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

[SteveNZ]

You mean cuc-koo

Yup.

They keep replaying that Marnus appeal. From his angle, the ball passed the bat in such a way as to look like the batter ran it off the face. But when the bowler didn't go up, you stifle your appeal.

Good point. He's got Asperger's I reckon, can't read the room around him.

Here's an initiative for future - teams are allowed to nominate a player in the opposite side to control the reviews. You'd choose Marnus and let the carnage unfold

 

[SteveNZ]

Don't think this Indian side cares for draws tbh if they can help it. They'll take a dig at it, lose a few, and try to hold on for a draw in the end.

They're aiming for 1-1 at Sydney l, squarely and truly. They don't have enough guys in form to do anything else

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Yup.

Yeah I feel India clearly missed a trick not getting Sarfaraz on as a short leg super sub for catches and reviews.

 

[stephen]

Edge one you ****

They do have enough guys with an inflated sense of their present abilities though. Counts for something.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

I wouldn't rule out Boland. He knows these conditions. If they make inroads he'll have his tail up

Yeah danger man as in danger man

 

[SteveNZ]

Good point.

Rohit is in such awful form, however, has no idea where and when he's going to score. Almost like he's prepared to bat 50 overs for nothing, to find something for Sydney

 

[Johan]

Ight, the boynce is getting variable

 

[GIMH]

Boring this from India. England would have scored 80 by now

For 5, but

 

[vicleggie]

Yup.

Oh damn, he's got Asperger's? That would make sense

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Agree with Mr Cricket re Rohit. Looks less terrible today. He has put the fairy wand pull shot away so far

 

[GIMH]

England will be 4-0 down this time next year.

Wrong sorry

 

[vicleggie]

Wrong sorry

Okay 3-1 possibly

 

[stephen]

Head must be embarrassed to be the only batsman to score less than Marsh this test.

 

[Spark]

Cummins really not extracting anything so far

 

[Tom Flint]

What has alyssa healy's commentary been like?

 

[SteveNZ]

Oh damn, he's got Asperger's? That would make sense

Nah that was slightly flippant, although he does exhibit a lot of behaviours. Glenn Phillips recently revealed he has ADHD which can be a blessing and curse for his game

 

[Burgey]

Sharma has looked better than Jaiswal so far

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah that was slightly flippant, although he does exhibit a lot of behaviours. Glenn Phillips recently revealed he has ADHD which can be a blessing and curse for his game

Glenn would have enjoyed the amount of ****-height balls in this Test.

 

[Burgey]

Surely one more play and miss and jaiswal has to drop his strides here
