SCG 4th Test: Australia v India on Jan 6-10, 2015

I'm not attacking the strike rates I'm attacking the lack of chances for the bowlers. That's boring not a batsman scoring slow. I want a battle between bat and ball.

x2 Spot on. Nothing worse when the batsman have it far to easy like this wicket had been the first 3 and half days. Even late last night we scored 250 runs in around 40 overs.

This whole series has been a disgrace

This is proper pitch/Test Cricket

Just on some of the Lyon criticism, he actually created a few more chances than his figures show in the first innings. Dropped catch by Burns, the one Burns didn't reach, a very close LBW call (right decision not be given, but still was very close). Little support from the fielders.

He's no superstar but he's also not terrible, and has most have noticed he's the best we've hd post-Warne. I don't honestly think there is anyone at present in shield cricket who would do a better job. Including Steve O'Keefe.

edit - Boyce maybe in the future, if he develops nicely. Obviously if a decent leggie pops up you go for them. But there tends to be no just average leggie, they're either dangerous or they get pumped at the top level.

One of the better more competitive Test matches series between these two nations in a Decade for mine.

Good decision to declare IMO.

Its certainly not a disgrace but it has favoured the batsman.

Like I said yesterday, if we hung onto our catches, we wouldn't be talking about the pitch, we have created enough chances but didn't take them imo.

Come on Lyon your time to shine champ!! Nothing at all in it for the quicks until it starts reversing.

Not making them play enough for mine.


Lyon just doesn't have enough variation to trouble these blokes, he really is banking on the pitch to get him some wickets.

 

[Twizzle]

more like no variation

 

[hineyrulz]

lol Happy Jack was spot on about Brayderp.

 

[Twizzle]

India going nuts here, going for the win doesn't seem to be in their equation

Of course it is.

Who was the last team to chase 350 runs and win on the 5th day of a test?

Looks a different wicket to the one Ashwin was bowling on compared to Lyon.
