That's coming back to haunt Pant if India can't hold on for the draw

Head 1-11

Pant averaged something like 60 at 5 coming into this series and now where talking about him moving down? He's fine lol, dudes allowed a bad series.

 

[Son Of Coco]

It's his take on the gloryhole

Head opened up the glory hole with that shorter delivery and Pant stuck his member in it and got it ripped off.

All summed up in a beautiful bit of mime by our Trav.

Think he's batting ok too. Been getting consistent starts just like his previous tours.

 

[Shri]

if selectors pretend to have balls after this match they will drop rohit for SCG and tell kohli to retire after this series

 

[Burgey]

Speaking of Lyon, I haven't watched most of the day's play. Has he still been bowling everything at 90 km/h?

Since he spins the ball less now I'd been thinking he needs to bowl more like 85-86 to get it to grip better, like when he dismissed Pant at Perth.

I think he was bowling a bit slower early on today but he was dropping short a fair bit.

 

[SkyBlue]

Most of the wickets given away today were gifts from batsmen

This hasn’t been an easy series for batsmen in general tbf

Thankfully in the office today so I can’t watch this pathetic loss

Weak

Everyone from Pant on is batting at least one place above where they should. We need a proper middle-order bat at no. 5, balance be damned.

I think Reddy and Sundar at 7 and 8 feels fine, but yeah Pant and Jadeja at 5 and 6 does feel half a spot too high for each.

 

[Burgey]

This stupid animation of the close field for Jadeja on Seven adds nothing at all. It’s literally just someone drawing what’s already on the screen. Like, why?

Hmm. I hope he can get a bit of his old groove back before England comes here.

One thing that slightly puzzles me, is I've noticed his action's gotten much more chest on. Has neither he nor anyone else in the team set up noticed, or is it simply something he feels he can get back at his age?

Hahaha ok maybe Alyssa is growing on me. "I'm terrified to know what that celebration means. Lucky Isha's not here to tell us"

Sundar at 8 is the most wrong one wtf

 

[Burgey]

Boland you ripper!

 

[SkyBlue]

Collapse is on

 

[Kraken]

Jesus that’s kicked a lot

 

[Starfighter]

That's an excellent ball from Boland.
