This is terrible bowling and it's a shame we have no more batsmen left because we somehow lost wickets to it.

 

[Shri]

nattu is tired

 

[cnerd123]

Fitness is so, so important in Test cricket.

Wade will hopefully still be thinking about that shot in 30 years.

 

[harsh.ag]

Had to catch up to India, all these injuries.

Oz really are in a no-win situation.

I'm still angry at Smith. Sundar has gotten worse with each passing over and his last spell was particularly poor. But because he's forgotten the strokes he used to play he got bogged down and got out. I don't really expect better from Wade.

 

[Tom Flint]

Rahane at gully off Saini - was an easy chance for this level, and tbh I reckon I could have taken it.

Then I think Nattu got an edge that fell just short of Pujara at first slip.

Thank you

Always good to dwell on the moment that ended your career.

Smith probably won't still be thinking about this random game in 30 years. Wade will never forget his last Test though.

Smith at least has credit in the bank that I can excuse him.

 

[vicleggie]

Not watching, but sounds like a throwback to the bad old days of scrawny vegetarian medium pacers

 

[Gnske]

that bowling at the end was like @Senile Sentry's posts, limp, rife with error and you feel sorry for everyone associated with it.

 

[Athlai]

Eww Paine is scoring runs

 

[vicleggie]

This bowling attack has more holes in it than Chris Cairns' court testimony

 

[Starfighter]

That was one of the least satisfying days of cricket from a team perspective I've seen. The bowling was disciplined in the first session but slid through the day and was loose in the last session, yet our batting was so directionless rather than being 2 or 3 for 350 we're still in significant danger of making well under 400. All this against an attack with 4 tests experience, and who've lost one bowler.

Wade and Harris should be gone forever, and someone needs to tie Smith to a chair and force him to watch his innings from five years ago.

 

[cnerd123]

there are going to be some sore legs tomorrow. Hopefully Saini can bowl. If not, the Aus lower order could really pile on the runs.

Taking 5 wickets and going for <280 in the day was quite the effort.

 

[Kirkut]

Fitness is so, so important in Test cricket.

Precisely the reason why our fast bowling standards improved. Kohli is tough and expects high fitness standards from his team, this in turn transformed Shami and Ishant into the bowlers they are today.

 

[sunilz]

Fielding responsible for today's bad day. Can't expect much from an inexperienced attack.
