**Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

[Nintendo]

Just got an ad for some Alex Jones style boner pills on 7 with Cricket themed audio about a good stroke. Top stuff.

 

[Qlder]

Head with 300 runs @ 100.00 in the series. And I'm one of the few who picked him to top the runs from both sides in prediction thread

 

[Starfighter]

Siraj has found an extra yard of pace here. Getting over 140.

 

[vicleggie]

Katto is good value, haha

 

[morgieb]

Damn now you're making me tune into Hayden. It's interesting too as it sounds like Katich hasn't been this animated since 2009.

Good to see personalised advertising on free to air TV

Geez why does Siraj keep bowling short again and again.

You got it too?

 

[Kirkut]

This bowling attack parallels with NZ's bowling in the 80s, where it was Hadlee or nothing.

 

[Spark]

That might be the hardest earned fifty of his career.

 

[Kirkut]

Happy for Smith! Want him to become a run machine again but not against us.

 

[Burgey]

I was one of those people who actually loved watching him bat at his peak; but this innings has been incredibly painful.

It’s been incredibly punishing but this is possibly a series defining partnership. They’re putting a lot of miles in the bowlers legs here in typically **** house Brisbane conditions and setting up a potentially big first innings

I get "add inches within days"

Yeah it's been rough viewing but in its own way it's been really impressive, more as a demonstration of willpower than anything else (cf the way Marnus got out, frustrated into submission)

 

[TheJediBrah]

That might be the hardest earned fifty of his career.

A lot like the ton he made at this same ground in 2017-18 Ashes. From memory it took him nearly 300 rocks

 

[Burgey]

Maybe he has but I think India haven't got it right. Either too wide or not short enough when they've got the line correct.

Yeah that’s true to an extent but even those balls at thigh/ hip high he’s working through wide mid on/ mid wicket he was just bunting back last summer because he was so closed off

That was just a locked-in grind rather than him looking like he'd brought a toothpick to the crease

Tbh that could well have happened to him as well if he’d batted any length of time with Marnus. Head just allows him to bat in his bubble and not gaf about the rate of scoring

 

[Starfighter]

That's a remarkable shot.

 

[Spark]

India look leggy out there
