***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli not bowling Jadeja for that long was inexplicable.

But you never bowl left arm spin to lefties, don't you know that?

 

[OverratedSanity]

My bad you're right.

 

[Burner]

It has been barely 6 months since Aus got their asses handed to them by Sri Lanka. Goes to show that technique is over-rated and how much digging in and a good mind set really matters.

Technique isn't over-rated, but technique alone doesn't score you Test runs.

 

[Tangles]

So Aus has a lead and batted through the day. Something India hasn't done yet. Any lead on this deck should be good for a win barring a massive ****up.

 

[honestbharani]

It makes me wonder why they can never bat for draws

I guess it is easier for their psyche to adapt when its told that it is to help them win the game rather than draw the game.

 

[Tangles]

Maxwell should be playing third test. It does cause a big problem though... does he bat below Wade?

Lol it's almost worth picking Maxi to see if Wade convinces Smith to bat him above Maxi.

 

[91Jmay]

Maxwell in for M Marsh would be decent. More useful bowling and can't contribute less with the bat.

IF Oz somehow manages to claw themselves to a 100 run lead, it honestly would not surprise me to see them win by an innings

This pitch is bog ordinary and every run is worth double

I dont think that you can underestimate the contribution Renshaw has made to this team

It appears to me that this 20 yo is almost leading the team by example

Remarkable really

[Burgey]

aw **** forgot about him

Yeah he should be in the team. Lyon should be safe for another Test but if he doesn't dominate it then replace him with Maxwell IMO.

Fmd a bloke takes 8/50 and you still want him dropped. Weird obsession you have against Lyon.

Are you Blocky?
Are you Blocky?
Are you Blocky in disguise?

We won't underestimate it cos you've told us twice mate

Remarkable really

Yeah, when he was first picked I'd never heard of him, but I wanted him to do well just because he was young and seemed a different type of player than your recent Australian stereotype. He's gone beyond that and really, really impressed me.

 

[GotSpin]

Renners. Get him up here. I wanna boof him

 

[Compton]

Renshaw is brilliant.

Sometimes when you watch him it looks like he's never played cricket before, or like he's playing it in someone else's body and he isn't quite used to it yet.

But he has this brilliant ability to just score runs, and that can't be taught.

 

[Bahnz]

While the pitch made viewing soporific at times, these two teams are so much fun to watch that it was still compelling viewing.

This one's over btw. Anything above a 50 run lead on this track was always going to be decisive, and Australia look likely to finish 100+ ahead. Agree with those who say there's a decent chance of Australia not batting again.

Amazing stuff from Aus given this is largely the same team that got whipped by Sri Lanka.

 

[GotSpin]

Im not counting my chickens yet but if we manage to claim a series win here it'll be one of my favourite victories ever.

After getting the absolute **** beaten out of us on the subcontinent for the past decade this is such a relief to see.
