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

[Shri]

pant has batted a whole session for 32 on a green pitch

 

[Gob]

Who said that?

Who else

 

[SkyBlue]

Pant's done the hard work and has shown a lot of grit in this session. Hope he doesn't throw it away.

 

[Gnske]

Who said that?

TJB three times, Spark three years ago, PEWS yesterday, Burgey by the end of the day and myself once in anger.

 

[Starfighter]

A dissatisfying session that one. Had the chance to fatally break India's innings but inability to take catches put the kibosh on that.

 

[SkyBlue]

top 6 batsmen who bowl 135kph are kinda rare

And the ones who did ended up being super injury prone (ex: Shane Watson and now with Ben Stokes)

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Only one person is actually saying that and I'm pretty sure you have them on ignore

It is an absolute disgrace that moron is still around. Hasen't improved one miniscule bit with the year long enforced holiday


Pull the plug already

 

[vicleggie]

What do you think would be a competitive, or a par score?

I'm saying around 250 if they can get a partnership. Ind should be happy with that

 

[TheJediBrah]

So let me get this straight, Webster was a superstar and needed to play the last couple days, now today he's a medium paced hack who should be dropped immediately

This kneejerkism is truly an absolute cancer on the entire forum

What forum are you reading lol

Webster's getting like 99% positive reactions

 

[cascade]

I was out for most of the session but I must have walked past the pub right when Kohli got out because I suddenly heard some dudes out the back chanting his name.

Not unhappy to have missed all of the dropped catches. Wouldn't mind seeing Cam Green and Beau Webster in the same team for a bit so they can take chances off each other's bowling.

 

[Nintendo]

Beau webster is deand and buried. Bring in jake doran to bowl some medium's instead.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope this pitch doesn't flatten tomorrow, would basically give india no shot from here.

 

[Darwin Award]

Had Kohli been dismissed first ball his average would've been 46.97...

For now it just hovers over the 47 mark.... 47.06

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Had Kohli been dismissed first ball his average would've been 46.97...

For now it just hovers over the 47 mark.... 47.06

Might have to invent a category for Most Flukish Peak Ever.

 

[Johan]

47.06 @sayon basak

 

[Starfighter]

Really should have gotten more than 1 wicket in that session with the assistance on offer

"catches win matches"

 

[Burgey]

What do you think would be a competitive, or a par score?

I'm saying around 250 if they can get a partnership. Ind should be happy with that

That’s their standard first innings score these days for the most part

 

[Darwin Award]

47.06 @sayon basak

Smith: 56.28
Kohli: 47.06


... I want that EXACT 10 run average difference before it's all said & done.

Smith needs to do his part and score some more runs .... because we are sure as s**t Kohli will do his part LOL!

 

[subshakerz]

Will be a waste of a spicy wicket for Australia if India make more than 200.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Australia want at least 3-4 wickets in this session. Ideally 6.
