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

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Our batsmen singlehandedly killing Test cricket. Giving the Windies a run in the prefer watching paint dry sweepstakes.

This batting performance is a better ad for Bazball than Bazball itself.

 

[Starfighter]

I feel like Lyon's lack of control this series has put a heavier workload on the quicks than might have otherwise been the case.

When Bumrah bowls tonight, and he will, as captain he should institute a rule that for every ball he has to bowl, each member of the top five must do three pushups each.

Pant will have to do one of those push ups with the knees on the ground

washy is a big candidate to step on his stumps with how far back he is

KL Rahul can keep if he has to be out due to injury from the pushups. But at least he scored a 40, so maybe we can say just one pushup per ball for him.

Most of his body is probably already touching the ground in the push up stance anyway

Just fake an injury and get a proper keeper to keep as a sub fielder, and Pant can just bat. It's India. There's plenty of ways to cheat around this.

 

[vicleggie]

Starc predictably injured?

 

[Burgey]

Dead

 

[Starfighter]

1: going down leg?
2: reverse swing?

 

[Spark]

Looked out

 

[Spark]

Stone dead

 

[Kraken]

That’s salmon

 

[Starfighter]

Lol that's dead.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Absolutely plumb in the end

 

[Spark]

1: going down leg?
2: reverse swing?

Starc has actually started to move the ball away from the right hander/into the left hander conventionally a lot more this series

 

[Qlder]

You don't get plumber than that, middle of middle

 

[stephen]

That was quite possibly the single worst lbw review of all time. Umpires call on whether it was dead centre of the middle stump.
