*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Starfighter]

This is the difference between regular spuds and someone like Smith. The ability to not do stupid **** like that.

 

[stephen]

Honestly, he's not turning the ball, get to the pitch of the ball and hit it through the line.

 

[Burgey]

Pick 4 seam attack on a juicy pitch and spend all these overs bowling the part time spinners. Trying to buy a wicket?

Waiting for Kohli to cop as much **** for doing it as Ponting has over the years.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Heh. Vihari might be the test version of what Kedar is in LoIs

 

[91Jmay]

2 wickets to a bobbins part time spinner. Aus should be 300/3 here. Still should post a decent total but a weakish effort none the less.

 

[Starfighter]

He's cut it from off stump. That's really bad, it's not like we're going for quick runs for a declaration.

 

[stephen]

None of these Aussie batsmen seem to realize that you can use your feet to get to the pitch of the ball when a spinner is bowling and the ball isn't turning.

Trying to make up for the over rate too I imagine. Such a dumb**** strategy...if you don't have four gun seamers ready to go, do not pick them all! One has an off day and you're forced to make up time by bowling irregulars.

 

[_Ed_]

Classy 50.

TBF the Harris dismissal was plain flukish. Didn't play a terrible shot, just got one that hit a big crack and got done by uneven bounce.

Marsh though....

It's so frustrating, he was set and we just needed him to see out the day.

True, Khawaja/Handscombe dismissals were dismal as well though.

It seems like no-one is taught to do this these days. The wide T20 stances don't help. So frustrating.

 

[cnerd123]

Good innings from Head. He's been really good this series.

If we can nip him out with the new-ball before the close of play we'll be ahead.

 

[Zinzan]

I've only seen a few overs between the gym and coming back, but this Vihari looks decent to me. Why's everyone piling in on him so much?

 

[social]

Shaun Marsh

Incredible talent but no brain and 35

Maxi has same talent level, a great fielder, younger but can’t get a game

Very wrong

 

[GotSpin]

Put that **** away Paine. Jesus mate

 

[Starfighter]

That scorecard looks like a less bad version of last match. Starts but no-one getting to three figures.

 

[Shri]

Vihari averages 23.5 in aus. Best off spinner ever?

 

[Zinzan]

Head striking at 71 when no one else has cracked 50 all innings. Impressive.
