4th Test: Australia v India at SCG Jan 3-7 2019 - MATCH DRAWN

[Twizzle]

Alarming Harris put his gloves up to protect his helmet there.... in so many ways....

I think he was worried about his helmet getting dented

Ah clever. Helmet can't get dented if he's caught and then watching the game from the dressing shed.

 

[_snafu_]

Played many years for WA too, hard to imagine

He had to leave WA because he couldn't get a look in. Now he plays like a Victorian.

 

[Matt23]

How is it that Marcus Harris has made it to test cricket without having the foggiest of how to play the high ball?

Very strange for a West Australian...

 

[Twizzle]

well he did get dropped but also not all West Australians play all their cricket at the WACA

 

[Sphagnum]

Langer was the king of taking his eyes off the ball and getting hit by the short stuff.

Can't see how he can fix Harris' issue and the less said about Hick, the better.

 

[TheFrog]

Have to give credit to India though, the easy thing to do would say we don't have Warner or Smith

They might have got us past the 423 and we'd be relatively safe now, but really its the bowling that has let us down in this match. Cummins used all his juice in Melbourne.

If no more play today, I assume the crowd get their money back? Isn't there a minimum of 25 overs or something that need to be bowled to constitute a days play from a ticket price perspective?? Actually iI just did the sums and I think they've just sneaked in overs 25 today.... CA dodge another bullet and will get to keep their gate takings.... Merkins

He has done it most of the series he uses use bat/gloves to protect himself very alarming indeed.

Not much change from $150 at the Victor Trumper stand...

I don't think the gnomes been the same since Ntini sconned him...

They should be donating the gate takings to the Jane McGrath foundation or using it as part of Hick's termination pay out

 

[Bazal]

I think he must have crossed into another dimension during his transcendental meditation, and left quite a bit over there...

 

[Pete Cash]

Haha the Indian fans are blowing up on r/cricket it’s pretty funny

That’s the only joy I can take from today

 

[JJ]

He has done it most of the series he uses use bat/gloves to protect himself very alarming indeed.

He's not alone, so few test batsmen are competent against the short ball. Pretty much the sole reason Neil Wagner exists

 

[Eelectrica]

Not much change from $150 at the Victor Trumper stand...

And they wonder why people don't go. Damn $150 should be the full game pass or something.

 

[Parra]

The eels have never been in a position to enforce the follow on. Expect that trend to continue in 2019

Come on, 2001 wasn't all bad. Was only 18 years ago.

How does an opener get to international level playing the short ball like that?

Because he scores quickly, looks busy, and is a great bloke.
