*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

Got a feeling Kohli's going to go big this Test. You heard it first.

Nah Cummins to bag him first ball.

 

[Spark]

Cummins should give lessons to finch on how to play middle stump half volleys

 

[Spark]

well that could have been very embarrassing if that had gone straight to the fielder, who almost certainly never saw it

Tbf Cummins has a better technique than half our top order.

 

[Daemon]

I'm starting to think Bhuvi wasn't looking too good in the nets. Maybe it's because of the injury or the Kookaburra but surely we wouldn't have just gone 'lol lets go with the worst possible combination of the 5 or so we have'

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Good time to pull it when the fielder can’t see the ball.

 

[Spark]

Is shami injured? No reason to take him off when he'd just bowled a great over. Umesh has never been great with the new ball.

match fitness is a legit consideration, especially in this heat

Finch's strength on middle and leg in white-ball cricket is his weakness at test level.

 

[Starfighter]

That's good keeping.

Australia's day if these two see it to close for no wickets

They really should get to 320 from here quite easily.

Pat Cummins is a fictional construct made up of all the most beautiful cricketing components. Gorgeous square drives, delicious on drives, classy metronomic short of a length bowling and brilliant fielding all in one player.

 

[Zinzan]

Yup Australia will be disappointed not to get another 43 runs.

Don't forget the Clark Kent jawline

Don't forget the Clark Kent jawline

And dreamy blue eyes. Though I think I find him more appealing than my wife does.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

It's sickening how they're trying to make this out as a good day's work.

 

[cnerd123]

Kinda wasting the new ball here again too. Lots of short stuff, wide deliveries, and now full tosses too.

Good last ball, but underwhelming.

Australia's day. Threw away lots of wickets, but it seems they've had the best of the batting conditions and India weren't good enough.

 

[Zinzan]

It's sickening how they're trying to make this out as a good day's work.

Why when it's clearly an up and down wicket already & likely to get only more unpredictable? Assuming you've been watching.

 

[GotSpin]

India missed out today. Gave some easy runs away this morning but Australia fought back with some easy wickets of their own.

Must bowl really full otherwise you just Hilfenhaus the batsmen all the time

 

[stephen]

Australia fractionally ahead at this stage.

 

[morgieb]

A weird day in that Australia probably are in the better situation but they could easily have done much better. Think 350 is attainable from here and I think on this wicket 350 has us as clear favourites.
