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

[Prince EWS]

Why does Cummins have better weight transfer through his drives than any of our top 5

Edit: Lol

Because he sets himself up to never hit anything through leg.

 

[Bahnz]

Absolute buckets

 

[Daemon]

Excellent catch by Kohli. All credit to him for the performance from India today.

 

[Burgey]

That was a very good snare.

 

[Gnske]

If Starc spoons one in the air I'm done with cricket

 

[Prince EWS]

That was a very good snare.

Yeah he made it look more regulation than it was. Was quite a tough one, especially since he'd backed himself to stand a bit wider than orthodox first.

From the ICC website, apparently last updated December 2023:

3.4.6.2 The Wicket Zone is defined as a two dimensional area whose boundaries are the outside of the outer stumps, the base of the stumps and the top of the stumps.

So it looks like they didn't actually update the playing conditions, despite voting to do so in 2021 and announcing it:

ICC cricket committee makes key change to lbw reviews in DRS

The "wicket zone" will now be extended all the way to the top of the bails. Previously it stopped at the bottom of the bails

www.espncricinfo.com

They may have just updated their interpretation of stumps to mean including the bails

If Starc spoons one in the air I'm done with cricket

If Starc spoons one in the air will Border think it's along the carpet again?

Nitish gets cummins out similar to his own dismissal. chance to get them under India score.

[Spark]

[Qlder]

Comms talking about what a huge day tommorrow will be...at this rate it may be over by lunch and the huge crowd will be pissed

 

[Burgey]

Welp

 

[smellcricketintheair]

[Gnske]

Protect Boland and Lyon at least please Mr Webster

 

[Son Of Coco]

If Australia don't get to parity, they have ****ed a golden opportunity here.

 

[King Kane]

Reddy, Siraj and Krishna are stepping up in the absence of Bumrah.

 

[Burgey]

Identical to the Smith one. India bailed out by Jo-el Wilson again. Cheats
