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

[Gnske]

Again, the very thought of the quick single unsettled the most calm of batsmen in Pujara.

Green you clown. Deadset a cross between Watto and MMarsh thus far

Hilton Cartwright. I called it and I'm sticking by it. Only with slightly more bowling involved.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd it’s still jagging everywhere

the absolute scenes where australia lose this match and therefore, by law, have to drop 3 people, and henriques replaces green

Gill has been the most convincing batsman today.

Easily India's day.

 

[Burgey]

Congrats India on already equaling their second innings effort from last week

Completely forgot he actually played a Test. Most anonymous Test player for Australia since Peter George.

 

[hendrix]

Gill's like a fish to water

 

[morgieb]

What a find Gill looks.

He’s been great. Should’ve been out for nought and now looks the goods. Played a couple of cracking shots

 

[Burgey]

Right. Time to flick over to the Big Bash for the evening

If you’re going to dick around for a 60 odd ball dozen only to get out like that, have a ****ing dip as a number six ffs. An insipid, limp wristed effort from Green.

And if a bloke is moving them both ways and your answer is to take an off stump guard then you’re a two metre tall lump of brain dead lard

Give the kid some time, Burge, FFS. You are as bad as some of SC's finest posters in the Platinum Lounge about Siraj.

Nah if you want to be a test player you need to have a tempo to your game. You can’t just be content to block all day batting six. That sort of stiff legged, immobile approach won’t work. You have to be able to release pressure, whether its strike rotation or boundary hitting. You can’t just let bowlers dictate to you

The last time a side batting first at the MCG won won a first innings total of less than 200 was in 1981.

And that was India, was it?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Agarwal's backlift seemed off at the IPL itself. No way he's succeeding outside the SC with the bat giving his right ear company like that. Especially not against left armers bringing it in at pace.

Wasn't this Kapil nabbing a bag after taking thigh injections just to get on the park?

Awful time to bat and it was a quality over tbf. But yeah, a shorter backlift might help him
