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

[GotSpin]

I've actually never seen an Australian captain being too scared or being protected from facing a particular bowler before. Very un-Australian.

Honestly, it’s worked though

Maybe Jaiswal playing 4D chess and saving himself from a career of hard knocks under the lid.

 

[SkyBlue]

Cummins being a bit too over tactical?

Why are they refusing easy singles..

 

[GotSpin]

Bumrah bowling a touch short here. Easy enough to keep missing them

Logic seems that Bumrah is way better with the ball than anyone else but can't bowl super-long spells. So Marnus will take on Bumrah and Cummins the rest.

There’s just a huge gulf between Bumrah and the rest though

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

You should learn saying "arre yaar" everytime you're frustrated. Even works when you come early.

Yeah.. if you don't think you can get enough runs and are desperately hanging in there for the draw as much as the win.

Really? I mean Bradman reversed his batting order to avoid having a hit in 36/37. Sent O’Reilly and Fleetwood-Smith into open iirc and batted about eight.

Not really

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Honestly they could have at least 3 third men for Cummins

 

[TheJediBrah]

I did, you anti-Medusa what of it.

It's the wholesome season, try it sometime.

I'm sorry. I have no experience responding to anything other than scorn or disgust

Should be much more of a thing

 

[ashley bach]

Why is mid-off deep for Cummins to allow him an easy single?

I'm not as old as you to have seen that sir

This post is why we need an 'ok' react

Or if you just think that one guy is a lot more likely to survive than the other and you're actually playing to win rather than ego

Like I said un-Australian

Playing to win is un-Australian...?
