***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[StephenZA]

If its turning too much, Aus should just play another batsman. No one has done that yet. Could work.

Because once Jadeja and Ashwin have bamboozled the best 6 batsmen they will struggle with the 7th?

Hypothetical scenario where their batsmen are not completely **** against spin.

 

[Shri]

Wow, India last won a match in Australia in 2008 and Australia last won a match in India in 2004.

 

[centurymaker]

India last won in Australia in 2008 at the Waca.

Australia have lost all of their last 7 Tests in India

Played a match at Arundel against Combined Services and hit their opening batsman on the scone.

After he was taken off, I was wandering back to my mark and a fieldsman threw me the ball when I wasnt looking and it struck me above the eye

Result: batsman and bowler retired hurt on the same ball

Havent told half of what went on

Whole day was like an episode of Fawlty Towers and could not possibly be replicated outside the UK.

Ground itself is obviously beautiful but not in the top 5 of the ones I played on over there.

It is basically set in a park and you only get fleeting glimpses of the castle through the trees

Nowhere near as spectacular backdrop as Dharamsala or somewhere like Queenstown

Australia should just play their 4 best bowlers - Starc, Haze, Bird and whatever spinner

EVERYBODY falls into the trap of playing ordinary spinners because it's India and hot

Meanwhile, India sits back and says "Ooh, another spinner. Please sir, can we have another?"

I'll let CW choose an avatar for me for a year if 3 spinners play. Just don't see it happening.

 

[indiaholic]

That is.. Brave.

Maxwell doesn't count ftr, not that I think he'll play

The greatest spinner of all time thinks Maxwell > SoK.

4 and 5 match series for tests should be scrapped bar the Ashes. It's good because interest levels will be maintained. It will be one of the biggest milestones in cricketing history if Australia wins this series. India has destroyed all the teams thus far.

Quoted for dibs........ just in case.

He'll be a casualty of this tour at this rate guaranteed if all goes as predicted and we get zilch for victories.

Ooh, I hope so.

A lot of the time Ashes series can be ****, yes 2005 was good but that is an exception.

Jeeezus. We get it ffs. Go do something else.

 

[Compton]

Murali?

He said spinner, not chucker.

 

[theegyptian]

The key question to ask is How many players will Australia use in the series?

I'll go 17. One more than last time (and the same as England and India used in the 5 test series that recently concluded).

 

[Shri]

Nah.

Off to bed for the day. Can't wait to wake up tomorrow. Will be nice to talk **** with the aussies after a depressing tour with the poms.
