Wonder if Travis Head May bowl some overs later in the day to ease the workload

 

[Starfighter]

Starc is getting pretty meh now.

nah he’s been banned from bowling because his stock offbreak exceeded the limit of genuine pus allowed

 

[GoodAreasShane]

That's more like it Mitch

Nicely done from me.

 

[Gnske]

That is not elite batting, just cracked.

 

[morgieb]

Nice. Good recovery from Starc in that over.

 

[Starfighter]

Now I'm nervous. How the **** do we dislodge this guy when he's been scoring in much harder conditions in SA and England?

 

[wrongun]

Starcy! Let’s get them bundled out for 124....Kohli is there for the taking....elite bowling I reckon

 

[Woodster]

Typical Starc, probably wasted four balls of the over then produced one in a decent area with a hint of swing and bob’s your uncle, job done.

Now for the prize wicket! Virat in against a ball just seven overs old.

Simple....get him early with a far better pace attack. Get him driving.

 

[Burgey]

Vijay: c. Scared b Starc

Honestly, this top order aint doing much to overcome my long proven and much cited belief that Indian batsmen are utterly incapable of playing something which bounces over waist height. It's embarrassing, and utterly Beta.

 

[stephen]

Get them driving early and you'll generally get wickets if the ball is moving.

Get everyone else out

We aren't better than England in England or SA in SA.

So so loose

The fact they need to play at these balls just tells you they aren't confident in their defence. Trying to drive at something that isn't there, and not even fully committing to it. Like a last minute decision to show #intent when they realise this might be remotely hittable. Awful test batting.

Kohli better ton up or we're doomed.

 

[morgieb]

Can someone tell me why Howard has become a thing?

You're joking if you don't think he shook him up with the short one the ball before. Embarrassing from an opening batsman at test level.

Anyway, these are India's two best players, so the game pretty much starts right now.

 

[Spark]

maybe it is our eyes, the wicket table either side of the centre wicket is obviously a brighter green than everything else so maybe that’s playing tricks on us

The contrast is simply too high. Image needs to be flattened out on that camera.

He could ton up and you may still be doomed....would love to see India go 4 down early and get Sharma against such pace
