4/4 to finish the innings seems particularly stupid now

Hazy goes to Ashtray.

India win by 31 runs.

Well done them.

Viva la Test Cricket.

Bugger , if only Aus had a competent top order.

by tricycle Mon 10 Dec 2018, 05:12

Phew. What an excellent match

by skully Mon 10 Dec 2018, 05:12

SO many little things done badly by Aus.

Didn't review a snick by Poony on 89 - it was out. He added 123 with the last 4 bats.

Fink didn't review his dismissal - it was not out.

Koo's poor bowling with the new ball.

Etc, etc, etc.

Aus really needed to win that one. I reckon 4-0 to the Bannies is now on the cards.

by Bradman Mon 10 Dec 2018, 05:13

Yep truly sad K when the bowlers show the batsmen how to bat

Yep.

Positives...

- if Harris learns to move his feet a bit, he might be a good Test opener.

- Head's 1st innings.

- Bog's 2nd innings.

- Elmer's whole Test - what a player.

Negatives...

- the bad things listed above.

- Fink and Wank are not Test cricketers.

by Bradman Mon 10 Dec 2018, 05:15

Did he actually catch it? Who cares. Worthy winners.

Qunts.

Fair assessment. If you look at the balls faced they had all played themselves in, before getting themselves out.

by skully Mon 10 Dec 2018, 05:28

Well done to Poony on his thoroughly deserved MoM.

Indeed.

The spirit of AB lives in Lyon. Ledg. Unfortunately point was the difference. And surprise, surprise he only plays red ball cricket.

by Guest Mon 10 Dec 2018, 07:43

What a stunning test match, shame about the time difference as would have loved to have watched it.

Hope Australia come back in the next couple and we have a grandstand finish to the series.

Congrats to the Addledville curator, who produced a wicket that gave the bowlers something all match.

Sure the scoring was slow but it was engrossing cricket.

by Bradman Mon 10 Dec 2018, 08:38

Told you to have faith skulls.

by Fred Nerk Mon 10 Dec 2018, 09:56

OK here's another stat:

Nathan Lyon, who also bowled 70 overs, batting no 10 scored 62 runs for the match without losing his wicket, a total only one other Australian batsman exceeded (another matched it exactly). If any other two of the top 7 bats had managed to match that 62 over both innings, we were home.

by Bradman Mon 10 Dec 2018, 10:18

If all the top seven had added seven runs each......?
