2nd Test: Australia v India at MCG Dec 26-30 2020

[Bazal]

Great snare!

And just like that we're pretty much into the tail....Vihari, Pant, and the Earl of Rajkot can bat but you'd hardly be afraid of that middle order

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Class all round from Cummins and Paine there.

Glad Pujara is gone, but not as much as I’ll be when Pant is gone.. he’s the guy I’m worried most about.

Paine is legit a hero for Strayan cricket

and Cummins is a generational talent

You should've seen this place when Phil Hughes was in the test team.

Ahhh I was in LU hiatus during those years.. only got myself to blame mate..

Especially if you add 2 for 20.

Especially if you add 2 for 20.

What if, and hear me out on this one cos it's a bit wild, we add 3/30?

I'm fairly sure in my time on LU, I've posted:

Shaun Marsh would play 100 tests and score 10000 runs.
Fail Hughes.
Warner would never be a test player - too hit and myth.
Mitchell Johnson's career was over - good riddance - with his busted toe - circa 2011/12
Pat Cummins was an injury crock who'd never play more than 1 test. f**k him off.

Nostradamus

Does that rule apply if they just got 2 for ?

Other than DRS Shenanignas at times, he certainly been a rock of a captain in all facets of test cricket

And pineapple.

He legit has this role for the next 4 years if he wants it.

Carey is the other option? Pfft. Plois!!!

3/67

Another one or two before lunch would be superb

Nope it has to be 2 for 20 exactly, Warne rules.

Paine will go down as one, if not the, most underappreciated Australian captains of all time IMO.

He's not Waugh/Taylor level by any means but I've literally seen him called on of the worst, which is so far off the mark you wonder if those people are from another planet

Yup, Read the hierarchy want him to continue on for a while and squash this "who should be the next test captain" talk

Body wise , may have a good couple of years left at least

[Tommy Smith]

As an outside observer I think it's cute that some of you thought Australia were in trouble, frankly at any point.

195 with your bowling attack on a good pitch for bowlers against a team who just scored 36 AND is now missing Kohli. Seriously it looks like 395 already.

I'll be shocked if Australia win by less than 200 runs.

In Roy Symonds world...

His keeping is solid +
Captaincy +
Bloke, genuine +
Chirp, not sledge +
Not a merkin +
DRS -
One of us - ie, a bloke who has had his adversity and battled it to be up there +
Batting handy +
Not a merkin +

I should hate Pat Cummins. Tall, athletic, chick magnet, luscious head of hair, everything I'm not.

But I love him like a son of a bitch.
