***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[artvandalay]

Man both O'Keefe and Lyon have gone a lot better than Warne ever has in India. They can suck balls next few innings and still be able to say that.

 

[Spark]

Kohli's after the pune game were a bit weird too imo. He seemed to write it off as "just one loss" when it was clear that it wasn't a normal defeat.

You gotta think like that though surely? Otherwise you get spooked.

 

[Zinzan]

Some extreme ghambiring going on in the last few pages. Australia have to bat last this time... 200 might be decent 1st innings dig on this.

 

[social]

Could still be a competitive total

 

[adub]

Ah, unfortunate. Deserved a ton.

Sure did.

**** India's two first digs look **** even with Rahul's efforts. Without them they are shockingly bad.

 

[Gnske]

Virat sure looks spooked tbh, Australia frightens him.

 

[Debris]

I don't know if he is capable but Rahul might need to hit out for his hundred

I am sorry. I wouldn't have begrudged Rahul the 10 extra runs.

 

[Spark]

Haha, well, that was fast.

 

[ImpatientLime]

is this pitch another rank one?

 

[Gnske]

Amazing by Gaz.

Could never have predicted he would do this.

 

[Shri]

This is depressing.

 

[adub]

too ****ing easy

 

[Spark]

Immense from Lyon though. Clearly the best he's bowled.

 

[Burgey]

Holy ****. So good. WPNCOS. GOAT.

 

[Zinzan]

Tail need a few lusty blows, 20 runs would be useful.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Best figures ever by an Australian in India?

 

[Spark]

is this pitch another rank one?

Nah, not rank. There's a few spots—Starc's footmarks in particular—which look nasty, but otherwise there's a little turn and bounce off the straight, hardly anything vicious. Mostly he's pitched the ball perfectly, and his natural bounce has meant the batsmen never knew whether to play forward or back.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is depressing.

Go. Away. ****.

This is so on you. You're going to have to live with this.

 

[Daemon]

is this pitch another rank one?

I think by day 3 we'll be calling it poor. bounce is a bit concerning.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Warner's going to smash a hundred here.
