**Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

[Burgey]

It’s a ****ing zoo out here today. Joint is bursting at the seams. Fantastic.

 

[Qlder]

Oh oh, Bumrah back as captain....let's see if Kohli trys to take over in the field like he did last match

I don't get why Sharma is even at the ground and he even inspected the pitch. Should send him back home to get that negativity away from the team

SCG is famous for its all you can eat luncheons

 

[Spikey]

Australia have opted out of batting first

 

[ataraxia]

Thank ****, they didn't listen to halba.

 

[GotSpin]

Don’t hate bowling today

 

[the big bambino]

Kohli sending Bumrah out for the toss. Regal.

 

[Johan]

Batting first on an overcast day when there are two hot days coming up is certainly a choice.

 

[social]

Rohit “opting to rest” is one way of putting it

 

[Kraken]

Beautiful overcast conditions for the good guys to have a roll here - crowd buzzing, great atmosphere, can’t wait to sink multiple beers watching the big SLUG carve up on debut

Sad that Bailey opted out of selecting Marsh, but lets hope its a temporary opting

He's all tuckered out.

Not inconceivable that by the Summer, India need four new top order batters - Sharma may be done now, Rahul and Gill don't deserve any more Tests, and Kohli's decline is irreversible.
