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

[Prince EWS]

That probably should have been four in a row lol. Saved by extra bounce.

 

[CricketDreamer]

4 4 4 4 -- jaiswal

 

[Niall]

Australian cricket is about to be killed by Yashasvhi "In my top 3 Indian batsmen ever according to Kerry O'Keeffe, better than Dravid actually" Jaiswal

Where's your God now?

 

[Spark]

Could have 15 fielders and that over would still have gone for plenty

 

[morgieb]

Why the **** did we pick him for Sydney again? He should never be allowed to play another deciding Test after Test 3 again.

Five

 

[OverratedSanity]

Woah jaiswal

Would have been five

 

[Gnske]

Oh its the boots that are the problem

 

[quincywagstaff]

Has Starc ever not blamed the crease footholds when he's struggling with the new ball?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahul has already made his customary quota of 2-3 decent innings in a long series. Just hope he hangs in there a while and sees off the new ball.

 

[Kraken]

What a terrible first over

Well, you gotta blame something. Can't just walk back in defeat.

 

[Spark]

Just love making the same mistakes over and over and over again, series after series

 

[Gob]

Yeah this is going down the same road as Perth

 

[Zinzan]

Glorious batting Jaiswal.

What lead do India need here fellas?

 

[Spark]

That should have been six fours in as many balls off Starc

 

[OverratedSanity]

5 of 7 balls from starc have been dreadful here

 

[nightprowler10]

5 of 7 balls from starc have been dreadful here

Good since then though.

 

[Bahnz]

Glorious batting Jaiswal.

If Bumrah is fit anything over 200 is probably matchwinning. Without him I'd say about 260 feels defendable.
