Zampa a good shout.

I'd take Bartlett over Steketee any day of the week. He's not the finished product yet but I think he can be pushing national selection in a few years.

It's a genuine shame Behrendorff is permanently injured as well.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Bartlett, not Bryant.

 

[halba]

they wont get pujara the wall out today.

 

[silentstriker]

Cummins is 1-17 in 5 overs, you can’t say he’s “unrewarded”

 

[vicleggie]

Looks like the pitch really isn't that bad

 

[halba]

Ryan Harris with broken knees over Johnson

johnson no way. agree ryano at peak was the best modern pacer ive seen.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rohit is gonna ton up soon?

 

[Prince EWS]

Is take Bryant over Steketee any day of the week.

Do you mean Bartlett?

Either way, I was going primarily off the Aus A selections. But India has kind of copped it even worse by having to just pick net bowlers they had no intention of considering. In most cases they just stayed over here after the one day series, so we'd probably be looking at Zampa, Stoinis, maybe Kane Richardson etc.

Bartlett? Bryant’s a batsman.

I mean it did yield the highest score of the series

 

[halba]

this attack is so unpenetrative on roads. even the debutant strewn indian attack has more penetration on this road.

this is going to be another boring lame draw. this pitch is a draw and the series is a boring lame draw.

new zealand to keep the top test spot for a long time(too good at home swinging pitch)

 

[silentstriker]

There’s what - 40ish overs left today? If India go at current rate of 3ish an over, that still leaves them about 200 behind at the end of the day. Seems like a very long way to go.

are you in the right thread

 

[trundler]

Lyon needs to step up

This is a terrible post. Roads are really where this attack is comparatively better than the others.

couldnt even get out an injury hit indian team in test number 3 on a final day pitch. lyon is useless and no penetration. been real shitty this series, i dont rate him at all. his overall stats/figures are very deceiving due to success against weaker opposition. india's spinner have been better but injury hit and prone e.g. jadeja. ashwin fantastic first two tests.

indias going to bat all day today and bat all day tomorrow from the looks(subject to declaration) , going to be a lame draw or indian win unless aussies collapse on day 5.

 

[stephen]

All Queenslanders with B names look the same to me.

 

[Prince EWS]

Lyon needs to step up

Now that he's left #SCGnoSpinny behind him he'll be back to his best on the comparatively friendly Gabba road.

You'd hope so. The comms have been going on about how much this pitch will suit Lyon for a day and a half.

 

[trundler]

Rohit looking good.

Raced to 40 in no time.
