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

[Son Of Coco]

Isa Guha with another gaffe

Unless Isa's voice has deepened remarkably, it was one of the blokes.

 

[halba]

Well played Jadeja for his 77. He's undroppable for the rest of the series and frankly any test for India

Averages I think 50 in Aus.

Lots of pressure on the three batters- gill, Kohli or Rohit to retain their place in the team

 

[Gnske]

Good knock. I'm shocked that a better batsman than most of the specialist batsmen we selected has made runs. Gambhir's brain should be studied by scientists to understand the decision to leave him out.

Did anyone who has actually watched cricket actually think appointing Gambhir was a good thing?

 

[morgieb]

Quality knock but a weird shot by Jadeja.

 

[Burgey]

Quality knock but a weird shot by Jadeja.

It was a good bouncer. Got it high enough he couldn’t keep it down even if he was just looking for one

 

[Stapel]

Is Mitch unable to bowl, or just considered a louzy option?

 

[Spark]

Realistically I think that first ball drop probably ended any realistic chances of Aus winning this game. They really had to bowl India out within 50 overs IMO.

 

[Betterpolo]

Take out Rahul and Jadeja and the rest are 44-7 which is appalling really. It's all a long way from Perth isn't it.

 

[Spark]

Is Mitch unable to bowl, or just considered a louzy option?

Both (he isn't fully fit IMO)

 

[andruid]

He had better figure it out if Australia are going to close this match out.

 

[Spark]

Like look at Starc here. This is not a bloke who can immediately back up for another 20 overs over the course of the next day.

 

[Spark]

And yes the fact that Marsh has only bowled two overs today just adds to the disgrace of his continued selection. We're basically playing him as a specialist fielder at this point.

 

[Gnske]

If Ryan Harris can bowl without a knee, Starc can bowl while a little bit sweaty

 

[Spark]

Oh cool we're bowling like dickheads to the tail again.

 

[halba]

Can’t be dropping ATGs

It's almost like SAF dropping Kallis. He played every game...

 

[Gnske]

Anyone seen a guy with severe alcoholism on the sideline? Clarke has to be yelling instructions to the bowlers

His batting is back to his pre recalled self I note as well.

 

[Burgey]

Cummins 4/54 hitting the towel with an occasional snorter decides to bowl four bumpers an over to a slogging tail ender with 30 runs to play with

 

[halba]

Take out Rahul and Jadeja and the rest are 44-7 which is appalling really. It's all a long way from Perth isn't it.

With only two fit pace bowlers. Starc and Cummins. They must be really tired now

anyone mind giving me context on "I only believe in Jassi bhai."
