We need to get through the rest of this sesh without another wicket, this pitch will get easier as it gets hotter and it we don’t stick it out the Indians will get the best batting conditions on @Stevec Day.

Maybe a bit of a front to combat nerves?

Yeah it’s the environment he is now in, which is why he needs to get back to his natural game, otherwise he is the one that is getting drawn into it.

Maybe. It could be the fact he knows he has nothing to lose. At 19, he is going to get another shot if he fails. So he can really just go for it.

 

[Buttface]

Bummer.

 

[jadtiger]

All out aggression just cost Konstas his wicket,he has to learn to take the poor ball and defend the good ones

India will win this test match in by lunch time day 4

I heard Pat say he reckoned it was the selectors fault for picking him when he was only an 18yo.

Maybe earlier.

Wow Webster is 31? I thought he was about 25.

Kwajaja 2 .Labuschagne 2 ,Head 4
I'd be concentrating on these 3 failures not the kids 23
This is the spiciest wicket I can remember
Stupid pitch preparation by the groundsman
Apparently CA have no involvement
In India pitches are made to order by the BCCI

Stupid Pitch is a bit rough but yeah it’s our house, prep pitches to suit us.
But at the same time you need some variation to produce good players.
I said before we should be stating to each ground how we want the pitch. The SCG use to be spin friendly and I know that doesn’t always suit us but we need variety. Perth big bounce, GABBA seam, bounce and heat, MCG mine field (before the drop in), etc.
Above all else though, you want a pitch that is good for all types of players if they work hard for it.

Never seen an SCG pitch like this. Im all for it

Those players have earned the right. Doubt any of them came in Day 1 of their Test career acting as if they owned the game.

They all did

Smith & Webster
Sounds explosive 💥
Hope they can continue this good partnership

 

[innsaneink]

Frrrk what a mock

Sorry 😞

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Rahul has a real safe pair of hands.

 

[Buttface]

Frrrk what a mock

Sorry 😞

Certainly not as good as @GNR4LIFE one about Bolo the other day, (that was a gem), hopefully he just jinxed Rahul’s hands.
I literally just sat down on the lounge to watch The Run Smith score his 10k run and the very next ball, gone, sorry.
We’ve all got a good jinx in us here and there. 😎

So you can throw in Smiths 33 as a failure as well
Lets go Beau !!!
