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

[Prince EWS]

me too, but only when i compare with lyon's

I've been trying not to mention this because I know everyone will make me taste it if he cleans up in the second dig, but Lyon's average at this ground has actually snuck above 40.

68 runs in 30 overs when time is short is yuck.

This wicket doesn't look easy to bat on and India have bowled well here. I really hope Australia don't do anything too stupid setting a target (or set a too generous one)

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Rabada is injured (not sure if he'll be back by then, but if he is he'll be underdone), Ngidi has kind of lost it, Maharaj is averaging over 60 with the ball in his last ten Tests. I like Nortje but he's way too raw to lead an attack.

It could be a good attack, but at the moment it isn't. It's certainly a far cry from Steyn, Philander and Morkel.

Love watching Nortje bowl. Probably one of my favourite cricketers going around

#SCGSoSpinny

once you add his NSW stats his FC average is probably above 60

 

[Gob]

Away average of 57

Mother ****er

 

[Gob]

Weight?

This discussion is diabolical. TPC is head and shoulders ahead

This ground is just NOT made for his genetics.

aka South Africa 2005. Poor sods lost the Test despite declaring twice IIRC

Smith 57 (153) but no discussion about his strike rate for some reason

yeah cause he's a champ

I think they were 1-0 down going into the last test so were going for the win. But still that was hard on them

So Lyon averages 40 at SCG, Starc averages 39 and Labuschagne and Green have no wickets there. Lucky Aus have Cummins and Hazlewood to call on.

Did you just champ the best since Bradman

Also unrelated but what would the Australian nickname for Bradman be today? Bradders, Brad dog, Braddy, Braddo?

The Donald, surely.

Seems strange to think about. Wasn't exactly a barrel of laughs, the Don

 

[Daemon]

The Donald, surely.

But they all mostly use last names today

That's a lot different to Pujara 50 (176) though. In the next 23 balls Smith could be 80*

 

[Howsie]

Kane Williamson living rent free in the Australian media’s head...

Ive tuned in maybe once a test match to this series and every time they’re having a cry about Williamson being the number 1 ranked batsman

They'll just put a 'y' at the end and come up with something so bland and stupid. Zero creativity

I know, I’m just annoyed at all the anti Pujara talk yesterday.

If he hadn’t batted that long our bowlers would’ve probably been even more cooked.
