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

[OverratedSanity]

people aren't seriously suggesting jadeja, aren't they? this isn't a chalkboard where you can dart it in and expect to turn it more than two inches, and i still remember ganguly laying into him during england

They all have ridiculously short memories, that's all.

In England he was the sole spinner, that's not how he should be used, he'd be there for variation and to split up the workload for the 4 main bowlers.

 

[Antihippy]

Bhuvi would probably balance out the side pretty well.

I'd honestly say drop rohit for bhuvi.

 

[anil1405]

Jadeja would be as good as Rohit in both bowling and batting on pitches like these. Am not a fan of Rohit in the test team but to say Raina or Jadeja would have made better contributions is a joke.

 

[Teja.]

Are we legit getting beaten up by a kid on debut with an FC batting of 11? We should forfeit IMO.

yeah but he's so far from a test standard batsman it's ludicrous. he's glenn maxwell with less shots.

To be fair maxwell could do with less shots at test level.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thats a bit of an overrated statement. Starc is not bad with the bat but surely not as good as Midge.

You were saying?

 

[Swingpanzee]

haha i don't comment over here for two days and Australia are beating the **** out of India. Will be gone for the entire summer

tbf Haze is far from the worst no.11 in history.

 

[OverratedSanity]

2 full days still remaining. We've lost this unless it rains.

He's not the most technically correct batsmen but he played a match saving innings at trent bridge and he can go on the attack when he wants, at the very least he can score 30's and 40's which is the same as Rohit. Rohit is playing purely on potential which IMO he's not as good as everyone else thinks he is. Jadeja is also a better fielder, he's taken some brilliant catches and inflicted run outs which always helps.

 

[anil1405]

You were saying?

I still stand by that. Midge has better ability to turn games under pressure with bat.

 

[Antihippy]

Is this lead seriously going to stretch to 100?

 

[adub]

900 runs in 8 sessions is a pretty fair old gallop.

 

[adub]

declaration bowling from India?

6-247 BJ Haddin (c: Pujara b: Aaron, 61.1 OV)

Seems like only a few hours ago...

 

[Burgey]

Last four wickets have put on 250. God there's nothing worse than tail end runs when you're in the field. It's the most frustrating thing in the game.

 

[Contra]

what a difference a proper tail makes eh.. India should have scored 450 yesterday. Hopefully we can draw this game somehow
