He’ll learn nothing wrong with being positive you just have to be smart about it.

He hasn’t been smart this test match

[Armchair expert]

Also wtf was the curator doing when Aus only need a draw???????????????????????????

[Booney]

Perhaps give some credit to India here. Supposedly in disarray in the dressing room, skittled for less than 200 and facing losing the BG trophy, then come out fired up and have Aus 4/43 and 142 runs behind, which looks like a mountain at the moment.

Absolutely. Who fired them up?

Yep Konstas needs to learn batting at different paces.

He had a really clear plan which I liked, bat normally against the other bowlers. Then against Bumrah he went after him as he knew he was a siting duck otherwise. Good to see a young lad come in and have a positive plan on how to score runs, not a plan on just how to survive.

Our batting depth is a bit thin, Konstas has a lot to work with and with time and experience has enough talent and weapons to make a serious batsmen.

[another grub]

surely he wont get another gig?

I was thinking the same, but keep in mind it was only 4 days ago the curator knew Australia would lead 2-1 going into this test.

Is that enough time to doctor a pitch, you guys would know heaps more then me.

Iranians would only need 3 days

Does Prasidh’s action have a hint of Freddie Flintoff about it?

[am Bays]

I blame Travis Head for Konstas dismissal.

He fired up Siraj in Adelaide and ever since Siraj has bowled heaps better.

Ok let’s all be consistent and lay the boots into Head. Now Siraj is getting him out.

Should have kept his mouth shut and walked off when he was out and that wouldn’t have happened today.

There’s wanker posting, then there’s this.

I’m prepared to give wuffer the benefit of the doubt about not knowing how you have “chats” on the cricket field. Some like Siraj are fair game as they are OK test players, the good ones you say nothing to especially when the game situation says STFU ie the 1st 10 overs of an innings on a spiced pitch vs the 120 over of an innings when you’ve just hit a run a ball 140.

Like Konstas, he’ll learn

Oh please, Bumrah is bowling well as he has all series, the other bowlers are benefiting from the superb conditions here for seamers (as did our bowlers), our blokes are getting out due to lateral movement, shot selection, or being 38-year-olds. It's hardly the case that we've had six Don Bradmans out there this series.

????????????????????????????
Siraj got Konstas out NOT Bumrah

[dedja]

Much to like how Webster is going about it, hope he can keep it up.

[whufc]

Siraj 2/19
Bumrah 2/27

Bumrah takes two for twenty every day of the week. The other bloke was a 0/100 operator.

It appears the bloke who sledged the bowler after getting out poked the bear to worse effect.

It’s so silly, neither of those conversations have had an effect on what has happened today on a pitch that favours bowlers.

[another grub]

Poking the bear cost us the Border_Gav plain and f**ken simple

[whufc]

We talk about right and left handed batters being handy to change a bowler line etc

Surely having a 200cm batter has to throw out a bowlers lengths etc.

Must be a big bloody bear with all the poking it’s being getting.

[another grub]

Head could come out on stilts next game?
