Cricket Season Thread

Still a lot of cricket to be played in this one and knowing both batting lineups all 3 results are probably on the table.

Its been nice to watch the redemption story of Marsh but sentiment can only get him so far. Webster should play if they want an extra bowler, Inglis should play if they want to stiffen up the batting.

I think considering its the 5th test and Starc is looking pretty stiff they would like the extra bowling option
I agree its starting to look like we will need to win in Sydney to win the series and therefore must take 20 wickets
We need 5 wicket taking bowlers
Don't think Marsh Qualifies with either bat or ball
Starc is important but must be 100% fit not 90%
 
Bowling over 100 overs in the first innings, with the prospect of having to bowl for a good chunk of day 5, if not most of it with Starc nursing a bung back and a rinsed Nathan Lyon. Then if that’s not hard enough, a short turnaround into Sydney. I’d expect at least one bowling change for the SCG.

Also, gutsy innings by Reddy. He’s got them back into a position where a draw is in play. If Washington had hung on for another 10 mins, it would have made a draw almost the favourite if they were still 7 down in the morning. As it stands, a lot will depend on Reddy. If he can knock another 20-30 off the deficit, who knows. I think the Aussies probably bat most of the day, just to give their bowlers a break. I couldn’t see them putting India back int before the final hour. And even then, they might only have a lead of 350-375 at most. Maybe India go for it? That’s assuming the Aussies don’t fall in a heap and leave India to chase 250. Never put anything past the Aussie batting
 
Don't understand don't understand how India's bowlers get huge seam movement Bumrah bowls full ball on 7th stump that cuts back and hits leg stump bowls Konstas with almost unplayable ball
Is this ball different or is it just top bowling a cut above 1-20 after 7 overs

I think the bowling from both sides has been a cut above. All the premier bowlers have had unplayable balls and spells at different times, with Bumrah just sticking his nose in front. Player of the series for me. I was expecting this would be a bowler series with the way our pitches have been going lately. It’s a shame Pat turned up under done, but it’s been a bowlers series and Bumrah turned up ready from ball one and has been the best.
Yes I reckon Bumrah at the moment is a cut above but the next day, or game, it could very well be one of the others.
C’mon Ozy C’mon!!!
 
2-47 in 23rd over
Smith 0 off 10
Labuschagne 16 off 42
We are really struggling to score
36% false shots highest ever
 
India playing on high emotion. If we can get through an hour or so after lunch I think they will crack and turn of eachother and there will be runs to be had
 
Day 4 India bowlers getting prodigious seam
More than any bowler got in either 1st innings
It's like the ball has a more pronounced seam
If we could get similar seam movement it will be difficult for them also
 
Smith out for 13 .Head out for 1 both playing attacking shots
4-85 we are in trouble
Now we rely on Marsh good luck !
 
Geoff Marsh should have been neutered at birth. Enough of this Make-A-Wish project trying to make his offspring into cricketers. Back to the dressing room for the Marshmallow where apparently he is a top bloke but cannot bat or bowl for shit.
