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

[Victor Ian]

Win is huge for India too (albeit the far less likely outcome). Think we would only need to beat England 2-0 rather than 3-0 or 4-0 then. Something like that anyway.

Yeah. I'll be pissed if either team shuts up shop and takes a draw.

Oh I don't know. I'd take a draw as India - we then only need to beat England 3-0, rather than whitewash them 4-0. Even this India G side should be too good for Englan at home, but whitewashing is a huge ask.

But yes in the spirit of the game - both going for a result would be great. Shame Pant got out last test when he did - an extra 30 mins of him and who knows...

sundar was born deaf in one ear apparently

no wonder he's not affected by sledging

Just need to get Wade on the other silly side.

 

[Gob]

Is Washington a common name among Indian people?

 

[Senile Sentry]

As common as D Arcy

 

[flibbertyjibber]

You have to continue giving India credit, they just won't lie down and keep fighting. Remarkable given the side they have on the park at present.

Isn't this regular heckling that the crowds do across the world? Or is this an issue?

[Teja.]

Some absolutely classic shots in there.

Does anyone care if Harris gets out to the last ball here?

He'll have done his job as night watchman by that point.

The shot @ 1:30 Good gawd

Yeah but given what has transpired in the series, the media is always going to spin up any controversy possible. This is one of those articles which pretend people are talking about something way more than they actually are.

Its crass but it’s not unusual anywhere

Ind also trailed by 33 runs in 1st innings in Adelaide 2003 test

Green has been such an asset for Aus this series. Plays out deliveries, bowls tidy overs, takes great catches. Cashed in on some downhill skiing last Test, played a decent knock this Test. Good find.

I really hope this is not the last we see of Washington Sundar at Test level.

As good as Cummins has been this series, reckon Hazlewood has the edge as being Oz's best bowler this series.

Cummins the perfect first-change bowler but as he showed today, his style isn't that adept at taking the new ball.

Nah Cummins is a gun new ball bowler. His stats don't change much between him bowling change/ new but opponents score less when he opens because he breaks through sooner.

 

[trundler]

Cummins looked gas*sed more than anything. Think only Bumrah has bowled more overs in the series, at least among pacers and he's out injured.

That and he looked a bit frantic with the way the 7th wicket partnership was going. Make of that what you will.

*A wretched thing by all accounts

Yeah he looked pretty much cooked in his latter spells today. He's bowled a lot.

Hazlewood has been excellent. Surgical in his lines and lengths so far this series. He's peaking right now and you won't see much better bowling than what he's dishing up.

Yeah, been very pleasing to watch. Cummins and Haze prove variety isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Just keep bowling in the corridor.

 

[GotSpin]

Warner so important that tomorrow. Quick runs would be huge

 

[stephen]

Ok so you bastards talking about Indian meant I ordered some tonight. Tandoori chicken followed by medium lamb korma and a garlic and cheese naan which was heavy on the garlic and cheese. Almost as satisfying as watching the cricket all day.
