*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Spark]

Agarwal gets completely squared up again but manages to get bat on it - > Clarke: "That's very solid and compact".

he's quite the sycophant as far as commentary goes

Off putting bogan accent too.

Martian Manhunter being thrashed out of this world.

You don't actually have to point out the lameness.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Love these MCG pitches. Wish we had more Marsh brothers to put in our side

 

[Tangles]

Mmarsh sporting what looks like a double chin and a neck beard. Too many pies and pudding yesterday.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Not too worried about the road'ness of the pitch if we can get 400 on board.

 

[trundler]

We've been spoiled with exceptional variety of pitches this year haven't we? Plus pitches have generally been sporting with plenty of spice.

 

[trundler]

Takes balls to do that on dayboo. Nice.

 

[Arachnodouche]

What did Cummins do to his hair? From Keith Miller to Daniel Craig

 

[OverratedSanity]

The carry hasn't been too bad on this pitch atleast from slightly short of a length, right? Literally zero sideways movement though, which is disappointing.

Edit: lol a short ball just died right when I posted this

Yeah sounds right

 

[Burgey]

Happy I’m at Rose Bay doggo beach with the pooches rather than watching this dirge. You o ow it’s a featherbed if an Indian opener who gets badges in the first session can settle down and make a 50 on it.

 

[Black_Warrior]

it seems more like a "don't be a bowler" pitch

Been hearing this all morning and I was thinking of how often commentators repeat the boring "let both sides bat first" but then I realized they only do that after pushing forward a certain narrative of the pitch on Day 1 and then when it falls apart later, they bring up the 'let both sides bat'

 

[trundler]

Feels like a Dubai pitch

 

[Daemon]

Poojara average back above 50. Only 0.35 away from Root with 1 more hundred.

 

[Burgey]

Melbourne once again proving itself to be the boring capital of the world.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Welp that's some dodgy bounce for day 1. Dangerous area on the pitch too.

What'd I miss?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Excellent from Cummins. As I said, atleast there's something there when you bend your back.

 

[trundler]

Finally. Cummins **** yeah. A gift from god he is.
