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

[Burgey]

Stats show Steve Smith has had a crap series, averaging 50.

 

[morgieb]

Was that drop intentional?

By his standards against a third string attack we may have expected more.

 

[Coronis]

Green needs to get a move on or give up and let Paine have a whack.

 

[Burgey]

Green doesn’t seem to have a shot that lets him rotate the strike atm

Yeah it’s the biggest limitation in his batting at this stage. Very stop-go. He’ll learn though.

I think they’ve got a point in mind where they’ll bat pretty normally then go nutso. If he’s still there he’ll suddenly start peeling off bombs.

I wasn’t aware the attack they put out in Sydney was third string, though certainly Sundar > both spinners they played there.

 

[OverratedSanity]

16(72) in this kind of situation is quite putrid.

 

[Prince EWS]

16(72) in this kind of situation is quite putrid.

Not unlike your face.

And your posts.

 

[Nintendo]

Don't think I've ever seen green play a conventional sweep before. He either tries to murder it on the slog sweep or doesn't bother.

 

[Burgey]

Holy **** that’s done heaps too

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yes! A wicket!
But no! an unplayable snorter

 

[morgieb]

Yikes, that lifted.

 

[91Jmay]

Pitch doing plenty now , reckon Aus might nearly already have enough

 

[Burgey]

Haze will be frothing at that

 

[Coronis]

This is gonna be interesting with that bounce.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haze will be frothing at that

Cummins too.

 

[silentstriker]

Oh no! That is not good for India...

Never thought I'd say that about a Steve Smith wicket.

 

[cnerd123]

Siraj is so gun

Aus to declare at tea?

 

[Daemon]

Haze will be frothing at that

at the gash?

 

[morgieb]

This is doing a lot. Will Australia bowl well enough to exploit it, though?
