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

[Eelectrica]

Wait what... mmarsh and labuschagne? How long did I sleep in? Is it April fools already?

I guess when it comes to Finch Vs Labuscagne vs mmarsh it's not much difference.

Anyone give Sri Lanka a chance in the 2 tests after this one?

I expect Finch and M Marsh to be selected and score a 50 each over the 2 tests therefore cementing their spots until 2021.

No.

Matthews is out. They had a slim chance with him there, which has just become none.

Shame for them. I think Australia will win pretty convincingly obviously,which may not be the best thing as like I mentioned it could create excuses for selectors to stick with some players who aren't really up to it.

Pant just copied what Kholi had already said, nothing original there.

Ashwin has reportedly failed a fitness test

Reports of a worried looking man in a Raiders jersey fleeing the scene with a small doll and a bunch of pins in his hand are as yet unconfirmed.

Depends if their batting can score 300.....because ours can't......

No Ishant

 

[Hutty1986]

Watching the 2013/14 Ashes highlights dvds. Smith is an absolute genius.
Haddin a very good batsman too, plenty of ticker. We need that now.

Two hours after India's spokesperson declared that R Ashwin was unfit for the Sydney Test, the offspinner was included in the 13 named for the series finale. That was not the only surprise: Ishant Sharma wasn't included in the 13. Umesh Yadav was roped in as his replacement. Ishant experienced some left rib-cage discomfort and the team management did not want to risk him during this Test, with a spokesman saying he was "currently being assessed".

Left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav has found a place too, while KL Rahul returned in place of Rohit Sharma, who has flown back home to attend to his wife and newborn daughter. This means India are not entertaining any thoughts of playing Hardik Pandya, the allrounder flown in after the Perth defeat.

FFS.

Now I'll have to ring the hire place and tell them I might need that tuxedo-dress after all

 

[TheParraboy]

wont surprise me both Jadeja and Ashwin play for India being the SCG only two pace bowlers

We cant play spin for shit, or most cant, plus it strengthens their batting a lot

 

[JJ]

Will against them. Given you're a fair weather fan and haven't been watching, the Indian bowlers have been terrific and better than yours

I’ve just seen on reddit we’re leaving out Finch and MMarsh for Labuschagne and Handscomb.

Ok then.
