3 matches 6 runs.

 

[Daemon]

Australia are seriously lucky we have three no.11s. Washy looks set for a glorious ton here.

 

[anil1405]

Starc again. Sweet.

 

[Starfighter]

Starc hasn't bowled a single yorker that I've seen.

 

[Teja.]

It's within the rules and if you're enough of a **** to do it you can bowl bouncers at Chris Martin for the entire over but "The aim isn't to injure the batsman but to test their technique and get them out" is a weak explanation for that specific over by Cummins v Saini imo.

 

[morgieb]

Now here comes Starc to ruin the momentum that Hazlewood and Cummins had sort of built.

 

[Spark]

He says, imputing malice to try and gin up a controversy.

Cummins bowled five, count them, five bouncers to Saini. Three of them came relatively close to getting him out caught in the slips cordon. Based on this you claimed that Cummins sole intent -- not part of the plan, but his only intent -- was to injure the batsman.

This makes 0 sense, bluntly. They bowled bouncers in the hope that he would dolly one up in the air or nick off. It's an entirely legitimate wicket-taking strategy and here you were, saying that the intention "wasn't to get him out caught" when virtually every single fielder was in a catching position. Come off it.

 

[Starfighter]

Crap ball, crap shot, good catch.

 

[anil1405]

Well played Sundar.

 

[Burgey]

Terrific knock there. Good catch too. Green a real asset in the fully there

 

[trundler]

Damage had been done, methinks. Well played, fella.

Are you in his brain? Do you know?

Dire posting, take 5 fam.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ah ****. Great knock. Australia still well in with a shot to force a result here. Got the lineup to get quick runs.

 

[Starfighter]

Great innings that has really swung the momentum here.

 

[Burgey]

The bigger coward is at the bowling end

That would be the case if Cummins didn’t cop it himself. But he does.

 

[smellcricketintheair]

India doing bare minimum to ensure Starc is on the plane to India next series

 

[OverratedSanity]

Green already one of the best gully fielders in the world. Could be a massive asset if his bowling gets better.

 

[Daemon]

That man Green again.

Trundler in tatters.

Haha, more condescension. The professor hath spoken. Everyone else must be wrong.
