Hope Bumrah is ready to bowl 30 overs today.

Today I’ll allow it.

Two all timers going at it with a series on the line. This is a cricketing orgasm tbh

Though being honest you have one at their peak and your guy a few years past his best.

 

[TimAngas]

Biggest psychodrama in Test cricket for quite a while this.

 

[Burgey]

Anyone. Literally anyone. Please.

Siraj is the main guy today. If he bowls as well as h did second dig at Melbourne then a big chance to have parity of even a first innings lead. If not it releases all the pressure

 

[Prince EWS]

Today I’ll allow it.

Tomorrow as well.

That’s a great shot from the young man.

Flashbacks of 17 year old Tamim Iqbal vs Zaheer Khan

 

[silentstriker]

Tomorrow as well.

He can bowl himself at both ends this game. This is it. The next important game isn’t until June.

 

[Kraken]

Ah he got the right ball to go after then - just got it to fine leg instead of in the gap

 

[ataraxia]

Surely third slip is much more useful than first slip to Konstas. First slip is a fake fielding position in general but especially against a guy slashing at it.

Yeah but the one who’s supposedly past it has made back to back tons, so you know.

Thats right. Marsh averaged 33 in Test cricket. Call me controversial but I don't think Geoff Marsh was that good to be honest in Test cricket. He had a higher average in ODI cricket. His overall red ball (First-Class) average was just below 40 (average of 39).

Geoff was fortunate enough to play in arguably the weakest era in Australian cricket history and was then retained for a while because he was AB’s mate

Shows how freaky he used to be.

Bumrah has lost his way against Konstas and is bowling to him as if it’s the final overs of an odi

 

[cricman]

Young Sam shows more restraint on the 6th stump line than Kohli

gotta wonder if Bumrah attacking the youngster was actually him attempting to trick the umpires from forgetting about the unfair catch

In his head.

They have lost the plot to a kid.

I can’t believe that’s an actual article.
