*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

Yeah I don't feel very good about picking Kuldeep, especially in a four bowler lineup.

 

[Contra]

The bowling attack looks so much weaker without Ishant. Really wished we played 5 bowlers somehow. Big innings needed first up with this combination

Australia trolled India into thinking it spins in Sydney and all they had to sacrifice for it to work was Mitch Marsh. A genius ploy.

A stroke of selectorial brilliance. Improve our batting and weaken India's side.

It does look fragile. If (when?) it doesn’t turn and Australia bat long then a two-seamer attack could end up on its last legs sooner rather than later. However, massive toss for India to win, and an equally fragile-looking Aussie top six, makes them favourites to my eyes,

I like Marnus, but no way is he a test #3 at this stage. Depressing stuff.

This * 1000

He’s a promising young player and I hope he does well but fmd

Btw, wasn’t it only last week that the comb’s technique was declared non-test standard

 

[Tom Flint]

Got a feeling cummins is gonna take the new ball here

 

[TheJediBrah]

India win 4 toss series 3-1

Ah well, at least the Big Bash is still on

I'm accusing him of being Kilowatt-Nagraj

* I'm on my mobile, haven't seen his date joined

Yes the toss makes this selection somewhat bearable. Still Kuldeep is not the worst spinner to have in the side, has the ability to fox an inexperienced Aussie line up. Makes for an exciting last test match then xD

 

[stephen]

Top nut that.

 

[Tom Flint]

Rahul could have been out to all 5 of them balls loool

 

[stephen]

Rahul was nowhere near that.

 

[Burgey]

Rahul is bad enough these days to be opening for Australia

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Prediction:

India 5 down at lunch

 

[stephen]

Beautiful. What I expect from an Indian opener.

 

[Gnske]

That was the most slow motion edge to slip I've ever seen on TV

 

[Burgey]

I didn't even realise this had happened. It definitely beats out the blokes I listed and Marnus IMO.

I think it was on the 81 Ashes tour

 

[morgieb]

Very good start thus far.

Worst 9 of all time?

It did seem to sit up in the air forever didn't it?
