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

[Burgey]

Those comments by Khawaja prior to the series on Bumrah is hilarious now 5 tests later.

Tbf 5 years is quite a long time

 

[govinda indian fan]

This pitch is most spiciest pitch in the series wont be surprised if game is over in 3 days

 

[Burgey]

Konstas went to one of the most exclusive schools in Sydney so he’s confident in the knowledge so matter what he does, an army of mums will be ready to defend it as ‘boys will be boys’

Scholarship though, so probably not part of the in crowd. More an acquired wanker than a born one like others there

 

[Gnske]

That was like Konstas going for a drive with his granddad down Parramatta Road, starting a road rage incident then his granddad gets bashed for intervening.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Especially if you go Arshdeep.

With a Hardik

 

[govinda indian fan]

Why the hell did we chose to bat first on green wicket. Could had aus bowled out cheap

Otherwise known as doing a Sidhu

Hahaha Konstas. 10/10 on the unintended comedy scale. ****s off Bumrah, scampers down halfway through the final over and leaves his opening partner to face the guy he fired up.

Seems a long time since Spider cam interviewed him at the G and he said he wanted to face Bumrah more.

 

[Johan]

for all the pitch glaze, willing to bet this is gonna be an overcast NZ pitch type thing, by session 2 or 3 of tommorrow it would be a 400 run pitch and stay like that until last 2 days.

 

[Niall]

Good effort from the Indian tail , but very much Australia's day, if the pitch flattens out somewhat and commentators seem sure it shall, then Australia should get 270+ and that should be enough, this Indian batting line up are a shambles.

 

[Nintendo]

Who would you realistically replace him with though?

That's why i'm saying keep him for SL. Hope dixon gets a go for victoria and kicks on or one of the backups hits a good run of form. Gives us till the next home summer to sus out a replacement.

They must have done his homework for him too. And his exams. Possibly even his wardrobe selection

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Bumrah average watch: 19.36

Thats the end of Usman Khawajas test career. what a flop he has become. he was never truly great anyway. always suspect player.

Usman Flopaja.

I don't think Australian cricket would survive Dixon and Konstas together

I don't think Australian cricket will even survive the year.

The inconsistent bounce is what worries me. The sheer number of blokes hit on the body this Test is really unusual and a sign of a pitch which is playing a lot of tricks.

There’s a lot of grass on it so I doubt that it flattens out much tomorrow

 

[halba]

Scott boland has a 50 wickets @ 19 AVE in his test career...hes the 2nd best bowler in the world after Bumrah..

 

[govinda indian fan]

We have made a blunder by batting first. Hope pitch doesn't become flat tomarrow and overcast conditions remain
