Lichtie78 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hazlewood one of my favourite bowlers to watch. Nothing fancy but so effective. Buzzing for Joe Burns carrying his bat as well, probably shouldn’t have even played given his recent form but he’s been dropped undeservedly a few times so about time he got some luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the pleasure of attending the boxing day test against India back in 1999 with a full house. What an atmosphere and what a day. I remember very little after lunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Cracking first session. Can't believe that was going over the top just before lunch for Ashwin. Looked absolutely plum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Australia all out for 195, with India 36-1 in reply.Biggest controversy was a run out review on Tim Paine, with the third umpire giving him in on the tightest of calls. I've not seen any bat over the line in any of the replays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's no conclusive evidence to show the bat is on the wrong side of the line, so the bat looks like it could have a bit over the line. My decision is not out." Honestly, I can get along with that. The line is, as they say, the umpire’s. Either way, Australia vs India tests are usually entertaining affairs. Two pretty well balanced teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Good game in the BBL at the moment, Hurricanes scored what looked like a poor 148-7, even more so when Heat's 2 openers were belting it all round the ground. First wicket fell for 73 in the 6th over, but since then the wickets have kept tumbling and it's now 105 for 6 in the 13th over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 In the Test matches overnight, it was a tale of two collapses.Australia are just 2 runs ahead of India with 6 wickets down in their second innings. 133-6 with Wade top scoring with 49. In Tauranga, Pakistan were chasing New Zealand's 431, and slumped to 80-6. Rizwan and Faheem added 107 for the next wicket, but they ended up all out for 239. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 India tied the series at 1-1 after bowling Australia out for 200, they chased the required 70 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Joe Burns seems to be the subject of most of the home press's ire, despite his half century last week getting then over the line in the first test.New Zealand declared setting Pakistan a target of 373 to win, and the visitors were 71-3 at the close.Sri Lanka are still 134 runs behind with 3 wickets down in their second innings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
