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

[Starfighter]

Takes an absolute garbage ball, but apparently the Indians are still capable of playing shots.

 

[Alex0paul]

Are India still trying to bat out for a draw here?

 

[Prince EWS]

Dunno what Webster is doing tbh. Doesn't he know that 5th bowlers can only bowl one spell a day? It's tactical, you know.

He's just showing off now.

 

[Daemon]

Looks like the Indian batting team have been yelled out and now they're afraid to play any shots. There's plenty of half volleys that should have been put away here

Yeah Webster’s literally just giving throwdowns.

Gambhir scared them all

 

[Starfighter]

Think Starc might have been left on for one over too long here.

 

[subshakerz]

Bugger. That Smith let off could prove important, they're not scoring much these two but they're using up time and the bowlers' energy. It's generally been around the 40th over this series that the ball has lost it zip.

I don't think these two have it in them for a big partnership. They should bring Lyon to get rid of Jadeja.

 

[Daemon]

This is the kind of scared batting Langer instilled in Australia

We need McCullum to save Indian cricket

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

What is this pitch...that ball from Starc climbed near-vertically at pace.

 

[sayon basak]

What is this lobster bowling?

 

[Starfighter]

Surprised Lyon hasn't been given another spell, especially with Jadeja in.

 

[Spark]

Surprised Lyon hasn't been given another spell, especially with Jadeja in.

I think he's more likely to draw an intemperate stroke from Pant too.

[Alex0paul]

Get on with it

 

[Qlder]

What's going on India, only 12 runs in last 12 overs

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Interesting that Vaughan said Pant is playing like his good friend Geoffrey Boycott and then said that he needs to throw a punch.

 

[Spark]

Tough chance but really have to start taking more of them

 

[Spark]

Ah, Rishabh Pant has finally realised he's facing 125km/h medium pace

 

[Burgey]

Aus catching has not matched the bowling so far at all

Rishabh "Demolisher of 105kph" Pant
