3rd Test: Australia v India @ Gabba Brisbane Dec 14-18, 2024

[Fangs]

Trivia time!

Who has scored the most test centuries at the Gabba? (It's a tie between two players).

Bonus points if you can guess which overseas player has scored the most centuries at the Gabba.

Don't use Google.

Hayden and Ponting is my guess. Probably not even close.

Neither but close. One modern and one from the old days.

 

[Fangs]

The overseas player is from the WI.

As the great Chaps learned from his grandfather: 'In Australia 9 times out of 10 when you win the toss you bat, the other time you think about it then decide to bat'.

Wise words indeed

If you’re still unsure you have a conference, then you bat.

Brian Lara?

 

[Fangs]

Brian Lara?

Clive Lloyd (In 1968 and 1984...16 years apart pretty impressive).

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Neither but close. One modern and one from the old days.

Langer. Border. Tendulkar

 

[Fangs]

Michael Clarke and Greg Chappell. 5 centuries each.

Too young I didn't see Chappell. However I'm a big Ricky Ponting fan...and I reckon Clarke>Ponting at their respective peaks. Steve Smith might be better overall but Clarke was beautiful to watch. He really loved the Gabba.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

When Uzi is pulling he's playing well.

 

[Fangs]

Langer. Border. Tendulkar

Border and Langer have 3...Tendulkar 0. Only Gavaskar, Ganguly, Murali Vijay and some bloke called Jaisimha have centuries at the Gabba.

 

[TheParraboy]

A Deep in the attack

 

[Fangs]

Touch wood (Not your own).

But Team India's bowling has been shithouse this morning. Wayward crap.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Deep spears it 10 foot down leg and puts his head in his hands as McSwe misses it by 5 foot.

 

[This Year?]

So bowling fuller with 3 wickets by lunch is the magic Gabba formula?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

In case those watching povTV aren't aware, the big bonk is starting soon.

Haydross is killing me

 

[Twizzle]

Cant get Foxtel where I'm staying, my god these dribblers on Ch 7 are painful

 

[This Year?]

Haha Smudge looks lile he's just tolerating Labs like a disinterested dad.

 

[Twizzle]

Haydross is killing me

he must get paid by the word, or should I say dribble
