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

[Incorrect]

he will have a long wait till he can bowl again, assuming he does bowl again

No he won't. Was already mentioned in the commentary that he would be free to bowl straight up in Australia's second dig...

The Test Championship final is the equivalent of a class 1 race at Bowraville bruh

is the winner declared the best horse in the world ?

 

[Desert Qlder]

India will get the best batting conditions of the test for their second innings.

We still carry the mental edge though as they are lily livers.

Good debut innings by the big strapping colt out of Brazen Beau

Grandsire was Beau Zam.

 

[Twizzle]

why are small totals so tricky ?

 

[Fangs]

Any caveats here though?

This innings is over. He would bowl late day 3 or on day 4. If he bats does that come into it?

 

[Chins get the wins]

We are about to see a special spell from our captain

I dont think there is a wait if the innings changes

 

[JJ]

Test cricket is magic

 

[Fangs]

We've got the bowling to do this.

Boland was excellent first innings. Starc very good. It was Cummins who was maybe a yard off where he needed to be.

Predicting a big session from our captain. He gets it right and we can roll these bums for 80.

That batting display reminded of the Eels edge defence.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Can Labs and Krazy K have their mouths taped up please.

The injured player is required to spend a period back on the field at least equal to the time that they were absent before resuming bowling, or batting should a change of innings occur.

I think we've got a very good chance particularly if Bumrah is injured, his last over was at 125ks so there is something up. Junior just mentioned he had back surgery last year.

A lot riding on his fitness. But at this point everything matters.

It's got the makings of an absolute classic finish. Right down to the wire in the 5th test of the series. Closer than the 2005 Ashes.

It’s a step below the Wyong Cup.

Wouldn't that mean he can't bat then? Or does it count if he sits in the pavilion for the required amount of time waiting to bat?

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Can’t see Australia winning this tbh.

 

[Marshall_magic]

I reckon 250 here is the most we want to be chasing. 220 if Bumrah is fit and healthy.

This India team worries me though, they don’t have a resilient batting line up but they have 3-4 bats who can hit a quick fire 30-40 in tough conditions. Guys like Reddy, Pant and Washington. On this pitch that may be the difference.

I don't beleive it affects his batting but only his bowling so he can't open the bowling according to that source

If his back is f**ked he may not be able to bat

We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
