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

[Teja.]

Drawing a four Test series with your best batsman overall having a high score of 53* would be quite an amusing thing.

I think Pujara's been better. His 77 in Sydney was realistically worth 150 in the circumstances.

Pujara's 200 balls in the first innings last game massively helped in the eventual draw too. WAG.

 

[Spark]

That was straight off the chest, right?

 

[trundler]

I see the 4th innings PTSD is very real now.

Yeah but that was only particularly good in hindsight. Like I'm not saying there was anything wrong with it, but when he did it in the first dig it was just a 50 IMO. Second dig was different obviously.

That was a brutal over. Pujara should retire if the bowling is too tough for him.

 

[vcs]

This is brutal stuff

 

[Prince EWS]

Yep.

 

[stephen]

Starc should be bowling over the wicket.

That was a brutal over.

You could say it was intimidatory. Clearly umpire should step in.

Well yes but it's less problematic than having dead kids

Oh yea, definitely preferred.

What I'd like to do with my kids is make them bat without their pads. They'll cop a few on the shins and then learn to stop playing over the front leg the way Gary Sobers did.

please, clearly not as intimidatory as a 120km/h looper from shardul thakur that goes about two feet over the batsman's head

I think that'd just make most kids not get in line.

 

[Burgey]

Oooh that stayed down a bit

Maybe he would have if it wasn't a trundler like Cummins and a genuine pace spearhead like Shardul Thakur.

What's a couple of dead kids/broken teeth if they learn to play the short ball. Prepare to die for the sport #dedication

Oh they'll get in line if they know what's good for them.

Can confirm we played in the nets with no pads and a cricket ball for a little while, and all I learned was to keep your legs far away from the ball, and by consequence, the bat as well.

 

[Spark]

I think that'd just make most kids not get in line.

Yeah I'd definitely just bat in an almost Shiv Chanderpaul stance just to keep my front leg out of the way. **** getting hit on the shins.

 

[Spikey]

Sean Abbott can bat though

As Sabba Dermo Abbott has proven, this was a fact, not a hot take. Facts can be repeated
