Yeah who? Don't make bold claims and not back them up

So Trent Copeland then. He'll be fresh as a daisy too, having taken a game off to commentate (which still ****ing astonishes me).

Kind of late with this post but quite a test match wasn't it. Extremely impressed with Pujara and Lyon - the latter was clearly the superior offie in the match despite an unenviable luck, while being thoroughly disappointed with the likes of Usman, Paine and Arun, who all looked promising in the UAE. Got to hand it to our bowlers, though, especially Bumrah, whose first spell on day 2 was kind of loose but gave nothing away in the second dig. What a guy. Not an easy win by any means, so imagine guys to be still slightly under the pump heading to Perth. I think Australia will take the next match, but should be fiercely competitive like the opening one. Good Cricket, although I can't imagine India having a chance in any game if Smith and Warner were playing - batting experience clearly the difference for me between the two teams

Every time he came on screen I felt like I needed a step ladder to look him in the eye.

Heh. I'd bring Bhuvi in for Rohit if its going to be green.

Drop Ashwin and play 5 quicks

I think Kohli actually would have done that if Pandya was available, without him we do need a little bit of lower order batting.

Add Ashwin's batting to Bhuvi's and its > Rohit

Aus bowling attack + Paine + Khawaja + India's 1-5.

Starc is not better than Bumrah based on current form .

Fast and bouncy. They seem to have done a good job with it.

Probably. But I'd still rather Starc partner Haze and Cummins. He's faster and is left armed and offers something different to the other two.

 

[cnerd123]

Vijay/Harris a toss up too based on current form. Might actually favour Harris. Atleast he got a couple of starts.
