4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

what is this about rohit limping off the field after getting out? another injury?

He's the new Inzimam

Brisbane has a climate like America has political discourse.

Extreme, hot and occasionally violent.

What Rohit Sharma did is an insult to batsmanship. Getting a start is the hardest part of batting. He's gotten starts in 3 of his 4 innings so far. But he doesn't capitalise. He always does this.

It's worse because he pulls off marathon innings in ODIs all the time, and when he was playing Tests in home he looks untouchable. But he just doesn't translate it in Tests away from home. And for no good reason really. Sort of like Ian Bell maybe?

Rohit's way better than those spuds, plz.

I think they only do 10 minute highlights after each day. They're certainly popular, easily rack up a few million views each day.

EDIT: Bloody hell, I was underselling it. Day one highlights has close to 10 million views already

Too bad Test cricket is dying huh

 

[Starfighter]

Pathetic stuff from a pathetic city.

How terrible has he been this series? It looks silly to be saying this if you've seen his output this series when compared to ****all that the others have scored but its just the way he gets out. Soft dismissals galore.

Weather forecast accurate so far.

I reckon even I could bowl to Rohit once he's batted 50 balls and be in with a chance of getting his wicket. It's not a technical thing at all, he's just got some mental block to overcome.

Late arvo storms will be fine. Today’s actually a bit earlier than usual for the Chennai of Australia. Early starts will make up time.

Absolutely agree though that Brisbane is a **** city and this is yet another example.

 

[harsh.ag]

It's a pleasure to watch Rohit bat. Best batsman on show easily, going big aside.

You mean actual run scoring aside?

Sad that this is true. Green should have gone big. I saw the replay of the wicket, and it looks like the Sunder ball was actually a sort of sneaky variation. Murali Kartik was talking about it. Let me see if I can find that clip.

 

[Spark]

Yeah I definitely think that ball turned away. He didn't exactly play it well, but it certainly wouldn't have been something he was expecting.

The only players who batted today were Paine, Green, Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Hazelwood, Gill and Pujara

Rohit's innings was clearly the prettiest of the lot.

He also plays the powerplays of those ODIs as if they are ****ing test matches ?. Somehow he is unable to translate literally the same blue print here.

****ing exactly.

Serious mental block. Does India have a sports psychologist on board? They need to find their Wendy Rhodes.

Pitch will sweat up overnight like a questionable German middle aged tourist in Pattaya
