Emptying the Bar from the Cricket Field!

Errol Fernando in Melbourne after DAY One in the Sydney Test Match

……  Jumping ahead to tomorrow I would love to know what we Greasy Polers predict.  Some possibilities are  Australia  325 for 4 with Konstas  150 not out.  Another possibility is   Australia 275 for 8 with Konstas  out for 80.  Let me go with that one although I can’t see Australia losing as many as 8 wickets when India has only ONE really threatening bowler. The Aussies have Boland, Cummins  and Starc  as well as Lyon.  All eyes, of course, will be on Konstas, the epitome of Test cricket 2025. He will empty the bars following players such as Sobers, Viv Richards and Lara. I do not include Tendulkar in that list. He did not empty bars. He just made lots and lots of runs!

India’s miserable 185 was indeed a match-losing total. The Aussies will surely have a healthy lead. The main thing is to leave the bar and keep your eyes on Konstas!
Happy watching and all the best.

Hi Errol, I am shocked that you put Konstas in the company of Sobers, Richards, Lara. Etc.  To me he is not even in the class of Pant who turned the match upside down.
