***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Burner]

I think there's nothing wrong with writing off India now tbh. They look mentally shot and I'll be surprised if they come back from this match.

Ashwin looks innocuous, Rahane is ****, Kohli leaving from the front. It's the culmination of ****.

 

[harsh.ag]

You will always suck overseas with that attitude.

Agreed. Bangladesh will always struggle overseas.

 

[Daemon]

Remember the tour match? What sort of pitch was that? Lets just replicate that ffs, can't take any more of us being outplayed on these turners.

I'll need to be picked for an overseas tour for that to happen first tho

That was a bit of a seamer, wasn't it? Not sure that's wise against Starc and Hazlewood.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Rahane is not cutting the crop atm. Just watched the highlights. His dismissal looked awful.

Looked a bit more like a road than a seamer to me.

 

[Gnske]

That was a bit of a seamer, wasn't it? Not sure that's wise against Starc and Hazlewood.

But they have Ishant Sharma, he's improving so much lately so I'm told that he's almost 12th man for club 3rds level of competency.

 

[mr_mister]

omfg that kohli dismissal was tasty AF

 

[Victor Ian]

wow. seriously wow.

 

[cnerd123]

wow. seriously wow.

I blame you and Shri for this tbh.

Must have seen someone in the crowd who looked a tad like Anushka just as Lyon came in to bowl, somehow the man's penis and bat never seem to work in tandem very well.

 

[Victor Ian]

I'm so happy for Lyon. Awesome effort after his bad luck last match.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Might have to give it to Garry. **** proved me wrong today.

This series so far has really turned the natural order of things on its head. Not so much that Australia are doing well in India, but the fact that it's being done on dustbowls, which flies in the face of decades of Australia failing against spin in asia and us fans constantly complaining about doctored wickets and dustbowls which give us no chance of winning.

I'm too confused about what's happening to even be happy tbh

I thought that was your default state

 

[silentstriker]

What a nightmare. India losing to overseas spin. What the **** is going on?

Which was dumb though. Dustbowls is how we usually lose at home.

Ironically, I thought we'd smash Australia on turners this time.

 

[cnerd123]

But yes the good that will come of this is that people will finally stop talking **** about spin-friendly pitches being 'poor' or 'unfair' and realise that all it takes to win in these conditions is just playing good cricket. You naturally need to adapt and do things differently, but the best players will still shine, and the team that bowls in the right areas more frequently + spends more time at the crease + holds their catches will win the game. Just like anywhere else in the world.

Or, yknow, the lads at Channel 9 will puff their chest out at how they got one over the cheating, pitch doctoring Indians in their own backyard and how their tricks backfired on them.

I dunno, shouldering arms in front of middle is how I often used to react when the wicket was damp.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oh great more pitch talk.

If you can't talk about it now, when can you? If Aus were getting smashed any talk about the pitches would just be dismissed as whinging & sour grapes
