***Official*** India's Tour of Australia 2020/21 - General discussion

Yeah but this is why analysis by checklist can suck.

Yup. Checklist + context. Most people get that imo

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah but this is why analysis by checklist sucks.

"You did well against this team in prior series, so you can stink it up now and it won't be held against you."

It's silly but it's how most people think I suppose.

"You did well against this team in prior series, so you can stink it up now and it won't be held against you."

It's silly but it's how most people think I suppose.

People don't really think it at the time, but the longer it's been since the actual event the more it comes into play, and you better believe people who didn't really follow cricket at the time of your career will be all in on this.

Bad luck for the series but good news for them. It'd be good if they could reschedule at least one of the tests earlier and shunt the T20 series down the road.

 

[Daemon]

Wonder if Kohli will miss one of the Tests, his kid is due in Jan

If there’s quarantine requirements things could get even more messy.

Even I could see it, poor planning from the BCCI. Should've just gone with Tests first.

 

[Burner]

Isn't this the first time that they are having the one days before the tests? Sucks that the first time they had to change the order had to be this time.

 

[Gob]

He should have pulled out earlier

 

[Burgey]

Heh

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Whenever something like this occurs I always think back to the early 80's when Trevor Francis was a football manager and he infamously wouldn't even allow a player a day off from training to attend the birth of his child.

Australia Test squad of 17: Tim Paine (c), Sean Abbott, Joe Burns, Pat Cummins, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, James Pattinson, Will Pucovski, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Wade, David Warner

Green, Pucovski, and Swepson....really exciting for Australian cricket

 

[Daemon]

Burns
Warner
Smith
Labs
Pucovski (hope for our sake they go with Head instead)
Green
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Haze



We’re ****ed imo. No Kohli, fitness issues around Ishant. Most of these guys are now heading home to load up on biryani and idlis before coming to Australia undercooked while the Australians play a couple more shield rounds.

What has head done wrong to get dropped for puc before burns?

What has head done wrong to get dropped for puc before burns?

Burns opens, the other two don't right?

 

[Daemon]

Oh Puc is an opener

Swap him for Burns then and I guess Head plays

 

[Nintendo]

Burns opens, the other two don't right?

Pucovski openedd this shield season and made 2 doubles in 3 innings?

 

[howardj]

Burns opens, the other two don't right?

Pucovski has opened so far in the Shield this Summer with stunning effectiveness (two double hundreds)

 

[Daemon]

Too slow noobs
