***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[CricAddict]

Poor Indian bowlers.They are having to bowl at Bradman.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gah, we need Smith to get himself out again.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Assuming Smith bats twice in this test he'll play his 100th test innings, and needs 102 runs for the match to have the best average for someone after 100 innings. Incidentally can also have the most runs after 100 innings if he scores 232 runs in the test, though that seems a fair bit less likely.

That second ball wasn't a bad ball at all, he's just bowling to someone who's seeing them like watermelons

You mean the first ball right? Second was a wide gimme.

 

[harsh.ag]

Smith you wacko oddball ugly manchild

They were both wide, but the second one was no half-volley.

 

[Contra]

India don't seem to have a set plan, it's like they're trying every mode of dismissal to get him out, like lets see if he edges a wide one, or maybe he top edges a short ball. Honestly just bowl tight and try to block those runs. All over the place at the moment. Also Rahane needs to attack just a bit less imo.

 

[Zinzan]

Damn missed the first 30 mins or so, looks like she's been full of action.

Yeah changing it up too much. No idea why they went away from the conventional over the wicket outside off stump plan. He didn't look comfortable at all.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Man, plenty of bounce.

 

[Contra]

Bring in Ashwin next over plz against Warner.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Immediately looks so much better from over the wicket. How surprising.

Good chance of getting that 232 this innings if Yadav bowls many more overs at him

 

[Prince EWS]

Hayden assuming Ishant is injured, lol

 

[Zinzan]

We keep saying it, but that backdrop....

 

[OverratedSanity]

One more over from Bhuvi and then go to Ashwin imo.

 

[Gob]

First time listening to commentary in this series. Already have tinnitus

 

[OverratedSanity]

Smith is looking ridiculously ominous.

 

[Prince EWS]

Smith looks like he's going to score a thousand here.

 

[Spark]

Smith looks terrifying. Why did they feed him all those singles and twos on the onside early on?
