*Official* Australia Tour of India 2019

[TheJediBrah]

Handscomb in the T20 side makes no sense. Wade would be a far superior batsman and keeper. Just weird stuff.

I reckon he should float. Has the pads on to bat four, but if there's a decent start he goes in at three. If they lose two quick wickets and it's hooping, he gets held back. Obviously, if they're chasing a big target, he would go in as early as possible.

Yeah this seems like common sense. Especially if they insist on picking blokes like Khawaja and Smarsh in the top 4.

Needs a week in Fiji to unwind ahead of the WC

Should hit the Natadola Bay course

 

[mr_mister]

Seems like to complex a plan for Langer

He can't really keep him at 7 after that but he really thinks Maxi is only good for biffing it over the fence in the final five overs

Good stuff from Maxi last night. Belted the absolute cover off of the ball. Looking forward to watching highlights of his dig.

 

[Starfighter]

Maxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

That is all.

 

[the big bambino]

I hope the bloke at the other end used his hands to applaud and not to comb.

 

[Daemon]

Maxwell hitting form very timely it must be said. Hopefully he’s exhausted it by June.

 

[Burgey]

He's just warming up.

 

[TheJediBrah]

He needs to save some runs for the pre-Ashes Aus A tour to force himself into the Ashes XI

 

[Contra]

India's bowling options are terrible lol. Like are they taking turns resting? When Bhuvi plays Shammi is not there, when Shammi plays Bhuvi is rested. Need to give Ishant a go in limited overs, I genuinely think he's improved as a bowler overall.

 

[Burgey]

At best Maxi would make the Ashes squad, don't know who he would replace in teh starting XI, given his batting position at that level is five or six. Head is nailed on to start the Ashes (as he should be), and KPat has looked the most technically adept test player we've had all summer. Smith will walk back in at four and the Pillow will start at three. I suppose they could drop the Pillow, move KPat to three and have Maxi at six (I wouldn't be opposed to this btw) but I can't see that happening until the Pillow has ****ed up enough to ensure the Ashes are lost.

Complacency kills

Watching highlights. **** that was a good catch by Jhye.

Kohli is batting too low.

That ****** should open the batting

 

[Spark]

Ridiculous by Maxwell.

Makes no sense for Kohli to not bat in the top 3 does it

 

[Burner]

Makes no sense for Kohli to not bat in the top 3 does it

He is batting at 3. Should be opening though.

 

[vcs]

Maxwell-Handscomb partnership was brilliant, risk-free batting. Apart from Kaul, I thought India didn't bowl all that badly.

 

[Arachnodouche]

That penultimate ball six was something, to scoop a near yorker like that straight over the bowler's head.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Also thought headbands would go out of fashion after Chris Martin and Ashok Dinda but Kaul's thinking otherwise.
