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

[Bahnz]

Lol, somebody find an excuse to get him off the park.

 

[Number 11]

Should’ve caught that, up too high.

 

[honestbharani]

I think that drop was awful but if we cant come back from that, we dont deserve to win anyways.


Make that 3 drops but still think the Labu one was the proper drop that should have been taken. Other 2 are tougher and really just 50-50 chances.

TJB's cricket career in a nutshell

You just called me a good bloke, dumbass

 

[Burgey]

Jaiswal son, what has Kohli done to you?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rohit being a real dick now

Dude has atrocious body language. Will twiddle his thumbs all day but go ballistic as though the sky is falling when someone drops a catch.

 

[King Kane]

Another dropped chance, from Jaiswal, India are letting this test slip through their fingers literally.

 

[GotSpin]

Honestly that’s a regulation catch. He just came up too quickly

 

[Gnske]

Throw him a 9 crore contract with Delhi Capitals and I bet he doesn't drop that

Yeah it’s garbage.

Feel like 3 whole days of cricket happened in that session. Australia probably 15-20 minutes away from avoiding defeat, then Bumrah produces magic to get his team ahead, then a couple of drops happen and these two produce a nice partnership to get the game back on even pegging.

Tough to know what happens next. 240 isn't nothing, but I think you still need more. Another 30-40 minimum would be nice.

 

[Burgey]

FMD how many times has Cummins stood up with the bat when it's been an absolute necessity for him to do so.

Yeah he’s been immense the past 18-24 months. There was a patch before that where he was properly awful and could barely make a run

 

[Gnske]

You just called me a good bloke, dumbass

I did, you anti-Medusa what of it.

It's the wholesome season, try it sometime.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Chances missed but well and truly India's session and all 3 results almost equally possible deep into day 4. Can't ask for much more really.

I feel there's a big difference between 240 and 280; with 240 you can just bat normally and get there without having to worry about the second new ball, but 280-300 you have to decide whether you want to really go for it and score quickly or risk exposing the tail to the second new rock when all the pressure is on

This must already be close to the most important innings Marnus has ever played.

He's had a few tbf. Saving the Ashes last year might be the most important in terms of overall impact. Needs to take Australia to a lead over 280 here.

 

[Gnske]

Also Rohit setting an example for Indian men everywhere by having a tantrum after both drops, love to see it.

It's understandably completely forgotten now because of what ended up happening, but he played a similarly vital innings to this one when the team was in all sorts in the third innings at Headingley 2019.

The drops are partly his fault anyway for not having rahul in the catching positions. Easily out safest catcher and he's wandering the covers for some reason.
