The Cricket Thread (part 9) - from Dec 2024

This is ideal now. The 3 quick wickets have basically extinguished an Indian win. Now they’re batting for survival. One more before the new pill and I like our chances. These two will hold until that time, Lyon definitely will. Maybe Marsh may have another go at the end Boland is at, but rest Pat and Starc for one last dip come 80 overs.

I’ve been watching most of the day and haven’t seen a live wicket yet. They keep happening when I go off to do something.

So off I go again….

LBW aside, there are tons and there are tons…

I’m extremely doubtful that decision will have much bearing on the result. India need to survive over 20 years with the new ball looming and the pitch starting to bounce unevenly.

Now that you mention it that is quite a long time to survive for a draw.

It’s going to take some serious luck and grit. Australia will surely knock India over.

If he means the BBL that’s too long for me.

Hahaha my bad…overs*

Laxman could do it

Seriously, 82 of 138…
Would be an all-time ton.

Bit of a lame over from Lyon here, too wide and not getting him to play it.

Nope. Has a legal action.

Cummins has him playing from the crease here.

Brings LBW possibilty

Not far away. Thick edge.

Starc back on for over #70, a long way from the new ball.
