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

[Hutty1986]

I saw an article last night that apparently Marcus LesbianLasagna said he learned a lot from watch Pujara bat and hoped he might be able to replicate it.

He had plenty of time to watch him. Let's wait and see..

 

[Bazal]

He didn’t in Melbourne.


Well played Pant, helped by Negative cricket.

Easy single for Jajeda as well.

Well then it's just as relevant to say he was helped by mis-hitting a drive on 20-odd....that carries to Starc and "negative tactics" suddenly become spot on.

Look, somehow I'm not punting in his favour...

 

[Meth]

Wow an Indian makes centuries on roads......if it was Smith or Warner they'd say he was a flat track bully.

Smith has made hundreds everywhere aside from Bangladesh and the UAE.

Pujara has made hundreds everywhere aside from New Zealand and the WI

 

[vvvrulz]

What a pasting.

RIP Australian cricket, this is so pathetic it’s (almost) sad.

 

[Bazal]

At least Patty is still having a good time.

What a man.

 

[Meth]

Paine's only captain and in the team because.......well we all know....

He's captain because Warner put Bancroft up to ball tampering and torpedoed Smith's career at the same time.

He was already in the side.

He was still just hoping for a mistake, negative cricket IMO. It worked in the first few tests but the young fella has smartened up. He’s not not out and looking in no trouble at all. No pressure on him has helped.

I particularly liked how they flashed up the 2004 test, where India scored 700, and were half-heartedly talking about how we salvaged a draw there.

As though it's relevant to this game. As though our batting lineup are somehow comparable to that 2004 side.

Didn't do too well in Perth, the only time he was under a skerrick of pressure.

 

[vvvrulz]

A shame my mate Dhoni isn’t there, just the time for a heroic counter-attacking 40 to clinch the series from certain defeat.

All I'm saying is that defence doesn't equal negativity.

 

[roofromoz]

Warney is ready to rip... with agendas.

Nah he was on his way out. And he's only there because the other bloke stuffed up - not for any tactical nous of his own.

And importantly he's a nice guy.

 

[Hutty1986]

Starcy will have time for a 15 minute icebath and rubdown before he'll have to put the pads on.

 

[Meth]

Nah he was on his way out.

I'll take your word for it.

Who was on the way in?

 

[Meth]

If you're India, what are you doing here? Probably trying to bat as long as you can.

It could be someone's farewell Test, although they may not be aware of it yet.

Who was on the way in?

Carey was to take over from Paine this summer.
