***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[hendrix]

Gonna be a tough day today.

you guys still have 4 very good bowlers and if Watson bowls he's also decent. If it had been one of the main bowlers, sure, but there should be plenty of bowling in this lineup.

 

[Jono]

Don't get the Vijay hate. He's more a non-event than hate worthy, but he has an annoying habit of scoring runs against australia.

Other than Dan, this is more aimed at the Indian fan doubters who question his position every 2nd series.

 

[Kirkut]

How quick is Johnson bowling?

 

[dognutz]

Not only tough on the field bit it's tough in my loumge room listening to Warne, Taylor and Nicholas...down goes the volume - I'm puttin on the races

 

[Spikey]

marsh injury probably a good thing tbf, particularly in terms of getting rid of watson over the long term

I guess. I'd be more comfortable if Harris had been in the attack, he can stem the flow of runs and allow Johnson to do his job whereas Starc can be a liability. Guess Hazlewood can play that role but Harris just way better at it.

how so? the muppets will probably think the extra bowling two allrounders provides is useful if one of them might break.

 

[Spikey]

starc should have let that one go through just so he wasn't the only one whose bad deliveries were being sent to the fence

 

[OverratedSanity]

Decent scoreline to wake up to. How's the pitch been? Any movement for the quicks?

 

[morgieb]

And now Johnson may be hurt.

Some early movement and the pitch is carrying fairly well, but it's not very dangerous for the batsmen.

 

[silentstriker]

Atherton and Nasser are good yeah but Botham et al are just as bad as these guys.

Ramiz Raja is at the all time low for commentary at the moment. I didn't think it possible for Danny Morrison to ever be a breath of fresh air but after listening to Ramiz cricket was nearly unwatchable. The guy actually sounds senile.

I like atherton, Nasser, bumble, holding...

Not a huge fan of Botham but still. As a package, miles ahead. Plus the production quality is also superior I feel.

There has been a bit of movement. However it's also a very good batting pitch; it assists good bowling rather than make every bowler unplayable.

If you're a Test standard batsman you want to be batting on this deck.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Or made to look that way by Pujara and Vijay?

Fair dos though... No Harris was a big plus, and Vijay just keeps delivering. WAG

 

[morgieb]

Oh dear.

 

[Spark]

haze!

Well if this is true, I expect a massacre when we bowl. Regardless of who we've selected.
