4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

Seeing a lot of assuming the worst about the Indian team on this tour. I seriously hope you guys are never put in a situation where every action of yours is put in quotes. Coming out of a relationship where everything I did was disbelieved or thought badly of I am finding these assumptions very insulting to an international player who holds the record for the most dismissals in an innings for India.
Honestly, the eagerness of people of all stripes to see nefariousness and underhanded conspiracy absolutely everywhere in this series has been embarrassing given that, with one glaring exception, the series has been played in very good spirit and to a high standard between two good teams. Seriously, a lot of these people should **** off and find another sport to watch if the actual cricket hasn't been enough drama.

No worry this test is anyway going to be a draw as apart from day 1 all other day weather forecast is heavy Rain
Nah this is a classic Brisbane forecast, and if past is prologue, what'll end up happening is that it buckets down about ten minutes after stumps each and every day.

That post took a hard turn
I'm mostly talking about English "cricket" journos who have taken absolutely no interest in this series other than to gloat at India being 36ao or go after Paine/Smith yesterday. ****s one and all.

What? What does your previous relationship have to to with India using a sub (significantly better) keeper before we watched the apparently injured selected keeper come and bat completely unfettered? Seriously.

This is a reasonable point tbh.

Get real, they made a mockery of the rule. Pant clearly could’ve kept.

Bull****. There are already reports of him playing after taking pain killers. Just assuming something because it works well with your biases doesn't make it a fact. If this was a fake injury there would be no reason for him to go for scans.
