**Official** 3rd Test @Brisbane (Ewwwww), 14th-18th December

[ataraxia]

Not sure why Australia haven't already declared tbh.

 

[Burgey]

They lost most of their top order wickets not even scoring quick though, just got out normally. There's no way it was intentional.

Agree re the openers for sure.

Though if they were just in for a centre wicket hit they wouldn't have moved Marsh and Head in front of Smith.

 

[Silver Silva]

That's what makes it so strange. They have the same info we do, surely they can see that this is completely pointless and is just infuriating everyone for no reason

Why don't they just declare now then ?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

India should be safe, but most likely scenario is India are 20/4 and Jadeja and one other will have to bat until the end/rain saves them.

I am astounded by people suggesting India chasing down, have they not watched them bat in this format this year?

Think the optimism misplaced as it is comes from the near-certain possibility that they won't treat it like the format it is.

Now I'm curious what the lowest declaration scores are (that didn't involve Hansie Cronje)

 

[ankitj]

Every Indian fan's emotion when Head gets out.

 

[Gnske]

Solar panel Pat only wants to bowl in clear daylight

 

[Silver Silva]

Declaring now to avoid Bumrah getting a maiden ten for would be sad

 

[silentstriker]

Stop bowling Bumrah you ****ing MUPPET Rohit. Stop taking other people down with you.

 

[social]

Just declare now if they want to make it look like they are trying to win

 

[OverratedSanity]

Inb4 India are 5/3

I mean they should if for no other reason to retroactively justify wtf they've been doing for the last 90 minutes

Exactly, I see Rohit's dependence on Bumrah more concerning than how Dhoni used to toss the ball to Zak when he ran out of ideas.

 

[Qlder]

Australia is scoring at 5 an over. With 272 ahead that would take 54 overs, the exact amount left now (after 2 for changeover)


...pity about the rain

What a time to be alive. I need to spawn an offspring just to tell them I watched Bumrah bowl.

 

[Gnske]

lmaooooo what they declare now

How was that session in any way to our benefit

 

[PlayerComparisons]

They didn’t want Bumrah to take 10
