wtf is someone doing fishing when Groudon and Kyogre are right there

dont leave me hanging like this

It's more the top three that are cooked tbf, the rest isn't that offensive. Sangakkara opening, Kallis at 3. I thought he had no Williamson but he did, but he put Smith at 6 and kept Stokes at 7.

I feel like the test of a true elite cricket fan is how they use or don't use Sangakkkara in a team.

Its a bowling shoot out, this series. I think I said I would like to see 350 from us in the first dig but I would be happy with anything over 250. So not a bad effort, Rahane's ****ing runout aside. Hopefully the bowlers come to the party. There have been times we have threatened to knock over this Aussie batting line up in a session or two without actually doing it, hopefully this time.

KP did not make it?

150+ target will make Australia favourites. India are atrocious at 4th innings chases.

Still around 150 is not near as herculean an ask as say 200+. And of course, Australia will have to bat out of their skins to even set such a target. India still very much in the driver's seat imo....If they throw it away from here then they might as well pack up and return home....

Bit of a change to the post above but nah. Notable that his spite for the career of Alastair Cook is still as bold as ever.

Pitch isn't doing much, some of the lesser bats like Smith won't be sitting ducks anymore.

The primacy of the quick single restored

Have you seen this Indian lower order? Imagine India 20-3 chasing 150, it would be very dicey.

That run wasn't as tight as the replays suggested. It missed by so much that from side on it looked like it was passing the stumps way sooner than it would have if it was better directed.

 

[Burgey]

Think this is sliding down but maybe only just

Plumb

edit: oh Burns very lucky

edit2: should have been a no-ball anyway, absolute chuck from Bumrash

 

[Burgey]

Oh no that’s out. Fmd that’s woeful that umpires call there. That’s cartwheeling leg. Thank **** they don’t lose a review for that

I should google, but their was a very fat Australian who was actually quite quick when he ran who spent his final years in England. Only played a few tests for Australia and couldn't lose weight, was a fine player, shame.

 

[Gnske]

He looks so shot

 

[Daemon]

****ing cheating umpires mc bc bhsdk

 

[Spark]

not a test opener, not a test opener, not a test opener

If Burns gets selected again it would be an absolute farce
