Just tuned in to watch todays play, looks like the match doesn,t have first-class status which is disappointing.

Nah it does.

It does from what I've heard

Okay, just went to the Cricinfo live scores and clicked on and it doesn,t give the live career records during the match that it normally does for a first-class match.
They just have now updated this. Must have forgotten.

Yeah Cricinfo seems unsure but it's a First Class game for sure. They'd have allowed the 12th/13th men who are at the ground play if not.

Green going for 9 runs off 8 overs. India will be lucky to score 200 by the end of the day at this rate.

cricket.com.au have Kuldeep down to come in at 6

They can never be relied upon to list the batting order in a resonable way in the first innings. Sometimes it's just alphabetical until each batsman comes in.

But weirdly enough cricinfo actually has him listed there too, and aside from that both orders actually do look right. Maybe that's just where Rahane listed him on the team sheet at the toss lol.

 

[Daemon]

Well he does have an FC hundred..

 

[Daemon]

Then again so does the other Yadav

Kerry OKeefe just said he has Starc in his top 3 Aus quicks of all time with McGrath and Lillee. Jeepers

Yeah that really surprised me.

Steketee looks a looonnng way from Test standard against these two. He's probably only about tenth in line but the gap between him and Bird/Neser is really evident against Test bats. What's been the most interesting thing is that Green has looked much closer to Bird standard than Steketee standard. Not bad for a someone who bats four.

Head's captaincy for that Pujara wicket

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hmmm, interested to see if they target Pujara's back foot game in the tests, was surprised how little they seemed to do it last time

Yeah when watching him bowl today he's clearly a class below the other bowlers out there. Gap between our best 7/8 seamers and the rest looking quite large. So many of them are kinda old too.....

It seems a very particular problem with those balls aimed at the left armpit or just below that he instinctively wants to flick but the extra bounce makes that risky. He left a similar ball just before but looked really awkward in doing so. Takes a pretty good bowler, with both hostility and accuracy, to target it though.

That says a lot more about O'Keeffe tbh. One of those folks who knows less than they think they do. I remember when he said that the problem with Maxwell's bowling compared to Head's was that Maxwell didn't flight the ball enough.

 

[Nintendo]

That saha lbw was shocking, foot outside the line.

 

[Spark]

Haha what an absurd decision that was

 

[Starfighter]

Not even sure that was striking in line, let alone pitching.

So this coverage is by Fox? I thought the graphics were different for their international games?
