5th Test: Australia v India @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2025

[_snafu_]

Rishabh should start ramping.

Webster is Tasmanian as f**k. I’d be surprised if hasn’t got to 3rd base at least with a blood relative.

 

[Bazal]

If Kerry Takei says "helloooo" one more time I might use this drill on my ears

 

[Bazal]

The BOATs a Lyon-bility

 

[Fangs]

India did try to play positive cricket but the pitch has been doing enough to create chances. When they go prodding they get into trouble.

Lyon drops another. That's 3 so far today.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Webster's bowling is levels above Darsh. If he's better than a tailender with the bat then we've improved significantly here

 

[Fangs]

Wadey levels of tenacity here from Pant.

 

[mozza91]

Maybe try hitting it with the bat instead of your old fella.

 

[TheParraboy]

This is why slow over rates

 

[Haffa]

they’ll be lucky to get 150 runs today.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Yeah batting for a draw day 1 in a game they need to win is very odd

They're in an odd place.

The bowling has been very good and the pitch is offering something. I thought they started positive and tried to score but had to tie things down due to wickets lost. 3 dropped catches remember.

Still wouldn't they be better off going to for 200 all out and sending Australia in? Move the game along and get Bumrah on this wicket while it's still offering something. Day 5 has rain forecast so time isn't necessarily plentiful.

Lol Pant

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Webster has bowled more today than marsh in the last 4 games.

 

[mave]

Pant finally bored himself to death.

 

[Bazal]

Pant is a walking (waddling?) brain explosion and I love it

 

[Fangs]

Pant finally has a bite.

Cross bat shots aren't gonna work at the moment. The bounce doesn't look that consistent. He should have kept dancing and driving down the ground.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

3/19 off 15.4 for Boland. Been wonderful today.

 

[mave]

Honestly, he is better off, for himself and India, just playing his natural game.
