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

[OverratedSanity]

I think Paine has injured his thumb, judging by how he's taking the bottom hand off the bat a lot.

I dunno we cant rule out that he might be trying to fake it to try and give wade the gloves

IMO they do not need anymore and should declare. If you assume one session total is lost to rain, that's three sessions to bowl India out. And this total is low enough that they may try to be aggressive, which would play into Australia's hands.

 

[trundler]

Paine's batting has been very valuable

 

[Daemon]

Saini's been so poor. Can't really be mad at him because of the injury though.

I wouldn't be declaring yet but they should definitely look to accelerate a bit more from here.

 

[h_hurricane]

Thakur and Sundar exceeded my expectations. Saini is matching it.

Agreed, this is not a total to declare on even if you're 100% certain you'll lose a session to rain.

 

[Window]

Why Saini? Just keep bowling sundar

Conceded 19 runs in two overs while Siraj has conceded 5 from 2 on the other end. Yikes.

It's like you want us to declare with a gettable target

 

[Starfighter]

They have to send Starc out here, but you just know they won't

 

[cnerd123]

THAKUR!

God I love him.

 

[Daemon]

Sharma worth his place in the side if only just to take slip catches. Kohli should never be in the cordon ever again.

 

[morgieb]

Not sure why you'd send Cummins in over Starc as things stand.

 

[h_hurricane]

Stupid Mayank knocking Shardul on his shoulders. We need those shoulders to get us the winning runs you ****

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, pitch is still playing reasonably well, 300 a minimum target here.

 

[Starfighter]

Maybe try sending out the guy with an average of 22 and a better strike rate instead of the one with an average of 15

Captain fields where he wants to.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Honestly, from the way Indian fans were talking about Shardul I expected 17-0-1-78 or somesuch

He may be flaky af, but his best is pretty good imo

 

[cnerd123]

Yea as much as I hate Nohit he's more than justified a run as first-choice opener away from home this series. Averaging 40 with some starts and a fifty, and catching everything that comes his way.

 

[Burgey]

haha for some reason i only just saw Harris' dismissal. Beautiful. Befitting the man.
