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

Oh look, the Starcophile is up early today, unfortunately for everyone.

Starcophile would mean he loves Starc.

Actually, that would explain a lot.

Thakur averaged 45 in the 2020 Ranji Trophy

Clearly this Aus side is barely Ranji quality.

 

[Daemon]

Trademark Starc hit. Does it so well.

Just look at their 3rd seamer

 

[Daemon]

Thakur getting carried away now. Do what was working for you ****.

 

[TimAngas]

India would be well served by not taking inspiration from how Aus have bowled to the tail this series.

 

[Burgey]

Christ, what a shot

 

[Daemon]

That's the best shot Lyon has ever played surely

 

[trundler]

That's a wonderful drive

 

[cnerd123]

Just look at their 3rd seamer

Starc would get flogged at Ranji. Flat pitches + hot weather + grueling schedule. Would end up bowling like late career Irfan Pathan by the end of his first season.

Meanwhile, Lyon and Starc on course to take Aus to 400 here.

Yes quite right. Starcophobe might be more in order.

 

[Senile Sentry]

*vegetarianism

Yeah definitely not working

 

[TimAngas]

Reminds me of the time Lyon came in as the nightwatchman for Ponting in Ponting’s last test and got a standing ovation from the crowd.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd this tiny delay in commentary is infuriating. Even though the commentary itself is shite

I've seen some pessimistic posts in my time...

 

[Burgey]

Lyon showing the Indian middle order and tail how to actually deal with a short ball without ending your tour.

 

[Jarquis]

India would have snapped your hand off for this pre-toss

it's a short ball from Thakur, plz. He's not hurting anyone even if he got to bowl off 18 yards.

 

[TimAngas]

Lyon actually deserves a test 50 btw. Definitely should have got one by now.

Bit of a difference dealing with Bouncers from the 7 foot Australians and the India D attack
