4th Test: Australia v India at Gabba Jan 15-19, 2021

[Incorrect]

What's Matthew Elliott doing these days, apart from looking like a regional Victorian standover man?

I'd like to see Wayne Phillips ( the opener. Not the keeper) drafted back in... I know he was bald, he'd fit right in with the spuds in our top order

I was watching but I lost my binoculars

Really? Are you at the game?
Natarajan bowling very well, do you agree?
Chance their, miss field

After 12 overs Australia 2/25

where is Eduardo Sanchez?

 

[Sphagnum]

Such an awful shot from Harris. Fkn hopeless.

 

[Fangs]

Labuschagne should open. Pucovski will be a better 3 I reckon.

Not that it matters since Labs is usually in the middle within 3 overs. Bit of a superficial change.

Yep.

I'm sitting on Michael Hussey's lap. How about you Catweasel?

 

[Eelectrica]

Smithy! The first to reach the Quiney.

But but but he for 235 against South Australia!!!


Couple of cracking shots by Smiffy.

 

[Eelectrica]

Now into double figures with a brilliant shot.

Bald men are underrated.
Beautiful shots their brus. Smith looks in good touch. Worrying signs for India

Given Warner is old, and literally worse than Marcus Harris overseas... what do they do, I understand Burns is in terrible form, but do you pick and stick with him and Pucowski? Or bring back Renshaw and go with the two younger players? S Marsh would seem to have been a better option this series than the dross used

 

[Sphagnum]

Smith just waiting for the loose ball (of which there will be plenty without Bumrah) and smashing them away to the boundary.

He may be a fan of The Strokes now based on a listen last weekend. I can see him digging 'Last Night' whilst attaching the onion to his belt of a morning.

Do they raise their bats these days?

Just happens when you get dangerously old, I think... not the time for short shorts

Burns got runs in the big bash last night apparently, they should parachute him straight back in as opener/captain

 

[Sphagnum]

Do they raise their bats these days?

He actually waved goodbye to the ball that took him past the quiney as it took off through cover. So yes, they kind of do.

 

[Haffa]

Patto is going to clean up on this deck

 

[Old tiger 79]

Yep.

I'm sitting on Michael Hussey's lap. How about you Catweasel?

Nah at my joint brah, I’m not Catweasel bro.

geez Smith looks in great touch. Those cover drives. Wonderful start this morning in general for the test match
Wow, that was a stray ball
Australia 2 down but recovering

After 14 overs Australia 2/39

And people call us cheats. We’ve been kindly giving the Indians 2 wicket starts each innings to cover the 2 “injuries” they get every game. No other nation is as sportsmanshippy as us
