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

[gabbadan]

You mean bowl first ?

No just bat first and try to stay there till lunch.

Not sure what is more cringe, Paine here or all the India fans who have been simping over the woman who posted the video

Fantastic use of "simping", thought you were above such things

 

[sunilz]

Bob Massie rather. Thakur has already debuted btw.

OK then. Natrajan to debut and replicate the feat of Alan Davidson

I take cricket pretty seriously, life in general, less so

From a guy of Indian descent...the latter.

So alpha/beta on the cards as long as cricket isn't involved or still no?

Personally I believe those who generally like to trot that one out generally fit firmly into the latter category

 

[CodeOfWisden]

Great effort by the aussies to save this match.

Not a bad name for my next multi

So is Jazzprit out or not? I'm reading indifferent reports

Also what an achievement it would be for this Indian team if they win the series that too at the Gabba. Script well written for a Bollywood blockbuster with Shah Ruk khan playing the role of Ravi Shastri. I hope they'll keep out those stupid dancing though

Also Starceh>>>trundler

We are well beyond SRK levels of heroism in this tour, mate. If we somehow win or draw at The Gabba, this script is screaming for a Rajinikant blockbuster where he walks out and splits the ball into two halves and takes two wickets in one ball.

 

[trundler]

Is this an accurate summary

- trundler hates Starc just because
- as soon as Starc ****ed up he appeared and had a few jibes
- sensitive australians got fired up and called him out on it
- because trundlers hatred is emotional and not really backed up by stats, his arguments got taken apart
- trundler, now facing ridicule at the hands of Spark and a GAS that’s overly invested in this argument, decided to double down
- we’re now at the stage where he’s attempting to downplay things by throwing in a bit of humour

As ex-Gandhi, I request GAS to let it go and trundler to admit defeat. We’re 1-1 deep down in Australia after losing half the squad and y’all are spoiling the vibes.

Gave away too many likes to spark because of this tbh. Still don't like Starc though and he's a downhill skier.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Still in absolute denial I see

Trundy, you will have better luck with your Clouderson baits. The test starts in a couple of days. Patience, my friend. Just don't let @Flem274* beat you to the punch.

Not as bigger downhillskier as senile symmetry though

I mean the bait worked pretty well still. I don't understand how but it did.

I want well for Star because he has a nice action, nice black hair and sometimes bowls excellent spells.


I felt the same way when Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Aamir broke through.

Much like Starc getting test wickets, then?

 

[Spark]

There's actually quite a few subcontinental cricketers who have moved to live in Australia after they've retired (or before, in Dhawan's case). I've long felt that it's kind of weird that Australian cricket doesn't try to really try and take advantage and court their experience and knowledge of foreign conditions and different styles of play.
