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

[Qlder]

Cricket being cricket again. Players have just been off for over an hour and then they announce play will resume at 3:30 with Tea to be taken at 4:30. Why would you need a tea break at all, just play until it next rains

Cricket does itself no favours in situations like this.

We have a beach, right next to the shops

That's not a beach. It's a petrie dish of human skin cells and disease.

Said it before, these dumb rain resumption rules waste more time than a somewhat slow overrate. Far more frustrating to watch as a viewer too.

 

[the big bambino]

They're both crap but at least they've tried to do something about the slow over rates.

 

[Burgey]

Jadeja has shut up his critics thousandth time in his career, most ever in cricket history.

And this time he hasn't picked and chosen a favourable surface. Go him.

Still bowled like a drain, though.

The game really does its best to turn people off watching sometimes. It's ridiculous.

Omg that appalling man-made thing on the **** filled river? It's an abomination.

 

[OverratedSanity]

So much time left still. Going to be a pretty embarrassing loss considering how much time has been lost to rain. Not that most of the players in the XI are capable of feeling embarrassment tbf.

 

[Burgey]

Gee he's been terrific this test, Cummins. Pace is right up compared with Perth too.

 

[Son Of Coco]

"I don't think I've ever seen Pat Cummins look so...aroused".

Interesting commentary at the end of that over.

Your face should be capable of feeling embarrassment tbh.

As should your posts.

siraj at 9 lolol

 

[Burgey]

Ummm, why is Siraj at nine?

 

[Shri]

If Rohit can bat at 6 and Kohli at 4, Siraj can bat at 9

 

[Burgey]

Very odd to knock back singles with number nine in, but tbh it's as much aout time as anything else so fair enough I guess in this situation.

 

[Daemon]

Haha this is one of the closest calls I’ve ever seen

 

[Burgey]

Jeez I dunno if the bat is grounded there but fair enough if not given imo.

 

[Gnske]

Throw to the stumps was ****

At least the third umpire went with his gut feel

 

[Burgey]

Should have given it for the laughs from the ensuing threat to abandon the tour.
