*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Daemon]

Agarwal looks happy to drive anything full, don't think Australia will mind too much

This is the key partnership for India. We need Kohli out there facing a newish ball.

Did I just hear what I think I heard?

What?

What?

Only Fox watchers would get it. But Lee's back on commentary.

I hear from people that Kohli likes rusted balls

Ponting calling for some chin music and I'd agree.

Need Starc and Cummins on for that imo, Haze would serve up desserts on this pitch that Pujara could just duck easily or tuck away.

Pujara just doesn't look like getting dismissed with this white bread stuff

 

[anaksr]

Well, Vihari was far better from Rahul. He at least made sure that ball gets old.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I'm going to praise the commentary so far. Good, insightful stuff

Batsmen who have batted at 3 for Australia in Test matches since 2000, not including night-watchmen (they're bonus answers). Let me know if any of them are rogue...

It doesn't have to be from both ends though.

Yeah Rahul was the worst option. Vihari and even Vijay would have hung around. Heck even Patel would have been a less dodgy call.

 

[anaksr]

Such is the form of Rahul that even Bhuvi, Ashwin would score more than him while opening or atleast spend more time than him.

 

[anaksr]

It all comes down to selectors and I just can't see a selector going upto Virat and say 'Hey, this rahul episode and crazy team blunders have been going on for too long. You need to stop'.

 

[social]

Agarwal playing really well

 

[stephen]

Stop bowling rank half volleys you spanners.

 

[Burgey]

I like that Rishabh has scored more runs than any Australian player barring Travis Head despite not making a 50 and playing like a crazy lunatic.

Try bouncing Pujara out eventually imo, guy isn't that solid on the back foot and you might just get him caught on the crease in his usual manner. Haven't got that much to lose after all.

Yeah I don’t know why this hasn’t been tried more tbh. May as well work the gloves over even more

 

[Pup Clarke]

Agarwal playing really well

Real noticeable back and across movement he makes. Very compact

I got 16/22.

I missed some easy ones like Watson and Lehmann.
