3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

[Arachnodouche]

Rahane should go easy on Bumrah today if he's got a niggle. This game's now down to a very unlikely rearguard so no point chancing your main guy. The more I think of it, Kuldeep and Natarajan should be no-brainers for Brisbane. Both fresh, eager, and unscarred; and not entirely worthless replacements either.

 

[Gnske]

Lmao great start

 

[NotMcKenzie]

This match is getting back into its stride already.

 

[Gob]

Stop mourning ffs

 

[Gnske]

Jadeja's thumb confirmed concussed and out of the match.

Is it fractured?

 

[Gnske]

Is it fractured?

And discolated.

morgieb said yesterday he should be alright, but that slow mo of his thumb getting cleanly jolted back just screamed munt.

 

[trundler]

That's an unforgivable drop.

Awful news about Jadeja

Hmm he would need some time to recuperate. Hopefully be fit for England

 

[Gob]

Keeping low

 

[Slifer]

Seriously wtf India?? The run-outs were bad enough, now you're dropping dollies?? Sad to hear about Jadeja. As if India hasn't been hampered enough!!

I think Sundar’s still with the squad so could slot him in as an all-rounder at 7 if they wanted to, I suspect.

Real 2012/13 Boxing Day Test vibes here though.

One against Sri Lanka?

Don't get it

Yeah, where the SL a second dig ended at, like, 7 down due to ridiculous quantities of injuries

Yeah remember Kumar Sangakkara getting pinned by Johnson after getting 10k

Ponting calling Indian apologist Laylor out is great to hear. Indian players just don't want to go to Brisbane because they think they'll get embarrassed.

 

[Gob]

Stills think India can strangle Aust under 300

It does look very hard to score out there.

Good bowling but yeah it's very difficult to score with this line of attack of quicks. Looks much more fluent against Ravi

 

[Gob]

Think Estraya would play normally this session and open up more in the last session. Either way they should keep 4 sessions to bowl the Indians out
