[Twizzle]

Starc throw the bat you can't defend mate

[TIGER14]

Umina Panther has had some awful takes during this match.

 

[Mr Angry]

Bat till out.

 

[Twizzle]

400 run lead

go you good things

 

[Bazal]

That's the big milestone lead. Bat the innings, but we can take a chance or two now...

 

[Twizzle]

plumb

Gotta love the Indian appeal system:

Not even close - shout
Marginal but clearly not out - big shout
50/50 - whole team hopping around screaming
Clearly gone - ... ugh

 

[hineyrulz]

Well played skipper.


He's put this well beyond reach today.

 

[Eelectrica]

Luck had to run for Smith at some point. LOL.
Still awesome stuff from the skipper. Surely India can't run this down.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol Starcy giving these Merkins a good rogering.

 

[BunniesMan]

Brilliant from Smith. But don't think this is over yet. We once thought we had a match wrapped up and then Dravid and Laxman got rolling.

Losing to a record chase is not beyond us.

I can't believe I agree with this, especially if the next three disappear fast.

It would take some exceptionally poor bowling too.

True. At least this time our bowlers are rested up and ready to roll. The heat wore our bowlers down then.

AB and now Starc himself have agreed with my opinions people here didn't like. Im very comfortable with what Ive said

 

[Bazal]

Ugh. Awful shot, Starc....

 

[Ibleedblue]

Block the good balls, frustrate the shit out of them and smash them then

Get in the queue now lads lol.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Smith 109 for 6 Lol still better than India. He's a true modern great alongside the likes of Lara, Kallis, Sachin, Sanga and Punter. No doubt.

And if India win from here I'll strip naked and sit on a stump. No chance.

 

[vvvrulz]

I hope Mitchell Starc, unlike Mitchell Johnson, does more with his batting career other than as the occasional slog merchant. He's just as clean a hitter.

At least he isn't Southee I suppose.

 

[Hutty1986]

Brilliant ton from hometown harry. Another valuable cameo from Starcy too
