Nothing stat. India’s bowling to a line up where you only have to pitch the thing up to get them out. That’s the weakness, you bowl to it. You don’t keep bowling full when there’s nothing doing to blokes who live on their front foot, any more than you bowl four bouncers an over to Viv Richards.
Nah, beating Australia in Australia is the most prestigious prize in world cricket and always will be. Beating England or South Africa is fun but beating Australia is the stuff of legend.
kohli's behaviour is virtually indistinguishable from pretty much every great australian player in my lifetime. compare him to ponting, who kohli takes after to a startling degree
No way. Nobody is going to care about all the surrounding circumstances. This is the Big One.
it's still a better idea to bowl in a place bringing three different modes of dismissal into play than hoping than pujara will mess up his back foot defence for once
They definitely are. It's been a huge discussion point for half a year. You might not care, and that's fine.
not necessarily. tbh I think the outside off/short of a length plan has worked pretty well. Attacking the stumps a lot more wouldn't have led to better results IMO.
Well obviously we're not gonna boo our own players quite as often, but we definitely have in the past. Mark Waugh got booed after the bookie scandal, Warner may cop a bit upon return
*unless your name is Dennis ****ing Lillee
in what observable sense has it "worked well" in this test match
well yeah but then it's not his behaviour that they're booing is it
They're going at 3rpo and have only racked up 420 instead of 600.
We're talking about the series. I think a consistently straighter/fuller line could have been less effective and given away more runs.
What do you consider behavior to mean? Cheating and match fixing counts imo
debatable
..........kohli was match fixing?
