*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[stephen]

Why was there such low attendance for day 1?

No one wants to watch this **** side get pummeled.

 

[morgieb]

Why was there such low attendance for day 1?

There was still 30,000 no? That's pretty decent for Day 1 and people are starting to go back to work too. Losing Melbourne by so much can't help either.

 

[h_hurricane]

I mean we've let ****ing Jadeja score a half century. That's the height of embarrassment. Heads need to roll.

Jadeja is quite a good lower order batsman. 10 half centuries now to go with a century. The track is an absolute road though.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I have to worry if we are in the middle of a West Indies like irreversible decline. They still had some decent players individually but the whole vibe around the team was one of perennial turmoil.

 

[Neil Pickup]

If Man U did as bad as this side their coach would be fired immediately.

Six years, three coaches, not doing a great deal of good...

Nah, that was a systems, infrastructure, and administration issue. Australia will bounce back.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Jeez.. guess Jalandhar Railway Canteen would have put a better fight than this.

He's actually a good batsman now tbh. He's not the hackish slogger of 4 years ago.

Ehhh, I think the side has had phrases where they've looked mentally cooked before recovery. The side does need to change, but I wouldn't say Australia are going to become West Indies level yet.

tbf it sounds like Australia have all those same issues too

Jadeja WAFG

 

[silentstriker]

OK, India are now officially past the highest first innings Test score to ever lose a match.

 

[silentstriker]

tbf it sounds like Australia have all those same issues too

No.

 

[cnerd123]

Jaddu century before stumps please

 

[social]

This is my last day off work. I'm used to Australia not being completely **** with every aspect of the game. If Man U did as bad as this side their coach would be fired immediately.

If I was performing as badly as this Aussie side is have been given the boot. This is horrid stuff.

C’mon dude

Only a blind optimist would tip Australia this series

The batting lineup is the worst I have seen us field plus we’ve lost 3 tosses on roads and the bowlers get no rest before having to get out there again

 

[ajdude]

yeah like australia’s had a fair dip, but oh well, india were 7th at one point in 2015 weren’t they? not the end of the world, can’t win all the time. this indian team are real likable too

 

[mr_mister]

Jajeda should bat top 6

 

[Senile Sentry]

Lol Cummins.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jadeja smacking Cummins around is the most glorious sight.

 

[social]

No.

We’ve got massive problems at all levels

 

[Son Of Coco]

Cummins doesn't deserve this. He's been our best fast bowler all series with the ball.
