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

[Spark]

Surprised that Lyon hasn't bowled more today tbh, Stokes never quite looked comfortable against him

Nice Garry!

Australia had to have taken a minimum of 5 wickets prior to the second new ball to have a shot. That helps.

Fair effort from Stokes.

 

[grecian]

oh **** off, and you oz ***** can stop gambhiring, we are losing this.

 

[Burgey]

Looks like it, that attempted yorker went a long way

I quite like that captaincy tbh. Plenty would hold him back for the new ball

 

[Anil]

looks like england is not in the mood for a lollapse this time...headed for a tame draw...

Yeah makes a lot of sense. Also makes this a very long old session for England to survive, no more just waiting around for the new rock

I think Australia's spent a lot of time trying to get reverse, but given how rare that is post-2018 I just would've had Lyon wheeling on one end unless there were two righties at the crease.

I don’t quite get a RH batsman taking an off stump guard to a left armer reversing it away like Buttler did there. Surely makes you play at more than you need to?

 

[Kraken]

Lyon from one end, rotate the quicks imo

 

[Kraken]

Army is loud today - it’s good gear, very entertaining

 

[Calm_profit]

Ban this ground!!

 

[Burgey]

Ban this ground!!

Ban this fool

England might actually not-lose this!

5-0 under threat here

Something about the scg and teams being able to draw games on day 5?

Yeah it's the rain on days 1-4.

Think part of the rationale is that you know exactly where your off stump is so it helps with leaving

 

[Spark]

Cummins looks totally cooked

 

[Burgey]

Yeah this is as poor as I’ve seen him bowl in, well, forever tbh.

 

[Anil]

boland, lyon and green are the strike bowlers right now...

 

[Burgey]

Think this is high tbh. Good shape back though
