Starc, you idiot

by horace Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:02

ridiculous run out.

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:07

Starc called it just didn't approach the second run with the desperation required

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:13

... and that's the decision the DRS was meant for

Good captains knock by Paine

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:20

probably doomed after that praise BD

However, only two half centuries in the match so far, both by the captain ...

Kohli 'the best batsman in the world' 50 off 123 balls
Paine 'the slug' 50 off 68 balls

So far, his shot selection has been good.

Like Kohli, he's hardly looked troubled.

Quality knock.

Hardly worth Hazlewood coming out, is it?

Another soft wicket as Lyon spoons one to mid wicket.

Hopeless from Aust - does Langer actually coach cricket skills?

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:35

Paine is going to get out trying to hit boundaries, it's inevitable.

Not sure why they aren't taking the runs. Might as well get quick runs and let them bat tonight. A run an over for 15 overs isn't going to help.

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:38

He's obviously hoping to eke out another 10 or so with a couple of boundaries in 2-3 overs.

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 10:40

well, there you go, well done Josh H.

by skully Fri 18 Dec 2020, 11:00

Well done to 9, 10, 11 to help Ima add 80 from 7-111.

A 53 run deficit with 30 mins bowling under lights is very acceptable from the hole we were in.

Great knock from Ima.

I guess it's promising that we had so many dud shots (and run outs) for wickets yet we are still in the game.

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 11:03

If we can take 3 wickets tonight we might just reach parity in the game.

by lardbucket Fri 18 Dec 2020, 11:14

dropped, bugger

by Fred Nerk Fri 18 Dec 2020, 11:29

Cummins yorks Shaw....thru a gap he could have put a basketball through.

Bumrah in as NW....an odd move which leads me to wonder is Pooj OK? Because there is no batsman in world cricket I'd trust more to last an over and a half when scoring is a zero priority....

by furriner Fri 18 Dec 2020, 13:34

Shaw needs to ****** off back to domestics.

Rest, well once Warner comes back and Smith gets his groove on, Australia will have us over like chicken over a barbecue.

Tasty and easy.

Had India not given so many chances, we would be much further behind.

by Nath Sat 19 Dec 2020, 04:33

we have a pulse. India 4/15

by Big Dog Sat 19 Dec 2020, 04:35

India running up the white flag already?

by Fred Nerk Sat 19 Dec 2020, 04:47

6-19, Kohli now one of the six....Snotty shows excellent low long-lead chest marking technique (Sumich influence?) to send Virat off. This game unlikely to make it to a third night.

by horace Sat 19 Dec 2020, 05:02

bizarre

by horace Sat 19 Dec 2020, 05:31

That is a bit of bad luck for Shami.
