**Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

[Kraken]

Get fine leg to mid wicket, Konstas behind square and really bowl full and straight

Morning everyone. I see there’s already been some controversy with Smith opting out of that catch.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Huh what's wrong with Boland's?

It's illegally good.

Morning everyone. I see there’s already been some controversy with Smith opting out of that catch.

And half the posters here decided to opt out of common sense and call it a catch.

Can't wait for him to punch an Indian player off the ball like Hall did with Staker and start a melee.

I used to see him on Chapel St in Melbourne.
One time I honked him and tried to wave. Startled him with the honk and he got really pissed off. Looked like he wanted to smash me

It takes guts to leave your family for a younger woman, I think a lot of people don't realise that.

Unironically an alpha move, if not a moral one. A beta would stay with the same woman forever even though he had better options

 

[Spark]

Wow this production is bad. Basically missed the ball because they were still stuck on old replays

 

[Starfighter]

Ponting certainly isn't agreeing with the decision.

 

[vicleggie]

I hate to admit it by Lyon is quite Alpha, even though he doesn't look it

He rocks his physical non Alpha-ness, so yeah that makes him somebody unique. Got a very hot girl, which is the best indicator of his status

The one camera angle we didn't see was the one of the 3rd umpire's box with a member of the BCCI holding a gun to Joel Wilson's head as his finger hovered over the 'OUT' button.

The Fox/Seven production in terms of direction and camerawork isn't a patch on the Channel 9 one.

Scott Boland. he was 45 wickets in his short career, @ 19.6 AVE

The closest we have to a Mcgrath clone for these kinds of wickets.

Jay Shah's glock does a lot of work behind the scenes, that takes a lot of guts too.

 

[GotSpin]

Kohli still defending and driving on 5th stump. Incredible

Don't talk about clones in here someone will accuse us of cheating

 

[Spark]

Stay there Pat

 

[Starfighter]

Not sure if it's the colour grading of the broadcast or he's been forgetting to wear sunscreen, but McGrath's shirt isn't the only thing about him that's pink.

The kind of guts that only comes from being a soft-hearted, nice, trusting man your whole life, and realizing you lose out to the ****heads

70% of women today would leave their overweight, plain husband for a 'higher value' man, if they had the opportunity to. When men do it though, it's the worst thing on earth apparently

Jeez which woman opted out of your life?

(yes I will be forcing this joke into every other post today)
