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

[morgieb]

Stoinis is already injured though? So who opens? Labu?

The only other bat in the squad is Wade, so I guess probably him.

 

[Spikey]

wade filled in as opener in the england tour when Warner missed a T20. it'll be him

 

[honestbharani]

Hopefully we can at least do better with him opening.

 

[the big bambino]

Most likely will which is why Aus has to win tonight.

 

[honestbharani]

He has made test 100s right? You are underselling him a bit as a bat?

 

[Daemon]

9 overs so far from Starc and Maxwell for 75 runs, good from India to not let the 5/6th bowlers get away with things

 

[Spark]

He makes Test 100s and ****-all in between. Has four hundreds in 30-odd games which isn't too bad, but an average of 31 is.

 

[honestbharani]

There is a match thread, Daemon.

He's fine and deserves his spot in the test team after batting well on tough pitches in the shield. I suspect he had to overcome an bias against him as well. In odis our batting works with such a solid top 4. Wade as a replacement at the top is a fair step down in class, though I still do like him.

 

[honestbharani]

Fair enough. I just hope we can get a wicket in the ****ing powerplay for once.

Wade probably earned a shot at an ODI spot more than he did a test spot tbh. He's spent the last few years belting around ODD bowlers for fun. Still, he's a class or three below Warner as an ODI opener.

 

[TheJediBrah]

A lot of underrating Wade as a white ball batsman here. He's a completely different player in the last 2 years. I'm very comfortable with him opening alongside Finch.

 

[Gob]

Any updates on Davey Warner's groin, gnske?

 

[Gnske]

Arrived at the hospital but was kept waiting 5 minutes because SBW was getting his checked.

No god bless him, god give David Warner strength to overcome this injury.

 

[stephen]

So apparently Smith suffered vertigo before the match.

Probably explains why he's spent so little time in the middle the last couple of matches. Barely ten overs in each match.

 

[Nintendo]

If warner is out, wouldn't mind seeing

1.Finch
2.Carey
3.Smith
4.Marnus
5.Green
6.Moiso
7.Maxwell

As the batting order.

Underrated

In all seriousness that is actually mildly concerning long-term given his concussion history.

Apparently it's got something to do with crystals forming in your inner ear.

Yeah they get dislodged and get loose in the inner ear canals. Apparently it's a common problem following head injuries.
