3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

[Prince EWS]

Could be fun if they collapse but I think they probably have enough already. There's some inconsistent bounce that'll make things very difficult in the 4th innings.

Lyon is definitely going to take a bag now that I've mentioned his SCG average as well.

That's why I've been kind of baffled by the complaints about the go slow. They're basically batting time here, whether they have a lead of 350, 380, or 420 won't make much if any difference to the chase.

Dismissal makes setting a target quite a bit trickier given Green hasn't looked completely comfortable out there. Probably have enough but you'd want 100 more and that's gonna take more than a session.

Eh they have enough but the could've had enough earlier. It's a fair criticism when by your own admission time is the only factor here.

It amazes me to no end how two people with identical genetics grow up to be a really humble and respectful human being and a complete knob re Waughs

Was still worse batting than Pujara before this acceleration(which everyone kne was coming) when you consider Smith is in a declaration situation and Pujara wasn't.

Defensive batsmen always get stupid criticism for their slow innings even in innings where everyone else fails. It's really ****ing dumb.

How bout you go all intent, aust lose couple of early wickets and get strangled for 270?

It was always going to be bat the first session sensibly and accelerate in the second

Honestly Australia has probably got enough here. Smith must be disappointed having just got past his half- hundred and fifty but I can't see India scoring 300+ in the fourth innings on this deck against Cummins.

Can we call up Ben stokes and change his passport or is that only an English thing?

 

[aussie tragic]

300 score and 400 lead coming up

All this talk on fox about when to declare. They really should follow my posts from yesterday

Cook and Tendulkar never went on to 100’s in each innings, all the others bar Kohli did it 2+ times.

In totally opposite ways though, lol.

"Educated edge"? What kind of ganja are these guys smoking. It's called "guiding it down to third man".

Which one is supposed to not be a knob?

Well I don't know either of them personally but Steve comes across as a much more likeable and humble bloke than Mark who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a microphone
