4th Test: Australia v India @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2024

[T-Boon]

Is this the end of Mitch Marsh at test level? He'd need a massive second innings.

He isn't contributing with the bat or ball. Webster is waiting and the SCG looks likely to be a live test.

I'd give him the next test but open with him and give him license to go raygun.

 

[Lynoman]

They drop McSweeney for under performing, yet Mitch fails for the 8000th time and they keep picking the nuffy. JFC!

 

[Fangs]

Truly wild.

Against the new ball? What of our new opening partnership of Konstas and Khawaja?

KK it rolls off the tongue. The age difference between the two. From a marketing perspective we'd be mad to change it.

 

[T-Boon]

Fellas I reckon we need to get the boundary rope in another 10 metres.

 

[Fangs]

I've got a real rule change.

Ban drinks breaks. Simply unnecessary. Umpires can hide a small 250ml water bottle under the turf at square. Players are permitted to sip the bottle between overs however they must ration carefully as it will need to last a whole session.

By extension all water bottles on the boundary rope are banned.

Great call f**khead. More please

 

[Fangs]

Hands off Smith please Virat. He is in the zone.

 

[mozza91]

This Smith bloke is an ok bat.

 

[Fangs]

India are being bullied now. Beautiful stuff.

And there is the lap sweep. Wonderful from AT Carey.

 

[Fangs]

Now the misfield.

All signs point to India being crushed by an innings in this test match.

 

[Haffa]

Bailey currently looking for ways to Drop Head and move marsh up the order.

 

[Sphagnum]

What Bailey should be saying to Mitch Marsh

 

[blue bags]

Yep we are good here. Won't lose another wicket tonight.

Carey in fine form and a left hander. Smith relaxed and has just reached chanceless 50.

It's all over for India now.

Bumra injured as well

Umpire deserves and needs a rest. That's why the drinks break remains.

Add an extra umpire and rotate them?

The ICC can issue camel packs to the umpire's. That way they can refresh themselves at their leisure.

Have you stood in the middle of an international cricket ground for 2 hours straight concentrating every ball? Umpiring is more than standing around counting to six.

Maybe your employer should issue you a camelback, instead of allowing you a break for a drink. I'm sure you'd be happy about that.

Okay, but batsmen need to face up within 1 minute of getting hit in the helmet or they are timed out.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Stumps. Australia 6/311.

Even I'd say. Australia should be on top but a few gave it away and then there's f**king Marsh.

Big first session tomorrow.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Smiffy hasn't looked that comfortable in a good while. We are in complete control
