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

[Burgey]

But that would include many visiting sides batting first and getting spooked out. Based on how the wicket itself played, I think 400 is par. And usually when you win the toss and bat first anywhere in the world, you are kinda expecting to score 400 unless its an absolute greentop or minefield where you still bat first for some reason.

Sure, but it’s a stronger basis in fact than a glib “oh well it’s a 400-450 deck” before both sides have batted. Still should have got more though, for sure. Weird innings - 2/20 odd you take 370. 3/200 you don’t, 5/220 you do, 5/300 odd you don’t.

If it’s of any assistance, Aus has lost once here after posting 330 first dig, and that was the Bodyline test.

Cummins to Gill. Kid doesn’t exactly like getting in line with the ball, does he?

 

[trundler]

Oh **** Cummins bowling like a man who knows he has to get this done himself

 

[silentstriker]

Objectively that's not a bad score. But geez that was a thoroughly underwhelming batting effort there. Ponderous and profligate.

yeah objectively that’s a good score which should be defendable and Aussies haven’t really lost here after making this type of score.

however, to be bowled out by a bunch of net bowlers under 400 is decidedly poor.

And aussies right into it as I type this. They’re really gonna miss Kohli here in this situation.

jfc Che Pu almost out first ball

it's trauma time isn't it

 

[Burgey]

They’re bad numbers for Pujara vs Cummins this series

 

[Gnske]

Feel like theres a wicket around the corner almost every ball with this god.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Fmd that was a good over, even by Cummins standards

wow hes such a good bowler and so good at taking top order wickets

 

[silentstriker]

Cummins is just sooo soooo good. It’s so much fun to watch. Given I don’t even know who this XI is, I’m almost a neutral just enjoying the superb Aussie fast bowling.

How many balls in Cummins' gun over would have? Hitting the stumps has become a real meme measure lately.

 

[trundler]

Decent jag in, just needs to be a tad fuller

trauma time

India a/o for <100 in the next session and a half
Aus don't enforce follow on, make us field again, and smash another 400 odd runs at around run a ball. Another one of our bowlers breaks down injured in the process
India end up needing to bat the better part of 2 days to save the test, struggle to survive. One batter gets injured by Aus bowlers, the injured bowler doesn't bat, and we end up 8 down and all out

Your face is a desperate measure.

Correct. Or in Flintoff’s epic over in the 2005 series as another example

 

[Prince EWS]

Your face is a desperate measure.

Also correct.

 

[harsh.ag]

Cummins bowling beautifully

 

[trundler]

Steve Waugh would've claimed that Pujara edge as a catch.

 

[Burgey]

Steve Waugh would've claimed that Pujara edge as a catch.

And rightly so. Cleanly taken

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Fun contest this, what Test cricket is all about

The stench of rotting bait in here isn't too pleasant, but I have a beer, some good cricket to watch, life should be good
