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

[Skyliner]

Why is Kohli directing the field. When did he become captain again?

And Guha is ****ling on about how animated Kohli is and how much ‘energy’ he is giving the Indians.

 

[Daemon]

Has had an injured knee since the world cup. Just started playing domestic cricket again a few days ago.

Days? He’s been playing for a month now

 

[Prince EWS]

He was missing every away moving ball too lol. He's just not that good, yet

His technique when missing those balls is actually pretty good though. Plays the line, doesn't chase them, doesn't play away from his body too much. It's not going to get him out more than the average player.

His technique to inward movement isn't good enough yet though. It wasn't even really good enough at Under 19 level.

 

[Daemon]

Great tactics today. So much more proactive and Khawaja should’ve been in the hut already. Wonder who came up with this.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Days? He’s been playing for a month now

That's just slightly more days

 

[Skyliner]

‘Would it help if I put a bell on it Usman?’

 

[OverratedSanity]

No idea how khawaja is still out there. Lucky ****.

 

[Burgey]

Kohli openly captaining the team in front of Sharma. A house divided.

Kohli has been directing the bowlers and fielders a bit today. It’s been weird. Seems like he’s been given the reigns a bit?? Or just being a cheerleader hype man. Who knows.

 

[Prince EWS]

That's just slightly more days

It's still days, just lots of them.

 

[Burgey]

Deep is making things happen, no luck so far though.

He’s bowling a yard too short. It looks great but isn’t threatening the stumps enough. Plenty enough there if he gets it a bit fuller

 

[halba]

i think aus need to bat time as 1.8 days left in this test. the lead is tiny. any false shots, means a loss is possible.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Days? He’s been playing for a month now

A month is days. Like 30 ish

 

[Skyliner]

It’s noisy out there.

His technique to inward movement isn't good enough yet though. It wasn't even really good enough at Under 19 level.

Yeah that was the glaring flaw they didn’t really nail in the first innings.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

And Guha is ****ling on about how animated Kohli is and how much ‘energy’ he is giving the Indians.

Most animated primate

 

[Burgey]

It’s noisy out there.

See if it’s still noisy at about 4pm if Aus is still batting and the lead is pushing 300 with Bumrah into his fourth spell.

It was if anything much worse at U19 level, it's still not good but it's certainly better this summer

 

[Burgey]

Now would be a good time for Siraj to aim up a bit and produce a good spell

 

[Daemon]

The Kohli suckathon has started again. Camera just on him constantly.
