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

The great man is still going around in ones

Spikeys boi

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lyon way too short to Pant so far. Get him on the front consistently and hes a goner

 

[Spikey]

Haze injured there?

Warne saying the attack needs to be together for four more years to be an ATG Aus attack, when Gregory & McDonald and Lillee & Thommo were together for about 18 months each

I suspect Warne would think Lee/McGrath/Gillespie/Warne played a lot more together

but the current attack overtakes them from this match on

Not to mention they were a better attack when Lee didn’t play

Rahane scoring runs is a mockery of the game

Yeah I was going to say when they brought up those stats, Warne and McGrath weren't exactly always fit enough for them to play enough tests together.

removing Lee, so just the McGrath/Warne/Gillispie combo together:

this proves that Colin Miller was their best next hand

Miller is the type of guy who wouldn't garnish his weetbix, deservedly doesn't get recognition imo.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Not a fan of these break-time interviews with players. Let the guys take a breather ffs.

 

[Gnske]

This is alpha hitting. Saha would have dropped and run those.

 

[OverratedSanity]

#Intent working

 

[Niall]

Saha so much fun, why drop someone like that for a nerd like Saha?

 

[aussie tragic]

So far the 'replacements' Gill, Pant and Siraj looking pretty good selections. Hope Jadeja doesn't step up as well

 

[Burgey]

Just keep this hack fraud on the front dog and he won’t last four overs ffs

 

[Gnske]

Pant should put on more bulk, can't take a quick single and get run out if you can't run quickly. Boundaries only my dear dude.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Poor spell from Lyon. Has been so short

 

[Spark]

Good advertisement for #intent here. Pant attacks a few and suddenly the poor balls appear.

 

[Burgey]

Poor spell from Lyon. Has been so short

Yeah need to be much fuller

 

[silentstriker]

Wow, an interesting insight on commentary that I wouldn't have known. Hallelujah.
