***Official*** Australia in India 2017

Actually uncomfortable seeing Cummins profile on cricinfo and not seeing the numbers 1 and 16.71 in the test column.

I said it before, but Starc's injury was a blessing just to get Cummins' career back on track.

Jadeja should've been MotM imo.

Boredom does some odd things to you.

Plus when other ****s reference them in posts made when I actually was a member (and reading them live), you do get curious.

~uncute~

Absolutely. And I feel Smith has had no small part in this performance through getting the attitude right in this team. I give Lehmann no credit.

Also, I much prefer supporting a team full of young talents than 35 yo journey men. Ageist as that may be.

I really like the way Smith is moulding this team. He is doing the same thing Border did. Take a bunch of mentally, weak-as-piss, ****-****s and showing them how it is done. If he can just get through to Warner.

Nah, ****. Played on my image well

Your uncute one!

If Smith is Border, then who young Steve Waugh?

Mitch Marsh.

Isn't morgieb too old for you to be flirting with him

Yes. One of many reasons he is ~uncute~.

This draw has done more for the series than a win for either team... makes the final test much more exciting. I did not think Aus would bat out the day.

And opposite to everybody else I thought this pitch was good, maybe a bit slower than one would want but it is in India. Provided something for everybody and if you batted well and were patient could score runs. I do not believe that there are any other Test teams in world cricket right now that would have batted out the final day against India on this pitch.

Speaking of remembering old posts, I still remember one from Pews from a decade ago where he said Kallis was the classic example of a batsman without gears.



By remember I mean I read it recently, I definitely wasn't a member on here at the time. *cough*

do i still get an infraction for saying 'third gear' ?

 

[Victor Ian]

Mitch Marsh.

Lol. That is actually perfect.

When is the next series in England. I thought it was this winter, but then I read the test championship on Australia's schedule - which has since been cancelled. Imagine Marsh going 350 odd runs without being dismissed and becoming hard arse.

I'm actually interested to see what the rating of this pitch will be, where 1258 runs were scored for the loss of 25 wickets...

I already know you love my old posts, it's okay.

Prince EWS. I don't post much but I do read a lot and I doubt there's a better poster on this forum. The post he made about how he fell in love with cricket in a recent thread is the single best post I've seen on any forum, ever.

Not for ages, actually. It's after the next WC.

ah, come on! SA would have cruised to a draw on this pitch and so would Pakistan. I think people are influencing a mentally dead England folding in the last day as a indicator of what is usual. Australia would and should have been gutted if they lost here. There are no demons in this pitch.

Their biggest challenge was the mental pressure that teams put themselves under... So points for not succumbing to that
