time for some big T20 hitting from Nitish

 

[Spark]

That is actually an incredible catch. Wtf.

 

[Daemon]

Lol at the way Rana was batting there

 

[Spikey]

Unfortunately that's very good from Marnus.

Haze 3-21 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Zinzan]

Haha such an Australian dismissal that. Brilliant anticipation & awareness Marnus.

 

[Spark]

Was it Taylor who caught one like that back in the day?

CAPTAIN BUMRAH

 

[ashley bach]

One more in the next 2 overs and it's the extra half hour

 

[smellcricketintheair]

It is one of those extend the hand and it gets stuck kind of catch. good reflex from Marcus.. far from being a classic catch as portrayed

 

[Spark]

This is stupid cricket by all involved

Those tend to be the best catches yes

 

[King Kane]

Reddy needs to have a swing now with just Bumrah and Siraj left, Bumrah isn't a bunny anymore but I can't see him sticking around for long.

 

[Burgey]

It's actually been a very slow and patient innings from Pant but he's picked his moments well.

Speaking of which, am thinking either Old Town at Barragnaroo or the old faithfull Golden Century in China Town for Peking Duck on Sunday night

 

[Spark]

Those tend to be the best catches yes

Also, like, Marnus was 100% prepared for the rebound and anticipating it, you can see it on the reverse angle replay. Wouldn't have been close otherwise

 

[Silver Silva]

Its kinda sad that I dont think we played that badly either today. This side has such a low upside at this point. They could be at their absolute best and will still be beaten by 5 wickets or 60 runs. Easily the worst Indian side at the start of a tour since 1999.

I would say it's more a case of inexperience than a terrible side , a lot of these players are nowhere near their prime.

Jaiswal, Rana , Paddikal, Reddy, Sundar , Jurel are all under 25 years old, when 6 of your starting XI are still trying to reach their best it's very difficult to compete especially when you throw them to Australia in Australia !

 

[Daemon]

Reddy’s already batting more sensibly with the tail than Jadeja usually does

 

[ataraxia]

Genius.

 

[Bahnz]

Reddy #canbat

 

[Spark]

I don't understand why bowlers don't resort to the yorker in that situation
