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

[Rabbits20]

I don't think Lyon will go well in the Ashes unfortunately.

 

[Rabbits20]

Ashwin was/is far better than Lyon

Smith is out best option as spinner that could crack open this test

we are just trying to buy a wicket with Lyon, at least Smith can crank one out of nowhere to get them out

Agreed.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol just saw the replay of the 456th botched run-out. Absolutely pathetic

 

[Rabbits20]

Kohli will be loving annoying the Aussies.

He has batted superbly.

 

[Rabbits20]

India will currently be planning their assault on Lyon in last session.

Let's see what Lyon has got. Maybe a fluke of a wicket or 2.

Oh no! Then Warne will carry on and praise Lyon. Lol.

Has Kleenex ever had a stint at the crease where he hasn't gone over to Warner and given him a serious "don't say mean things to me" lecture?

How do you know what he's saying?

If Warner starts chatting, why should Kohli not respond - he's probably just explaining to Warner how much better than him he is anyway...

Problem is Warner seems to stupid to understand that having a crack at Kohli is a bit counter productive

 

[JJ]

Australia certainly setting new standards in the field.

I've watched a lot of cricket, but I struggle to recall a funnier cricketer than Marsh... whether batting or fielding you can count on comedy

 

[Pete Cash]

It all seems fun and games to me. The players don't seem that bothered. Remember yesterday saha had to pull away because smith and haddin were being a bit chatty behind the stumps but was having a laugh and a chat on the way off to tea. Its certainly not the same hatred as the Australians had for a few of the English like Anderson.

 

[TheParraboy]

yeah Warner and Watson had a friendly chat with a couple of them at the drinks break

Warner was the first to go up to Kholi and shake his hand when they were going off to tea the other day (when kholi was 140no)

I think some people just think (or want) Warner to be the bad boy all the time

 

[BunniesMan]

Barring a bag in this session Lyon will have worse stats than Hauritz in every meaningful category (rpo/avg/sr).

 

[TheParraboy]

Whats Warne smoking, there is no way India will go for this, unless we put Lyon on 24/7

I wouldn't completely write it off, Kohli can up the pace easily and there are a few trigger happy batsmen to come.

If they are to launch though it needs to be in the next few overs.

 

[Snappy]

inspirational effort from Harris

And an equal number want Kohli to be the bad guy, we all love villans...

My point was just why complain when Kohli retorts, seems weird - if you don't like the opposition responding, don't watch, or don't support sledging in the first place...

 

[Hutty1986]

Kohli better batsman than Warner now is he? That's interesting.

 

[Pete Cash]

Jeez that lbw would have been handy lol

 

[vvvrulz]

Kohli better batsman than Warner now is he? That's interesting.

At least equal imo, it would be pretty hard to argue either is better than the other

 

[Hutty1986]

Such shit bowling. An indian win is a big chance here

 

[JJ]

Take it that's referring to my post? Comprehension not your strong point?

Australians seem to have a problem with Kohli talking himself up, rather that whinging to Warner (which Australians want to believe) I was wondering/suggesting that Kohli might be telling Warner how wonderful he is...

I wasn't giving my view on who's better, not sure I have one - Kohli a middle order player, Warner an opener (the best atm, I think) - don't see any point comparing openers to middle order players for the most part

 

[Pete Cash]

Don't forget that JJ has a being Australian modifier that he subtracts from Australian players. Warner's the best opener in the world by heaps. Kohli is a very good number 4.
