    Its exactly how you sledge in the first place

    Subtle

    It dont have to be in your face brutal

    A good sledge isnt hard

    ie In the golf course pointing out a bunker or water

    Can magically see your opponent **** up

    Not hard
    Not brutal
    Spot on. If you read any of the many cricket books over the years the majority of classic sledges are absolutely hilarious. But you can see how it would play on someones mind.

    Generally Melbourne aint a road

    The pitch is usually pretty honking on days 4 and 5 so wickets fall and runs are hard to get

    PS A draw requires the Aussie batsmen not to collapse and get bowled out twice

    #****ingDelusional if you think that will not occur

    The Aussies batted on it so that isnt a surprise they collapsed

    As for the Indians batting struggles in the second knock

    FFS they 292 in front from the first innings. They more focused on organising their winning party at Crown tomorrow night rather than batting

    That is the test captains main responsibility

    To be great at two up

    It not setting fields or changing bowlers or dealing with the press

    It winning the toss

    1 from 7 Paine is

    Got to go on that stat alone

    Aussies need to seriously consider ball tampering as it's unlikely we can win a test playing by the book.

    Why not just get some 50yr old fat bald C&S player to come on as a substitute fielder who's only job is to tamper the ball.
    After the game he can get found out and suspended who cares not like you cant draft in another one to do the same next match.

    I should be running cricket in this country.

    No-one likes a punting loser like Paine in-the-neck. Toss winner gets an advantage and Aust has never chased runs very well. Massive call

    i really enjoy listening to Andrew Symonds talk about the game in these Big Bash matches.
    he offers no emotion, just straight talk about tactics, style, thoughts.
    he is also honest.
    Isa is also great.

    beats the old days of wannabe american style commentators who just yell about everything.

    2-1 wouldn’t do this series justice.
    India deserve to win it 3-1. Comprehensively out played.
    Batted better bowled better as a team.

    two points.

    1. pattinson dam near breaks a stump in half but the bail doesn't fall off, and the crowd accuse the Australians of cheating??!?!?!
    2. this burns fella has the most ridiculous stance. looks like he is checking to see if he's crapped his pants every time the bowler runs in.
