***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[quincywagstaff]

This session has been death by a thousand cuts for Oz. India being incredibly patient and just nurdling 2-3 singles per over and taking Oz right out of the game.

Have to laugh at the Comms imploring Lyon to bowl slower; that's been a stock topic of Oz Comms for each of the last six seasons.

Is this different to a Zohaib?

Cevno has two meanings. One is a special type of tu quoque, and one is the ball hitting the back of the bat.

This was the latter, ftr.

Nah this is ridiculous. i genuinely do not know what is trying to be achieved here.

 

[Shri]

This has been a Chanderpaulesue innings.

Only thing I can think of is that they're waiting for the 3rd new ball and just trying to bowl dry to get there.

(assuming this is re: Australia's bowling)

you can do that with other bowlers - in fact it's quite common

Saha looks less ugly without a beard/stubble.

Wtf he hasn't been self-centred at all and it's definitely helped the team.

Agree that the bowling changes are poor, thought you were talking tactics in how they were bowling.

I don't get why we're being so conservative with bowling changes either.

 

[burr]

Can we sub Michael Clarke in to captain.

Balls faced.

 

[Spark]

You could hear him getting more and more annoyed through his commentary stint

 

[Tangles]

Can we sub Hartley in to keep?

 

[CricAddict]

India should definitely attack after lunch to get things moving. Otherwise, it will meander towards a draw. But the thing is, this pitch is not made up for attacking.

 

[Shri]

Ranchi has a lot of hot test cricket fans.

 

[morgieb]

Why the **** is Lyon still on?

 

[Shri]

Why the **** is Lyon still on?

Will require sutures soon on his fingers.

 

[Contra]

LOL Gavaskar.

 

[Spark]

I think that flicked his pad, if anything

 

[Daemon]

Lyon hasn't got a wicket since Day 1 Bangalore
