*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Senile Sentry]

Has also exposed the soft underbelly of Aussie bowling attack. Seems like without the cushion of runs at home they wilt under pressure. Puts into perspective a lot of thing.

Dhoni is a far superior keeper to Pant though. Pant is pretty ordinary with the gloves tbh.

Dhoni was better but he wasn't Saha or anything. Used to drop his fair share of catches off the spinners in the 2011-13 period especially at home.

While I'm busy ranting, why the he'll did we prepare a road for Sydney? Should have prepared a green seamer. Give us a better shot at a result.

Yo, apropos of nothing but do people like Mark Waugh?

His book was ****ing awful.

And play right into Indian hands. They have a history of winning on green tops with this attack

you say that as if the curators have any idea what they're doing

That’s not half as long as their history of getting shot out on them though.

Regardless, Australia need the result, and better to have a surface where there’s more chance of a win even if there’s also more chance of a defeat.

All there seems like a chance of today is Josh Hazlewood’s knees giving up...

 

[Senile Sentry]

Sydney being spinner friendly must be one of the laughable claims going around. It is anything but. India has made a glaring mistake by going in with two but the strong batting performance might negate it's impact.

"With this attack"

 

[Senile Sentry]

500 up.. :slow claps:

 

[Neil Pickup]

"With this attack"

You mean with two seamers?

Or in the 4-1 defeat in England this summer?

Quite right.

One recalls all the great attacks throughout history who performed well when their batsmen were getting rolled cheaply.

That’s right, there aren’t any. Junk posting.

Also good to see Gavin Robertson in the crowd still sucking up to Steve Waugh over 20 years after the latter got him picked for a tour of India.

Who the hell cares. Australia needs the win, India doesn't. Preparing a 500+ run road here is literally the worst kind of pitch they could have prepared for Australia.

When's the last time that happened at SCG? I literally cannot remember.

Nope 3.

Eng could be easily been the other way around with a bit of toss luck.

 

[stephen]

You just know that every single half chance is going to go to hand when Australia is batting. Now that India is batting they all hit the gaps.

 

[Spark]

When's the last time that happened at SCG? I literally cannot remember.

the pitch in 2013 was pretty seam-friendly. 2009 definitely was a greentop to start.

When was the last time the SCG test was a live rubber?

Indian pacers just had their greatest year in history but the results don't stack up in their favour.

excellent knock. Great stuff

Time for Jaddu to get his fifty.
