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

[Arachnödouche2.0]

We can say all we want about preserving Bumrah's fitness but the guy likes to bowl. You can't take the ball away from him.

As he should. All this talk of preserving him smacks of pre-liberalization India.

This is terrible lmao

If it was to somehow remain dry for the rest of the Test, India would honestly have a pretty good shot right about now…..

16/3

i think AUS praying for rain now? With ind batting, they could get the runs ODI style?

 

[Burgey]

47 allout please

Should back them in for 35 ao. Would be hilarious.

 

[Gnske]

Steven Smith, a PROTECTED SPECIES?

 

[Gnske]

This is batting like I've never seen it before

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kinda think India are shooting themselves in the foot by taking too many wickets lmao. Just keep the runs down. Don't think our batsmen want an awkward 30 or so overs to negotiate.

 

[silentstriker]

Where the **** is the best batter since Bradman?

this opening combination is dire. is this the worst opening combination for Aus ever? hardly a start in 4-5 INN, i know its early but Khawaja/Mcsweeney is easily one of the worst ive ever seen for Aus in Tests. Runs for the first wicket is barely above double digit.

We had Finch and Harris opening not so long ago, please show some respect to their legacy

I really would love to know McDonald and Vettori's galaxy brain thinking that led to Marsh batting 4.

jeez terrible. the opening combinations past 7 years , wow.

Just not developing any batters in Sheffield Shield. Fast Bowlers only being developed(always cupboard is full of fast bowlers), but no batters, i think same problem NZ has as well? Rachin Ravindra, promising prospect but is down to 37 AVE only for NZ.

Is it the conditions, not conducive or something? NZ still producing young quicks but batting cupboard is thin after Kanos retires.

 

[Gnske]

Australian batsmen: Bumrah scare me
Head: Whom'styve??

 

[Burgey]

Travis Head still father of Indian team, even on day 5.

 

[CricketDreamer]

Again Head-ache for India ..2 boundaries in Bumrah's over

Graeme Wood and Rick Darling say hi

Webster in for boxing day or I won't masturbate for the rest of the year
