Australian International Summer 2024/25

[Armchair expert]

Another 25 runs and India will have to set a record to win.

England chased down 332 in 1928

It’s an MCG record …

I blame Konstas for stirring up Bumrah … like Dean Jones with Curtly Ambrose

All class Bumrah, reminds me of Malcolm Marshall.

I get what you're saying but I don't think Bumrah needs to be stirred up nor does he have the venom that Curtly had, he really is just a class above what we have, how can he be so unplayable at a moderate pace, McGrathesque.

Does C7 actually listen to the snot that falls out of Langer's mouth?

I dozed off 3 time yesterday, all while he was at the wheel.

Pat says … don’t panic, I’ll fix you with something just like this.

[Lightning McQueen]

Using a wicketkeeper as the sub fielder, genius stuff.

Inglis has done a calf

How many others are going to do calves

I'm sure there were udders to choose from.

Likely last over before tea.. leaves probably approx 120 to 130 overs left in the test.

Reckon Aussies will bat first hour after tea then declare and give themselves 110 to 120 overs to rock & roll India.. hopefully with around 280 lead.

Worst commentator.. can’t imagine him coaching. Repeats himself, and some outdated views. If I had a dollar for every time he talks about “dancing feet” this series

Langer has given the mute button a fair workout this past month

[Lightning McQueen]

Fair play to India, through sheer will and willingness to fight they’ve bossd this game for the last day and a half.

Bumrah is next level.

Kudos to you Mitch 2083 test runs 50 wickets fair career but time waits for no man. Ripper ton at headingly in 2023. Neville nobodies will have a crack at ya though!

After watching the Amazon series "The Test", I grew a lot of admiration for him, genuine good bloke, it's not his fault that the Aussie selectors keep picking him.

Heard him yesterday bagging Punter about his driving, it was incessant and really unfunny, he was cracking himself up though.

Never watch C7, can’t stand the commercials and that’s before you start on the commentary team.

Won't be enough, this has choke written all over it.

Not sure what it is but over the past few years our intensity seems to drop 10-15% per day, we take a stranglehold on many matches but we can drop our heads very quickly when things don't go our way.

I can only recall us digging ourselves out of a hole once in recent history, that was the Cummins/Lyon partnership @ Edgbaston.

I could be wrong but we've let more slip than we've come back from, I hope I'm wrong on this occasion but we're neither here nor there atm.

Where to with Konstas? Dazzled them in his first innings, they clogged his holes up in the 2nd dig, I love seeing the kids getting a gig but I do feel that he's a little ahead of himself. He has played one more test than I have so far though, I hope he makes the grade, he can if he uses the the field settings to his advantage moving forward.

I have no choice, I canned Kayo once footy finished.

2nd Test vs NZ earlier this year

Rohit better not drop a catch if it comes his way, sure it's frustrating, but show some support for your young teammate too.

You've milked that one for all it was worth.

Forgot we played them, how ironic that it was Marsh that got us going. We made a fair meal of that game though, we chased their runs down with 5 wickets in hand in the first and a well set Marnus at the crease, we should never have let them get near us.

[RB]

And yes it would be good if Langer stopped repeating himself.

[whufc]

Personally think India are in full control now of whatever result we see.

Anything under 350 they will back themselves in to win, even if it is off 90 overs.

They will have the ability to start a run chase with the intent on winning but will now also have the ability to pull the pin and see out the draw. With Reddy / Sundar at 8 & 9 they are going to be real tough to bowl out if they play for the draw. With probably 3.25 sessions to bat at most they will only need one decent partnership to push the draw.

[dedja]

Don’t like not taking every run … Pat isn’t a bunny and can hold an end up, and every run from here on is valuable.
