**Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

[Prince EWS]

Lyon may hold the key on Day 5.

 

[SkyBlue]

This is not just a great debut series by Nitish. This is one of the best performances by an Indian player in SENA countries in recent years.

2nd highest run getter and a handful of wickets. Apart from Bumrah and Head, this series will be remembered for the emergence of a top young talent in world cricket.

Lyon is secretly magneto? Is that why he cheated on his ex-wife?

Only on Day 5

 

[Gob]

Can't really rule out an Indian win either especially if Reddy can get this lead down to 80ish and Bumrah cut through the top order. Australia are still comfortable favourites but India have certainly clawed their way back

 

[Teja.]

What an effort from Reddy this series. With this knock, consistently our best batsman.

 

[andruid]

Cricinfo headline: match delayed, Reddy on 99

Me: clicks on scoreboard link and finds he got his century just fine

 

[Qlder]

So secret is to put a good bat at #8 to score runs when ball is old and soft and bowlers are tired

...meanwhile Australia have waste of space Marsh at #6

@Teja. @duffer

Tomm if Siraj claims a 5fer for nothing, this test match shall forever be remembered for Manavaadus beating Australia.

You already have United States of Andhra. Time for Andhralia now.

Lets call him New Star NKR in the finest Telugu Cinema tradition.

Well done nitish

Which means we should all be praising that run out because Reddy would not have been in yet.

Chennai is closer to Andhra than most others places in Tamilnadu.

I'm glad they stopped picking that weak character Vihari and invested in some actual Andhra/Telangana talent like Reddy.

There's plenty of young talents popping out of Tamil Nadu and Telugu states off late

Last time I saw these many South Indians in ICT is in 90s where half the team were from that dominant Karnataka team in domestic cricket.

It's a shame Karnataka doesn't produce that many big talents these days

Tilak next pls

 

[Sunil1z]

 

[honestbharani]

Tilak next pls

He is definitely next in line in LO stuff. Assuming Rohit and Virat pull the plug after CT or even after this series, it could be...

Jaiswal
Gill
Tilak
Samson (wk)
Rinku
Hardik (c)
Axar
Harshit/Washy
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj

And for T20s, swap Gill for SKY and let Samson open and SKY bat at 4 and be the captain.

Would also be funny to see Rohit, the ex MI captain hand over reigns to 3 different MI players across 3 formats.
