**Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

That's ****ing class!

 

[Gnske]

Just cause Konstas did it, doesn’t mean you should. Just stop it. Keep batting normally ffs what the ****

Why why why, just keep doing what you’re doing and not play dumb shots.

Come into the future. Scoops are on, women have rights, trundler knows what reproduction involves and the Kashmir has been resolved as Indian territory.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Hope Reddy gets a hundred.

 

[Qlder]

Australia admitting defeat. Only 9 overs of pace with new ball before an out of form Lyon comes on

An away hundred in Australia is gold

Yeah but I'm starting to get MCG 2008 vibes. SA were ridiculously far behind like 300 with 7 down. And then that Steyn/Duminy partnership. I mean if those 2 could make big runs of all people

I can see that, but the lead's even bigger here. To choke Australia out in the third innings India need to get to 550+ here (which I really can't see happening) or an ATG spell from someone. Realistically, India's best shot is a draw.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Lyon on with the new ball already. Them fast blokes must be knackered. And Mitch Marsh is still Mitch Marsh.

Lover of Washington looks solid as Shiv Chanderpaul

 

[mr_mister]

This Washington's test batting record is so much better than his FC record lol. Must love our flat decks

 

[TheJediBrah]

Always stuns me how keepers stand up to someone bowling 130. Anyone who’s stood up to the stumps will know just how insanely hard it is.

If the wicket isn't too up and down, and they aren't firing it down leg, it's actually easier than you think. Any reasonable edge is obviously 100× harder though.

Look at Reddy’s FC batting record.

 

[SkyBlue]

This looks like a wicket where Jaiswal could've had another 150 and we'd be looking at an even test match here

****ing Kohli man. Ruined everything

 

[Shri]

omg finally figured it out

konstas looks like dirty dom mysterio

 

[Spark]

These two are good batsmen playing well tbh. Aus bowlers haven't looked threatening but they'be deserved their scores

I struggle a lot with the pitched up ones. Tend to flinch and the hands harden. Never really practiced it properly though, just tried it in games.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Isn't the Lover of Washington an opening batsman in his state team

I think it shows just how valuable Pant and Jadeja are as cricketers, it enables an odd on-paper balance that actually works well for India.

359 (Aus 1st innings score then) is a lot less than 474.
Also Reddy is no Duminy, and SA attack was better, spinners notwithstanding

 

[Shri]

reddy has more than justified playing ahead of gill in this test

rohit hasn't
