4th Test at Sydney (?) - Jan 5-9 2022

I think he's *slowly* starting to crack Test cricket. Still am unconvinced about him against quality seam but he's at least starting to look like a proper option rather than a walking wicket.

He's probably better than both our openers.

Crazy what's happened to Smith. Before that Indian series I thought every time he batted he could score a century. Now I feel like he's likely to get out every ball. Nuts.

Caught it from Pujara.

Hahahaha I like that this was Warne's legitimate reason for why Harris has no tons because he's faced test quality bowlers.

He’s such a weirdo when it comes to his personal biases

As Burgey pointed out, it would legit kill him to praise Steve Waugh yet he comes out with this crap about Harris

Loss of form. Happens to every batsman not named Bradman.

Not exactly saying much.

Nah, it definitely started with the Pakistan and NZ series.

 

[Spark]

Play on ffs.

That Pakistan series I thought was just a fluke because he came in situations where Australia was miles on top. I'll grant the NZ series he felt uncomfortable, but even then I felt it was just a one-off because Wagner knew how to dry up his scoring zones.

This feels different.

 

[Spark]

Farcical. We're going to lose another half hour of play because of, what, three minutes of rain?

 

[Apex Predator]

Sydney & rain why even bother with this

If there was more on the radar I could understand it, but yeah it feels like a passing shower at best.

I can understand Australia being pissed off if the deck turned nasty on them all of a sudden, but they're up 3-0 so who cares?

It was like, four pixels on the radar. Ridiculous umpiring.

2 out of the next 4 days have rain. The chances of a result are zero.

Reminder a top order of Hameed, Crawley and Malan are playing.

yes but the chance of a Usman 400 is still there

 

[andruid]

yes but the chance of a Usman 400 is still there

he'll make a fluid 69 n.o. before the rest of the match is rained off

 

[Gnske]

He'll need some fluids pumped into him if he gets to 400

 

[honestbharani]

He'll need some fluids pumped into him if he gets to 400

He meaning @Spikey ?

 

[Victor Ian]

He'll need some fluids pumped into him if he gets to 400

He'll get those at 69.

 

[Bat Flip]

Bit of rain in the morning, but should get a full day in, or close to it today

Rest of the days not flash at this juncture..
