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

[Prince EWS]

I hope they replay Konstas's innings even when Rahul and Jaiswal are batting

I don't mind them talking about the Konstas innings when things are drifting a bit, it's the endless Kohli shoulder talk that's giving me the shits.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Bumrah has bowled beautifully without luck today

 

[cover drive man]

Where are all the people?

 

[TheJediBrah]

There is plenty in this wicket. I kind of want us to just get out so we can get the ball in hand ASAP

I'm going to Spark you on this and say I'm right and you should feel immensely embarrassed to be so wrong.






Really though I don't have a problem with the innings the same way I don't have a problem with Hiroshima being bombed. But Channel 7 and Fox have literally zero chill when it comes to this kind of thing. No need to replay it every 15 minutes like they ain't ever seen a batsman scoop before.

Comes hand in hand with the replays every 15 minutes of Kohli being an embarrassment to his country.

 

[Gnske]

Also I'm glad whenever Kohli has a brain fade everyone starts telling him to go back to London

I think Grace played to a late age but you'd think they'd mostly be young back then since they were usually dead around their forties. Aus now has set a record for age or close to it, but I'm not so concerned about the transition when it has to take place. If Green can get and stay fit we'll have him, Sam and McSweeney with Marnus, Travis and Smith as a potential batting line up - which is a good mix of ages.

We have spinners like Kuhnemann, Murphy, Tanveer coming up for Lyon. Others like Swepson, Manenti and Rocchiccioli from WA. Even Zampa wants to play tests. And they're all reasonable bowlers. None are Doherty bad.

Strangely enough we don't have durable young to youngish quicks coming through. It'd be great if Richardson, Spencer Johnson and Lance Morris could be relied on for fitness. However I'm not too worried as I'm most confident in Australia producing a fast bowler more readily than batsmen or spinners.

Also Webster as a potential bowling all rounder to replace Mitch marsh soon

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Those 'woooos' from the crowd lol

 

[Hungry Llama]

I want Kohli to shoulder barge Boland.

 

[Starfighter]

More classic Cummins.

 

[DriveClub]

Cummins doesnt rate deep

 

[Gnske]

I want Kohli to shoulder barge Boland.

Second this amendment

 

[GotSpin]

Akash made to look so pedestrian right now

 

[DriveClub]

By the end of this series bumrah would have been bowled to the ground because the other Indian pacers are so crap

 

[silentstriker]

Should be bowling spin at this point. This isn't working. Nobody else can bowl but Bumrah.

 

[the big bambino]

Also Webster as a potential bowling all rounder to replace Mitch marsh soon

While he's been the butt of jokes I think Jack Edwards may even leap frog him.

 

[Gnske]

One of Kohli's fans trying to slip him some business class tickets back to Heathrow

 

[Prince EWS]

Where are all the people?

At the beach and/or the shops before paying $150 to duck in for the last session, obviously.

 

[silentstriker]

India select six bowlers and are still bowling Bumrah into the ****ing ground. I'm so annoyed.

 

[Prince EWS]

While he's been the butt of jokes I think Jack Edwards may even leap frog him.

I do think Edwards might actually be a better cricketer than Webster now, but Webster is still the better bat and I think the batting line up needs more support from that spot at the moment than the bowling lineup.
