Australian International Summer 2024/25

[Armchair expert]

In my opinion Aus must take the last 4 wickets for less than 55 runs tomorrow to have a chance of victory.

Who are we bowling first up tomorrow? I know who I am not bowling...cough Starc cough

Have to go with the two most consistent Boland and Cummins but if they don’t get a couple we could be in trouble.

[dedja]

Suspect there’ll be more twists and turns before this Test plays out.

Anything close to 200 will be a challenge, over that makes it really difficult.

Let’s see who steps up tomorrow, most likely the last day of the series. Hopefully Bumrah comes up.

Don't mind, as long as we erect a screen between Khawaja and Smith in the slips.

It has a 93/94 feel about it here

Can he not bowl for the length of time he was off, or does innings change reset?

Apparently it was 2 hours from when India started batting.

Not sure how they come up with that figure these days however.

Good question, dunno …

24.2 Fielder absent or leaving the field of play

24.2.1 A player going briefly outside the boundary while carrying out any duties as a fielder is not absent from the field of play nor, for the purposes of this Law, is he/she to be regarded as having left the field of play.

24.2.2 If a fielder fails to take the field at the start of play or at any later time, or leaves the field during play,

24.2.2.1 an umpire shall be informed of the reason for this absence.

24.2.2.2 he/she shall not thereafter come on to the field of play during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. See 24.4. The umpire shall give such consent as soon as it is practicable.

24.2.2.3 he/she shall not be permitted to bowl, until having been back on the field of play for a period of time known as Penalty time as described in 24.2.3 to 24.2.7 and 24.3.

24.2.3 A player’s unserved Penalty time shall be limited to a maximum of 90 minutes.

24.2.4 If the player leaves the field before having served all of his/her Penalty time, the balance is carried forward as unserved Penalty time.

24.2.5 The player shall not bowl until all of his/her Penalty time has been served. On any occasion of absence, the amount of Playing time for which the player is off the field shall be added to any Penalty time that remains unserved, subject to 24.2.3.

24.2.6 If there is an unscheduled break in play, the stoppage time shall count as Penalty time served, provided that,

24.2.6.1 the fielder who was on the field of play at the start of the break either takes the field on the resumption of play, or his/her side is now batting.

24.2.6.2 the fielder who was already off the field at the start of the break notifies an umpire in person as soon as he/she is able to participate, and either takes the field on the resumption of play, or his/her side is now batting. Stoppage time before an umpire has been so notified shall not count towards unserved Penalty time.

24.2.7 Any unserved Penalty time shall be carried forward into the next and subsequent days and innings of the match, as applicable.

24.2.8 If a Level 3 offence under Law 42.4 (Level 3 offences and action by umpires) is committed by a fielder, the period of time spent off the field of play as a result of the suspension shall not be added to any unserved Penalty time if he/she takes the field at the end of the period of suspension.

24.2.9 If a Level 3 offence under Law 42.4 (Level 3 offences and action by umpires) is committed by a substitute, the following shall apply.

24.2.9.1 The period of time spent off the field as a result of the suspension shall not be added to any Penalty time that remains unserved if the nominated player takes the field at the end of the period of suspension. However, any time spent off the field prior to the offence causing the suspension will remain as unserved Penalty time, subject to 24.2.3.

24.2.9.2 If the nominated player does not take the field at the end of the period of suspension, then the entire period of his/her absence will be treated as Penalty time, up to a maximum of 90 minutes.

24.3 Penalty time not incurred

A nominated player’s absence will not incur Penalty time if,

24.3.1 he/she has suffered an external blow during the match and, as a result, has justifiably left the field or is unable to take the field.

24.3.2 in the opinion of the umpires, the player has been absent or has left the field for other wholly acceptable reasons, which shall not include illness or internal injury.

24.4 Player returning without permission

If a player comes on to the field of play in contravention of 24.2.2 and comes into contact with the ball while it is in play, the ball shall immediately become dead.

- The umpires shall signal No ball or Wide to the scorers, if applicable.

- The umpire shall award 5 Penalty runs to the batting side.

- Runs completed by the batters shall be scored together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the offence.

- The ball shall not count as one of the over.

- The umpire shall inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side, the batters and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side of the reason for this action.

- The umpires together shall report the occurrence as soon as possible after the match to the Executive of the offending side and to any Governing Body responsible for the match, who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain, any other individuals concerned and, if appropriate, the team.

Stop thinking about my d!ck, you know what they say on here about us Bay supporters!

[dedja]

Just stating, definitely not thinking about it.

So where’s the answer to the original question?

[another grub]

I like India's odds from here. Snare 40-50 tomorrow and they right in it

What session do u think this test will finish in?

Day two stats- https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bgt- ... ow-1467748

[Booney]

We poked the bear in the innings (or more battered the bear)

Now paying for it

You can’t stop can you.

Not now. Too far to dig up out of it.

I do laugh how strongly you stuck up for Hinkley in the Ginnivan incident yet been all over Konstas.

I’ll wait for you to post some small one percent difference to justify Hinkley.

The f*ck you on about?

[mighty_tiger_79]

What session do u think this test will finish in?

1st session day 4 going by the over rate

[whufc]

@booney

Your inconsistenty when it comes to what is and isn’t allowed to be said on a sporting field

You strongly stuck up for Hinkley coming onto a field and spraying an opposition player. Quote “Ginnivan lit the fire, Hinkley just reminded some time you get burnt……play on”

Yet Konstas is an absolute knob for being involved in a discussion whilst actually being a player out on the field.

It’s come out that all the Indians had a crack at Khawaja for time wasting. Konstas just reminded Bumrah that the Indian batsmen were also doing it before the lunch break earlier that day.

What session do u think this test will finish in?

1st session day 4 going by the over rate

Day 4 session 1 agree
Day 3 just before stumps If Sammy or The Trav get decent scores

[RB]

Depends when we get the wickets. Day 4 session 1 if India can bat a bit longer, or Day 3 session 3 if we knock the last four over quickly.
