”This attack” doesn’t have three seamers in it, and given the Kohli/Shastri selection track record, picking two spinners on a green top isn’t unprecedented.

No argument that the England series was more competitive than the scoreline indicated but it doesn’t do anything to undermine the point that wickets with assistance for seamers are your best chance of beating India.

As a neutral, I’d have liked to see how the MCG and SCG tests would have panned out had Australia batted first.

Jesus, Usman...

Agreed, going Spin / Flat pitches is basically suicide against this side - obviously with the bowling attack they are capable of competing as well as anyone on green pitches too - but at least you can expose the batting.

This is absolute filth. Love it. It’s like what I would bowl now, rising 50 with dud shoulders and knees.

I coulda been a contender

Did he?

Doesn't make it better that Khawaja is bowling now lol. Head's bowled just 5 overs all series. Quite a fall from grace.

Tho tbf those uzzie lobs could actually buy a wicket here.

tbf, this is probably as much as head should be bowling. smith's weirdo fetish with his bowling was an outlier

Yep

Just about the best groundsman in Sydney is at North Sydney Oval

He learned his trade at the SCG under Athol Watkins but is not the easiest guy to get on with

yeah north sydney's problem is principally the size of the oval itself

Good to see Pant bring up his hundred. He seems like a decent bloke, even if his name is a singular/plural error.

The FC groundsman roundabout is second only to the Marsh brothers selection roundabout as the most perplexing in Australian cricket.

India should play the whole day today and until lunch tomorrow imo. Make sure Australia never prepares a pitch like this again.
