123 is still a fair way ahead. At least keep those shots until you get to a 60-70 run deficit. Don't give them any confidence.

man that’s no good. side note; anyone else get Sam Mitchell defending Jack Ginnivan vibes from McDonald’s presser last night RE: Konstas?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Unironically think had Kohli stayed the whole series in 2020/21 it'd probably end up 4-0 Australia.

This is correct.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This imbecile getting runs would've been extremely obnoxious so this is a big moral win for us.

 

[Starfighter]

Not like the middle order has been complete jelly either. Needs a kick up the backside for that, there's a line between being aggressive and stupid and he's crossed it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

He had the perfect chance to settle down and work it around a spread field with ease, then he does that. Definitely not a fully developed frontal cortex

 

[vicleggie]

Konnie did his job there,

 

[BigBeefy]

Konstas trying to keep us all interested with some utter stupidity.

 

[Starfighter]

Team management really needs to be a bit firmer than they like to be imo. There's attacking but that's just not smart cricket

I don't think McDonald actually does anything other than run fielding drills.

 

[TimAngas]

I think there's a point to be made that Konstas' unpredicability triggered India into bowling some pretty bad balls in the first few overs but pretty stupid to throw away your wicket like that.

I have no sympathy for Konstas. He's an adult and chose to act the way he did. If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen

Sentences your dad never said

Exactly, India were in this exact position yesterday and collapsed.

 

[TheJediBrah]

To be completely fair, getting to 39 without loss is still better than we expected and a lot better than had he poked around and snicked off for 5. He could have done worse, just wish he'd have played it smarter after having got off to the start he did

Not qantas fault there india intimidated him

Lmao Qantas

Reminds me of the bloke who said Octpus Stadium.

 

[ImpatientLime]

Honestly I almost tend to think he's being actively encouraged to go all out on the attack like that. Could be wrong, but a few comments I have seen seem to suggest that
