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

[morgieb]

Yeah I think it's more like 20%, odds are off.

WinViz was like 30% or something.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Even Bumrah's slower balls are so good he should come in and nip one wicket just for lols.

 

[vicleggie]

He can't carry his bat if the Australians win.

wtf are you talking about

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Well india have approx 12% chance per odds. Feel like I should go out on a limb and just bet big on them . A yolo end to the cricketing season.

Nice one Rod

 

[halba]

Bumrah wrapped in cotton wool until the Eng test series.
typically 6 months for a back injury

Hell be in rehab in the Indian national academy I reckon. Just like before.

He should just play tests. And the occasional world cup. Forget ipl and the bilaterals and meaningless tournaments like champions trophy.

He still will be paid millions in endorsement as he's the face of Indian cricket going forward

 

[Shady Slim]

i said it with siraj too but this over the wicket to lefties angle is a real nothingburger
will allow them to plink their way to the target easily

 

[silentstriker]

Man Bumrah would have had a knack for taking a wicket in these situations.

 

[silentstriker]

Yeah I think it's more like 20%, odds are off.

Which site do you use for 20%?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Smith’s shot was a horror

Yes the ball bounced but he was on the front foot to a short ball

Looked like he wanted to get bat on ball for the 10000.

 

[Son Of Coco]

One to bounce a little more to Head with that whip through leg to be caught at cover?

 

[Starfighter]

Even Bumrah's slower balls are so good he should come in and nip one wicket just for lols.

Been off the field the whole time. Wouldn't be allowed to bowl for two hours.

 

[subshakerz]

Only in the 2013/14 India series where Kohli did the same.

Nah. 2014 WI, 2016 Pak and 2017 Ashes, all largely roads.

 

[silentstriker]

Are sundar, Jadeja and reddy actually one of the six best batsmen in the country because honestly that’s how they’ve been used.

 

[Daemon]

That edge for four was exactly how he got out in the first innings

 

[Prince EWS]

Which site do you use for 20%?

No that's just my opinion, I'm saying I think India is a good bet if those are the odds you're finding.

 

[nightprowler10]

i said it with siraj too but this over the wicket to lefties angle is a real nothingburger

Yeah, I said it too. Missing a trick here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nah. 2014 WI, 2016 Pak and 2017 Ashes, all largely roads.

He got runs even in these series on sporting decks. Brisbane was not a road at all.

 

[silentstriker]

No that's just my opinion, I'm saying I think India is a good bet if those are the odds you're finding.

Ahh I see.

 

[Spark]

Yeah that Brisbane hundred is very highly regarded because that was not a particularly easy pitch. Not a greentop, but not straightforward either.

 

[stephen]

Yeah that Brisbane hundred is very highly regarded because that was not a particularly easy pitch. Not a greentop, but not straightforward either.

He looked like he could have batted for weeks as well.
