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

[Teja.]

Just to throw this out there - the average fourth-innings total here is 160. If the weather is looking dodgy, should Australia declare with a lead of 200 right after lunch???

There's been quite a few 300+ scores in the last 10 years. 160 is deceptive due to how old the ground is and how much it used to deteriorate in the past.

I was doing a bad blocky impersonation

Ah well once you even so much as hinted that Smith could do anything to prove his doubters wrong, no one was ever going to guess that

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ugh these two look a level above the previous pair. Probably shouldn't have got Harris out.

 

[Burgey]

Was just another multi, wasn't he?

 

[Pratters]

Allan Border as Darth Vader was pure gold

 

[Arachnodouche]

Why is that ****ing ****** Saini even on the field?

Craig McDermott endorses this post

Yeah, top-7 batsmen average 37 in the fourth innings here in the last 15 years:

Warner and Harris did a pretty good job of trolling you guys for 45 mins before the real bats came in.

 

[OverratedSanity]

We've dropped labuschagne repeatedly into actual imperious form.

 

[Spark]

Not that it's exactly relevant to the match but the SA tour was just confirmed. Squad leaves 24/2, three Tests.

 

[Burgey]

Lead is building pretty well. Good to see some shots being played.

 

[TimAngas]

Labuschagne is just so god-ordained nothing will ever go to hand.

 

[Prince EWS]

Did he hit that there on purpose? Weird shot choice.

 

[Prince EWS]

Labuschagne is just so god-ordained nothing will ever go to hand.

Literally next ball

 

[TimAngas]

Yikes.

 

[Starfighter]

Not even gonna get a lead of 300 at this rate.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hmm, siraj has been disappointing so far. Another hour of this from the pair could be seriously dangeous.

 

[Daemon]

Goodbye Labia you lucky ****

 

[morgieb]

Gah. Good ball that.

Wade is gonna pull a Marcus North here, yeah?
