**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[Zinzan]

Boy who cried wolf for Marnus innit? Might be wrong but Isn't he known for going up for almost anything?

I see Harsha Bhogle just parroted me.

 

[smellcricketintheair]

probably a good decision to rest Ashwin and jadeja , looking at the support Lyon is getting

 

[SteveNZ]

Ha, Skull is having a ****ing laugh isn't he? Comparing Rishabh Pant to Fraser-McGurk?

 

[Spark]

Jake Fraser-McGurk's problem isn't how he gets dismissed, Skull, it's that he doesn't score any ****ing runs

 

[Starfighter]

FMD

 

[Spikey]

first cummins doesn't review a wicket, now he drops one. why does cummins hate starc

 

[Bahnz]

Ashwin would've caught that.

 

[Spark]

Geez

 

[SteveNZ]

Haha, that was a Fraser-McGurk shot

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that would have been an all timer

 

[Spark]

Jeez that would have been an all timer

I think he'll be very disappointed at himself for spilling it tbh, albeit it is a tough catch

 

[Burgey]

Lol... NKR gets away with one. Dont fault the on field umpires usually for these, also understandable why captains are reluctant to go for the strangle down leg too.

I guess what annoys me of the earlier decision is that the 3rd umpire made a shocker AFTER having DRS taken. All bad decisions are bad but I guess I find it more understandable or forgieable when mistakes go the way of my team.

Yeah

Shades of Head's catch in the WC final.

A little of column A, a little from column B

JFM can play all the shots he likes if he also plays series-winning innings and averages 40+ in Tests across a range of conditions

 

[ataraxia]

Bad drop IMO. Get yourself into position early.

Much easier said than done tbf, especially in these concrete bowl stadiums where the wind goes around in circles

OK in that sense, absolutely. It is such a diabolical comparison. JFM has achieved nothing in this sport.

Yeah that's what made Skull's commentary so ridiculous. Rishabh was criticised but he had an actual record to fall back on. JFM... doesn't.

 

[King Kane]

Pant riding his luck and Helen Reddy is providing some good support, the Indian comeback is on.
