We still have two Sri Lanka Tests to secure that final spot mate. I still think we can win this, if not a draw is sufficient to take out the series. We may even pick up the required WTC points.

Predicting this will be over by end of 4th day despite two upcoming scorchers that will no doubt dry and likely singe this grassy track. May be providence as showers forecast on the final day.

Oh Sam, was never to the pitch of that drive and he had made such a sensible start too. Rocks and diamonds Travis Head. Rocks past two matches.

Sam with a solid, minus fireworks start to the day. Beaut day in Sydney like most of December.

Have some interesting Kontas anecdotes. Sam Konstas played fifth grade for the St George District Cricket Club at the ridiculous age of 12 and when the end-of-season report came out his coach Warwick Hayes wrote; "Watch this space - Special K will go places. He is never overawed". Hayes knew...

Try my new Riddles/Quiz and Nostalgia threads. I ignore trolls.

I say cut Kid Konstas some slack, just turned 19. If he has come thru juniors with this technical flaw, blame his coaches and there have been plenty, mostly for white ball and they dont seem to take the time to hone red ball skills. Sam is driven so he will eradicate this flaw by spending hours...

You mean WTC final or next Saffer series. Final is June.

You and I holding the fort DC.

Yep I saw him take them at least once. Is Starc super human and can play with pain that sidelines his mate Josh Hazlewood who has missed so much cricket with his minor niggling injuries.

That wont be easy as this is a lively seaming track, most welcome too from the usual flat, turning SCG ones.

candle it is. have a turn.

So am I.

Gotta win it.

Replay showed a faint snick on glove.

India a piddling 107 at tea. Fair to say ball dominating bat big time. :rolleyes:

Yes with the odd effort ball thrown in. He is ideal if later Pat wants an end tied in knots.

He usually does. Gives nothing, keeps it tight.

It was. That was two years ago? Noticed they are using some new personnel these days and are now playing better cricket.
