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

[Starfighter]

India's tail is one of the worst in cricket history, no hyperbole.

Not really, and more to the point, they're not there yet, gotta dislodge these two first. That requires not spending at least three overs aiming at some mysterious point not near the stumps. The only way India can actually lose is by panicking like 2007/08.

Labu might actually troll out a wicket here. Get one of these two to play a dumb shot. Get him on.

 

[vicleggie]

India look so ****ing comfortable.

Unbelievable.

 

[stephen]

STUMPS Starc.

 

[Shri]

1/3 of the session is over with no wickets lost

 

[morgieb]

Starc needs to be axed if Australia can't win here. Inexcusable.

eh stranger things have happened than 5 wickets falling with 25 overs to play

 

[stephen]

Still not a single ball on the stumps this spell by Starc.

What. This is some high quality gambhiring. India have done well to get back in the game here, but surely Australia still favourites. When Cummins and Hazelwood come back it wont look this pedestrian. CUmmins especially couldve had Ashwin about 5-6 times in the space of two overs.

 

[GotSpin]

India are safe here

 

[Starfighter]

It feels like a very long time since Starc made someone play off the front foot.

For ****s sake, it's not an ODI, bowl at the stumps.

"The only way"

Wickets could fall in 4 over intervals with decent defense and it wouldn't be because of panic. In fact it's the most likely scenario

 

[morgieb]

India have done well to get back in the game here, but surely Australia still favourites

I don't know, 5 wickets in 23 overs with two set bats looks difficult. It's true India's tail could collapse hard but we're near the "too late" mark.

 

[stephen]

Neser for a debut at the Gabba?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Take the headband off, Mitch; it's clearly restricting the flow of oxygen to your brain.

 

[Spark]

that'll do for starc in this game please. you wouldn't have thought australia were the ones trying to win, that spell was so lacking in anything approaching intensity.

 

[cnerd123]

with around 130 balls left in the day you only need 5 to win the match.

Aus still and truly favourites.

 

[Shri]

is our tail good enough to edge cummins's deliveries if they apply themselves and put in a little bit of effort

 

[GotSpin]

Go home Starc

 

[vicleggie]

If Starc was an Iranian footballer he may be flogged for this type of performance.
