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

[Spark]

He's got nothing to prove here - let him go off and get it examined

 

[StephenZA]

I think the physio just popped a joint back in...

 

[stephen]

This is good batting but they've definitely had a slice of luck. Guess England deserve it as pretty much nothing has gone their way in the previous Tests with the bat.

They've had several cakes worth of luck really. Not just a slice.

 

[Spark]

Man I don't think this is wise but fair play staying out there. ****ing brute of a ball

 

[stephen]

yeah i'm all for bowling friendly pitches but i honestly think this summer's pitches have been excessive

It's a fine line.

tbf this is after having not a crumb all tour so you can’t begrudge it

 

[Gnske]

Bairstow has to prove he's tough

 

[stephen]

Cummins always hits batsmen high on the bat. Gets brutal bounce, given his height.

Yeah it means that we get more than 2 days of cricket to watch, so I'm not complaining.

 

[Son Of Coco]

This could get entertaining!

 

[Shady Slim]

**** me what a shot that sailed right over him at deep square too it was perfect

 

[_Ed_]

Lyon to Bairstow, SIX runs
More pongo

What does that even mean?

 

[Spark]

jos,

 

[Spikey]

**** me, we could have another opener who can catch

 

[Gnske]

Looks like Bairstow is going to be taking the gloves back with all this intent.

30 more tests

 

[Spark]

not sure they enforce the follow on now that boland's gone for a scan

 

[morgieb]

Bairstow's probably going to have the gloves back by the next time England plays.

 

[Spark]

ah, warne on, that's my cue to put on the sen commentary

 

[_Ed_]

Credit to Bairstow where it's due - this has genuinely been great.

 

[Spark]

i don't think bairstow rates this tail
