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

[Burgey]

So there are a set of junk posters who show up only when India lose and there is a set of junk posters who show up only when India win.

Somehow both have shown up after this draw.

Thank **** there hasn’t been a tie

 

[Spark]

I actually think a tied Test in a hot BGT, especially an incident filled one, might melt part of the internet.

Ravichandran "Swann" Ashwin

Surely you mean Ravichandran Ashswann.

Sounds like Ashwin was pushed or realised he wouldn't be playing much this series.

Yeah, this part

India's Quarter 3 GDP numbers have been poor.

Bumrah's averaging 17 in Aus after 10 Tests and 53 wickets. Best bowler alongside Sir Richard to have visited the country?

After Sir Dick, and for now, probably Ambrose as well. Can surpass the latter if he bowls like this in the next 2 matches; can't see him possibly going past Hadlee.

 

[PaulLennon]

Are you implying they are not 3-0 down morally? The lack of killer instinct stems from the unspoken truth that the formal series scoreline flatters them.

Lol, even after all the schedule manufacturing Aus are 1-1 going to the two places they have not won against India since Sachin was an active cricketer.

A bunch of debutants smacked Aus at the MCG last time and in the SCG the Aussie attack couldn't take the wickets of a guy with a broken back and one with a broken leg lol.

 

[PaulLennon]

Happy retirement to India's 4th best spinner of all time.

I am puzzled by the timing as well. While Ashwin is about as effective as Rohit and Kohli as a bowler is AUS, I'd still back him to score more runs than either of them.

Still sore after the fact that Ashwin bowled India to victory in Adelaide 2018 which set the stage for the ass-kicking that followed that series.

Also made Steve Smith look like a tailender in MCG 2020.

Also who can forget him saving a match against the Australian "attack" in SCG 2021 with a sore back.

Should stick around to collect his 3rd away BGT (6th overall. Smith has won only one. Cummins zero).

India's Quarter 3 GDP numbers have been poor.

Not as poor as the Australian white fertility rate.

Like nowadays, Australians dedicate stuff to aboriginals.

In 50 years time, Jasbir Bhalla, captain of the Australian team will be dedicating stuff to the white minority.

can you stick to the script? It’s messages like these that cause all the issues. India is going to get pummelled. They’ve been pathetic other than one guy.

 

[Teja.]

Lowest bowling average among all bowlers in test history in a calendar year with at least 50 wickets:

Imran Khan ‘82 - 62 wickets @ 13.29, 38 SR
Sydney Barnes ‘12 - 61 wickets @ 14.14, 36 SR
Jasprit Bumrah ‘24 - 62 wickets @ 14.58, 29.3 SR
Waqar Younis ‘93 - 56 wickets @ 15.15, 29.5 SR

How unplayable he looks is lining up with his consistent numbers across 12 tests this year. Right among one of the best bowling peaks of all time. Hope he has a few more years in the tank at this beyond ATG level.

 

[Burgey]

One can’t help but wish Paul Lennon’s old man had a poor fertility rate. Should have left him on the soap

Looks like it’s about to chuck it down so could be all over

Chuck down, you say?

0 10’fers tho.

thats absolutely irrelevant, especially in a facet where you are working as a team.

He couldve easily had a 7-fer or 8-fer in the 1st inns when Aus were 8 wickets down and he had already taken a 6-fer.

He then chose not to bowl at the tailenders. He had only bowled 3 overs that morning. He forgo the chance to take cheap wickets of Lyon and Hazlewood and let his struggling teammates Akash & Siraj have something for their efforts.
