*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[M0rphin3]

Diabolical from Aus.

IMO India should just bat out and totally crush em. This is terrible. I don't think Oz even stand a chance of even drawing this.

The Indians have learned to downhill ski just as well as the Aussies back in the day. Pant & Jaddu are crushing them. Honestly never thought I was ever gonna see an Indian Test series win down under during my lifetime. Next thing South Africa are going to be winning world cups.

Lyon finally understanding what it's like to bowl in Australia when the pacers in your team are bowling rubbish. He's bowled all right but still only has 3-180. It's what happens to finger spinners here when you have no one to build pressure at the other end.

Because that is such a bullshit excuse. It may be a fair excuse, but it highlights the cruelty of test cricket in that a toss can make so much difference.

If any player is tired before a ball is bowled they're welcome to give another bloke their place.

 

[jimmy101]

Geez, that shot played off that slower ball.. wtf?

 

[mr_mister]

At what point to the Indian selectors have to tap dhoni on the shoulder lol

It's why I'm such a big advocate for selecting 5 bowlers in the XI for a Test series that is 3 or more matches long. Not enough recovery time between games in the modern schedule, and most teams don't have the depth to be changing the attack around game to game. Get someone who can bowl 15 tight overs a day who can also bat in your Top 6, and it goes a long way to preventing exhaustion.

This is an exhibition from Pant. What an innings. 200 run partnership up too lmao.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is some stroke play.

Lame.

I'm rooting for that to happen partially. There needs to be a reckoning.

 

[OverratedSanity]

A 200 run partnership between Rishabh Pant and Ravindra ****ing Jadeja in Australia against Cummins-Hazelwood-Starc-Lyon. Can someone engrave that on a plaque.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Aw I wanted a jaddu ton

 

[cnerd123]

Aww no century for Jaddu. Fun innings tho. Lyon's bowled decently today, deserved that. Just sucks to be a finger spinner in Australia, especially without a good pace attack to back you up.

Guess we won't see Kuldeep bat.

Excellent innings from Pant too.

 

[Shri]

Ffs. Shoulda let Pant get his double.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Should not have declared. should have got as close to 700 as possible. There's plenty of time to bowl them out twice.

 

[stephen]

So India have declared two tests in a row in the first innings. Either we have the most overrated bowling attack in the world, the pitches are the biggest roads or the coach is horrid and needs to be sacked. Or maybe some combination of the three.

 

[the big bambino]

Amusing reading this morning.... some very triggered Aussies on here.

Funny thing is you never know when you go from enjoying the joke to becoming one. The WI provided us with a template for terminal decline that I think Australia are exhibiting. Symptoms shown by SA too. You don’t know for sure which teams have the resilience to come back. I’m hoping Australia can as long we get our administration right. I don’t want to be seen advocating wholesale sackings but I think the purge of those involved in the direction of Australian cricket the last 5 or so years needs to continue.

Or Pujara is a God and India bat well around him.

 

[stephen]

Bets on how many wickets will fall before stumps?

I'm thinking 3.
