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

[Spark]

Good field placing there.

 

[Gnske]

Genius field placement, such cricket knowledge on display.

 

[silentstriker]

Ugh. That’s no good. No one is standing up in this lineup. This is it. I expect Cummins to clean up before tea. Especially as he should have the second new ball before then.

 

[Arachnodouche]

**** shot. Rahane's returned to his mean since Melbourne.

 

[Burgey]

Like to see Starc back around the wicket to Agarwal here, then back over before lunch. Often gets him a wicket.

[Gnske]

The bald freak has been dismantled

 

[Shady Slim]

i have to say, green was on earlier when he was bowling and it's only early in his career but he can't get sucked in by being freakishly tall to consistently bowling the "unlucky" morkel length at test level - he's better than that when he gets the ball up, but it's a habit every super tall pacer can find themselves lulled in to based on the plays and misses that it draws

Yeah whenever I've seen in bowl in the Shield and doing well, he's done it with full outswingers.

 

[Daemon]

I've always wondered why more openers who look ok but not great don't get tried down the order more often.

Like maybe they just picked wrongly in school and then have been confined to the toughest batting position in cricket since.

 

[Teja.]

Session split because India have scored at a good click despite losing two crucial wickets.

We need 50+ more each at least from both these batsmen though.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Wade looks like CGI-aged Bob DeNiro

 

[GoodAreasShane]

trundler fuming

You just love to see it

i think in context though unless you trust sundar and thakur's batting you'd have to say the two wickets outweigh the runs though? could have a six out all out situation here

 

[Senile Sentry]

Good morning mates.

 

[Starfighter]

I was not expecting a Tony Dodemaide feature.

Yeah obviously but that's because of a ****house lower order that you can't realistically expect a top order to completely cover for IMO. Australia is ahead due to the difference in quality between the sides but given the possibility of either of the batsman getting out very early as well mean I'd take 80-90 runs from 2 batsman and 100+ for the session.

 

[Shady Slim]

that ad they've been running for the share a coke with you little ripperrrrrrrr campaign on seven is one of the most cringe ads i've ever seen

Some struggle to start against a softened ball like shane watson

yeah that's a fair call

i suppose it's looking at the session in a vacuum vs looking in the greater context of what's needed for india to draw or win the match tbf
