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

[slowfinger]

Marnus has been in awful form recently

 

[Spikey]

is virat ok

he's better than ok. he's the captain

 

[OverratedSanity]

Krishna has bowled some utter rubbish but has 5 for 60. This pitch might have something in it.

 

[stephen]

Time for the old heads in the team to bring us home.

 

[Starfighter]

The mental midgetry of our batting is sorely trying my enjoyment of the game. Been a problem for a few years now.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

It's the Kohli farewell celebration tour

If India win Marnus should be dropped. Damien Martyn lost six years of his career for less.

 

[Qlder]

Skull pointing out Smith has such a poor 4th innings record..seems to not know it's because he never sleeps during a test, however it's only been 2 nights no sleep so he should be fine

two wrongs dont make a right

It's a shame that with the lack of batting depth (caused partly by the insistence on playing up-and-comers in ODIs previously mentioned) that there are no consequences for being a complete dunderhead.

Never scored a 4th innings hundred. In fact, he's scored more runs in the first innings than in the second, third and fourth innings combined.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Instead of asking old AB what it felt like to score 10k runs here in 1993 they should ask him what it felt like in the tense run chase vs South Africa at the same ground in 1994 where they only needed 117 and choked.

 

[Spark]

Outside the line and high

I still think Symmo's 'Hoggpile' is the best solution for Marnus

 

[Spikey]

outside the line, no?

 

[nightprowler10]

Star sports have their next Kohli celebration highlight reel almost ready.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Has to be outside the line

 

[Bahnz]

First glance don't think this is close

 

[ajdude]

outside the line. i actually thought he might’ve smashed it too

1/2

 

[KungFu_Kallis]
