I'm sorry this is the Australia/India thread. I think you're looking for the latest Hong Kong and/or Bangladesh tour threads.

it's not, apparently there were other racist taunts though, which I can tell you as a regular MCG attendee, is undoubtedly true

theoretically the result has nothing to do with the pitch rating. It's entirely down to how the pitch behaves. The Perth game could have been 500 vs 500 or 80 vs 80, if it behaved the same way it would get the same rating.

It's just that the ICC ratings for pitches tend to have batting friendly = good, unless batting friendly = absolutely nothing for the bowlers. And this has enough in it for the bowlers to stay interested.

So soon all the SA pitches will be banned from international cricket....

When it comes to cricket 'wanked'is a moniker of respect for your cricketing abilities. Kohl should be proud to be the new wanked.

Sounds like a great little counter-punch from Cummins, & I can see why Indian fans might be a tad miffed about the 2nd innings collapse, but seriously, Australia are not chasing down 380+ batting last with this line-up, even if India do lose their last 5 wickets for <30 runs.

"Hadlee's a wanker" was like the cricketing national anthem for Australian crowds in the mid-80s.

Nothing new there.

You don't sit near bay 13 unless you want to experience drunken yobbo 'banter'. That's why we have the northern stand.

Kohli acknowledged the mark of respect shown by the crowd by even joining in with the intervening clapping between the chants.

Thank heavens some of that Indian shot selection today wasn't in the first innings.

What's the bet this Australian batting is generally unchanged for the SL series?

Brainless, cowardly captaincy from Virat. Why would you not enforce the follow on when your bowlers have bowled for less then a day and have Australia by the throat. You could have pretty match wrapped it up in the day and inflicted a humiliating, crushing innings defeat. What does batting again achieve, especially with the possibility of rain around the corner?
I would consider it a horrendous decision even if India hadn't lost 5 wickets in a session.

It would be absolutely hilarious if rain somehow saved this feeble Australian side now. It would serve Virat right, anyway.:laugh:
