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

[Burgey]

No rounder into the attack. Might go ok here if Carey keeps up to the stumps and he bowls wicket to wicket

 

[stephen]

That first ball was pure Marsh.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

play for draw surely now. Cummins will bowl around 30-32 overs today and Scott around 24-25.
wont be possible to hit 300 runs off those bowlers and only 8 wickets in hand

Rohits test career finished here surely? I much prefer Gill at #3 instead of KL, KL up to top surely? what sort of team management is this. KL is a pure opener and Gill is your long term #3.

Aus captain is not self flagellating like Stokes I can't see him bowling much more than 20. Lyon is going to have to bowl the Lyon's share at some stage

 

[TheJediBrah]

If Virat pretends this is an ODI and gives himself 40 overs to chase the runs he'll do it easily

Posts like this is why I constantly post betting odds. Though I’ve stopped since people don’t seem to like it.

Just seems awfully self-indulgent considering noone else seems to give a **** about it. At least @SillyCowCorner1 and @ashley bach have each other.

25 overs from cummins. spread out. Hes the iron man of australia.
Lyon will be on soon. Starc looks cooked, hardly can bowl- surely will be rested for SCG - should not have been passed fit for this game. Selectors making too many errors- Hazlewood passed fit for the last game, could hardly bowl, didnt bowl in 2nd INN due to injury, same problem here- Starc, passed fit, hardly can bowl. Marsh selected and not contributing anything. They keep hanging on to the old, legacy players, instead of looking to newer fresher, young bowlers which aus has plenty of.

 

[stephen]

Jaiswal not even good enough to edge Marsh.

Fair enough. I’ve stopped. I thought of it as an objective answer to the rampant Gambhiring from all comers but if people clearly dislike it, I understand.

 

[TimAngas]

Why Marsh before Lyon? Worth tempting Yashavi to go downtown surely with the run-rate this under control.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Must feel awful when the worst player on the team is also your captain tho

Yup

 

[stephen]

That run out looks more and more like Kohli's fault every time they replay it.

If he's the iron man then Marsh must be... the polystyrene man?

 

[stephen]

Australian crowd spewing truth with the "Kohli is a wanker" chant.

I personally appreciate it for that reason tbh

You're a freak if you don't **** tbh

more like this guy. Made of straws from Wizard of Oz.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

What was a more important Test innings for Kohli?

His previous one.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

I know the bowling has been tight and India aren't taking risks but I didn't expect them to score this slowly. Wonder if this will turn out to be a classic rope-a-dope setting up for the knock out blow in the last round.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rohit man

Just seems awfully self-indulgent considering noone else seems to give a **** about it. At least @SillyCowCorner1 and @ashley bach have each other.

and by extension, @sayon basak and @Nintendo

The implication is it's the only way you get there.
