***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[uvelocity]

So far this series has lasted about 9.5 days out of a possible 15.

Compete ffs, you weak ****s.

prefer them to be a complete rabble joke tbh

10.5?

Was just a guess off memory tbf. Probs right.

Since when has Australia been in the business of giving away debuts for fun?

You've got to earn it.

Well quite often in recent times to be honest. You can hardly say, compared to the rest of the competition, Pattinson, Cummins, Starc, Warner etc. have earnt it.

benchmark on point here. We've suddenly had success by *gasp* picking the best XI in the country, why on earth would you want to change that philosophy now?

To give a new, promising, player some preliminary experience with the hope of building squad depth.

I'm not saying I'm for that idea, I'm sitting on the fence a little, but there is no doubt both options have benefits.

Surely Lyon plays in Adelaide for either Jaguar or Starceh.

Yeah I think you do take a spinner into Adelaide given the nature of it.

There's probably not much in Starc and Lyon though, so would not phase me which way they go.

Btw what are peoples thoughts on dead rubber matches? Treat them like any other match, or use them to experiment a little with team changes?

When your a touring team who has lost 3-0 including 2 innings defeats, you definitely should experiment a little. When your the host nation who are trying to go for 4-0, they have to pick the best team. If a bowler is carrying a little niggle, just bring in whoever is considered the fourth seamer. Lyon will definitely play in Adelaide, his home ground.

So many of the 22 players who played in Perth have a big reason to do well - Both teams have competition for spots in most areas.

For where Australia is currently at, 4-0 would be a huge result compared with 3-1. I think India will turn up and compete at Adelaide too, so the Aussies can't rest on the laurels at all.

Disgraceful stuff by India.

Reminds me of all the Pakistani whitewashes in Australia since 1999

vvitstl.

Holy ****

We haven't been too quick either - how slow must he have been? The Test finished in 2 and a half days ffs. Although I guess he's accumulated "infractions" on this before.

You're kidding me

Farokh Engineer to make a shock comeback??

 

[Black_Warrior]

India should leave..this is a great opportunity to prevent 0-4.
