2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

[Burgey]

This baffles me. I played pink ball a few times last summer and I could see it far better than I could pick up the red one, especially in the field. It’s not the first I’ve heard it, and I don‘t doubt it’s true, but I just can’t get my head round the science of it.

Anyway, it’s 3am, my sleep patterns and body clock are totally wasted. This had better be worth it.

Was that under lights or in day time mate? I wonder if it might have more to with the seating/ crowd backgrounds (not that I’m doubting you’re selling the grounds out, mind).

We're going to lose this game too aren't we

 

[DriveClub]

Imagine the scenes if India get rolled for sub 50 twice in a row

 

[Gnske]

Once again real effective intent is proven to be in boundaries and not singles.

 

[halba]

mr starc too many '4' balls.

 

[Spark]

this field is dumb.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Looks a million bucks

 

[Burgey]

Oooof. 3rd slip ffs. Kid is streaky AF out there

 

[cnerd123]

Send Jaddu in next

I have achieved a lot of things in this game that I never thought I’d manage when I signed up to this forum back in the first half of my lifetime, but I think it’s going to be a stretch to play under lights...

Crowd and seating is a decent shout. Showing how little I’ve actually paid attention here, but what colour screens do they use with the pink ball in day games / day-night games?

India seem hyper at the moment, if they were to lose 5 wickets in the next over then Australia will really fancy their chances.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gill's pull shot does look very unconvincing doesnt it. Rest of his game looks on point.

 

[halba]

pattinson for starc for test no.3. starc is simply too expensive at test level against good teams.

white ones

Need Puc in the next Test for the start of the future Gill - Pucovski trophy

Not really. He closes his eyes sometimes but its pretty good.

 

[Burgey]

Wait, they actually import umpires for the IPL? Why would they bother doing that?

Should change the name tbh. Can't have a racist's name on an Indian / Australian test trophy.

Doesnt look balanced imo. Probably too early to say
