They said thery'd be a 50/50 chance of shower/storm. Hardly a doom and gloom rain prediction

joe burns
worst test cricketer in many many years |
|
By:
His second game you git.
|
|
By:
lmao
his LAST |
|
By:
Great call hero.
 |
|
By:
you dope
he hit one where he meant to no idea have you |
|
By:
if he didnt field like he has cerebal palsy australia would be 1.20
|
|
By:
No idea at all. Guy is averaging 40 in tests, probably end second game with 2 fifties to his name. 25 and fielding in the hardest position on the ground for most of the game. 10-12 years available for him, could be anything.
|
|
By:
how many does he average in shield cricket??
lmao |
|
By:
Well done Joe Burns... playing for the team, not for himself
|
|
By:
Exactly. Better SR than most will get tonight in the Big Bash, on a turning 4th day wicket playing for his spot by doing what the team requires of him. Terribly players... rotflmfao
Averaging 46 now. |
|
By:
be a good idea to retire from tests then because his average will never be better
|
|
By:
lmao he wears inners
|
|
By:
at least he has optimism
|

By:
Took some india, trade out laters .
|
|
By:
do you want me to copy and save your post ?
second coming? he will never finish test cricket with an average of 46 |
|
By:
if he looks quality to you , then you may need a batting coach, imho
|
|
By:
if you want you can deduct from his aggregate the runs he gifted india .
as brayshaw and warney said it was harder to drop than catch soon he wont be though |
|
By:
|
|
By:
ok
you are entitled to your opinion its just wrong |

By:
32.61 was good last year.......
|
|
By:
This game has real potential now. 2/100 at lunch tomorrow would set it up nicely. I think under Kohlis's captaincy India will try to win it
|
|
By:
no one scores 350 5th day scg
 |
|
By:
There is no way India have a sniff Charkitz. Important for them to turn over the scoreboard tomorrow rather than just block out but no cowboy shots.
|
|
By:
I didn't say they will win, I said they will have a crack at it...
|
|
By:
Can't see it. They will play what is in front of them otherwise it is suicide ( again ) but yes it would be good to see them scoring freely and Smith keeping the field up to give them a sniff then it will be fun to watch
|
|
By:
If Kohli does prove to be an agressive captain it'll be great for test match cricket.
The Aussies have had the most agressive/attacking captains for years and haven't had much competition in that regard. But Brendan McCullum is leading the way now, think he could put Steve Smith to shame when the Kiwis visit Oz next year |
|
By:
Doesn't matter how good your Captain is or how aggressive if you can't bowl a team out twice in 5 days! But again yes it will make things interesting. Actually his attack at Adelaide is to be commended but I sometimes wonder if there is a team plan at all. They play so bad at times. Saha's dismissal at Adelaide was shocking but that is inexperience. He looked good today at times
|
|
By:
Have taken some more draw at these prices. Given the match situation and Steve Smith's cautious approach last time, I think it should be about 1.5 and will trade lower during the first session day 5.
|
|
By:
People said Kohli's 2nd inning knock on a day 5 adelaide pitch was one of the best they've seen but let's not forget that was in Adelaide which is without a doubt that flattest track in Australia
This is Sydney, that ball was spinning on right angles today and with inconsistent bounce it is going to be a nightmare, I can only see an Australian win here unless it rains of course but I don't see anyway that India are winning but at the same time I fully expect them to try and win |
|
By:
india drops from 20 to 16.5 in ten mins overnite dec it is then
|
|
By:
dec won't happen over night. Aus are old school conservatives content on letting test match cricket rapidly fall behind all of the alternatives.
NZ seem like they know how to keep Test match cricket alive in the modern day. |
|
By:
I would bet they will declare. It seems pointless to bat on.
|
|
By:
there's no doubt we will declare, you could just tell by the way Burns was batting that someone told him go out and bash it as we are declaring at the close of play
|
|
By:
who's in Sydney? Could do with a balcony weather report or will Aus finish it before any rain may come? Starting to fancy a punt on the draw now at odds against...any takers?
|
|
By:
yep if they bat on they will lose the possibility of the 2nd new ball
different scenario to melbourne where they were more interested in securing the series. can be more cavalier in a dead rubber |
|
By:
its cloudy and some chance of late showers or storm.
BUT the pitch is kangaroo edward and india would be buckleys if they had more left hand batsman the danger area is outside off to a left hander at the randwick end. smith may come into play today with his leg spin although the up and down bounce will suit all the quicks. if kohli goes its curtains. please smudge show some heart and put burns at long on and get a real fielder with a lid on in there close. |
