3rd Test: Australia v India at SCG Jan 7-11 2021

[Bazal]

Some high quality dictating going on here.

Dictating terms elitely

 

[Johns Magic]

Green really is starting to look like a test cricketer

He’s looked pretty nightwatchman with the bat this series. Yet to get a wicket.

Keen to see him given more time but I don’t think he’s been convincing at all.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Australia probably have 19 three match T20 series' once the summer is over

His defence looks very solid and he clearly can survive at test level. Needs to expand his game though

 

[Bazal]

Like that. Shot!

 

[hineyrulz]

Shot!! That shot was fairly convincing.

Must be watching a different guy. Think he's got all the right qualities

All he needs is time now to find his place in the side and grow

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah Warnie Sobers played a heap of cricket against Botham and Imran. Dope.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Bumrah would have 30 wickets for the series if India could catch

I have a bowler who has had four catches dropped in an over. Twice.

Haha christ he's a gem. I hear Don Bradman used to love watching his knocks on youtube at the end of a day's play..

 

[Old tiger 79]

Fresh bowlers, hitting the pitch hard with the new ball. It’s going to look like a new wicket now, declare now Paine you merkin

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Green, a relative kid in his third test, in a wonky batting order that has had 5-10 years of issues, surrounded by 4 of Australia’s best bowlers, with an odd bod coach...done alright by me.

 

[Smug Panther]

Green survives at this point because we don't have any decent bats to bring in. With our attack plus Labs, Smith and Warner we don't really need an all rounder

Yep, his done his job brah

He bats and bowls ok and takes catches. Gets him a tick.

Warne just says dumber and dumber things as the Test goes along.

I just think as Bazal alluded to, he hasn’t shown much scoring range. Of his first few boundaries today a couple of them were edges through the slips. Take those out and he’s been struggling to tick the scoreboard along even though it’s clearly his intent.

He can drop anchor with the front foot block, sure. But he’s also highly susceptible to LBW doing it which India have targeted, and he has been edging as well.

Clearly he can score runs because he’s had big innings in Sheffield Shield. I just don’t think we’ve seen it this series against international standard bowling, but he may be playing within himself.

And Don Bradman learnt everything he knew from watching Video of Victor Trumper.

His temperament and shot selection is the main thing I'm looking at when he's playing here, and at the moment he's levels about plonks like Head and Wade. Give me limited scoring range over the rash strokemaking they bring anyway.

I've seen enough of him at first class level to know that he's got a lot more than what he's showing. It'll come as a function of experience and comfort at this kinda level. He's clearly playing to the opposition and situation IMO

Paine busy and dictating terms... Darren Berry couldn’t have done much better
