Cricket Season Thread

Why wouldn’t he be under their skin? A cocky teenager who has achieved nothing is getting in their face, not just with the bat, but physically and is instigating verbal confrontations. Any competitive athlete would get their noses out of joint thinking “Whose this kid think he is”. So is he under Bumrah’s skin? Probably. Is it putting Bumrah off his game? You tell me.
Why does he have a chip on hios shoulder?
Im not sure you get what the term means
 
Hey BF how did you enjoy your day
I'm maybe for day 3
Great day, always is when you’re on top. Great weather. Great pitch. The SCG is still my favourite ground to watch cricket.
The weather held the green in the pitch all day but tomorrow’s gunna be 28 by 11am, so I reckon that pitch will be a lot more beige by lunchtime.
So we need see off the new ball and plunder all arvo. Bat until mid arvo day three so you can watch the boys (the bowlers), carve their way through the top order for half day four. Then we can all pack our bags for the WTC Stevo.

God I love test match cricket, and it’s great having a day live. I’d love to do all five days one time.
I was supposed to be here till at least Tuesday so I probably would’ve backed up again day four. But my dog sitter cancelled at the last minute and I have to go home Sunday now.

India lost the fourth test.
He had a lot to do with that by destroying Bumrah in the first session and emboldening our batting order to score over 470 runs.
 
Btw, Bumrah is no angel. He’s acted like a wanker a few times lately.
The kid isn’t taking his shit.
I love that.
Sam didn’t even look Bumrah’s way after the wicket. It was all just games manship.
Meh.
Sam was just making sure we only had one over before that.
Anyone saying it had anything to do with Uzi are dreaming. Sam needs to score some runs now though or they all laugh at him.

Yeah agreed. He is playing the game. Uzi let him down getting out like that.
The boy needs to back his actions up though. If he walks the walk tomorrow it will be all worth it.

He needs to score runs for the benefit of the team. That’s his job. Nothing to do with anyone laughing at him.

You’re making it out like he somehow turned the series cos he went after him on Boxing Day. Australia already gained the ascendancy in Adelaide. And then dominated in Brisbane after a big first innings., despite the weather. Bumrah wiped the floor with them in the second innings at the MCG and put them in a winning position. But as usual in this series, got no support and the game managed to slip away.

I’ve said none of that.
I said he contributed to that win by attacking the bowler who was worrying our batsmen. This put said bowler off his game for long enough that we could mount what ended up becoming a winning total.

Exactly. You are seeing it clearly Tucker.

How did it put him off his game? He ran right through them in the second innings.
