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

[Nintendo]

From what I've seen so far Shaw is a walking wicket in tests. Will be funny seeing him bat if he plays. Gill seems ok although he's hardly batted this match

Edit - Kl Rahul and Agarwal are the default openers I think

Did you see Rahul last time he toured here? He's just as much a walking wicket as shaw is.

 

[aussie tragic]

In order of likelihood

Pujara, Rahane
Yadav
Vihari
Saha
Ashwin
Gill
Shaw

More likely than not the last 3-4 don't start though.

Well Ashwin will definitely play given Jadega has a hamstring injury

I would like to see Oz continue to think Rahul is a walking wicket. Will be so much more fun given his improvements with the bat.

This is the side India will most likely play at Adelaide:

Mayank
Rahul
Pujara
Virat
Rahane
Vihari
Pant
Ashwin (Jaddu, if he is fit)
Umesh
Shami
Bumrah


Pretty sure only 5 from this side will play in the tests, and even that is a big if with Jaddu's fitness. If Jaddu is fully fit, he will play ahead of Ash.

So who is keeping exactly? If its not Rahul upfront but Pant, I'm confused why he isn't getting game time here for his keeping and incredibly reliable batting that is never reckless nor hackfraudish.

He's got a neck strain apparently.

Pant is the greatest keeper in border gavaskar trophy history ok so shut up

Skittled out by Steketee

 

[Gnske]

How good is Mark Steketee. You have to be really good to be as good as him.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Collapsing to a guy whos name seems pulled out of a bad tongue twister made by a 7 year old. Shameful.

 

[Burgey]

I didn’t see his dismissal but Vihari looked pretty compact as in decent touch from what I saw this game. He seems suited to the decks out here to me, not that I’ve seen much of him since the last tour

 

[honestbharani]

He is a better player than he seems to be. Make of that, what you will.

 

[aussie tragic]

This game would be over by now if Green was allowed to bowl more than 4 overs.

India's gonna get smashed

Hope Hardik has a big series with the bat and that Jaddu is fit and firing for the first Test.

Hopefully Siraj finds his feet at this level quickly too, but I doubt it.

 

[Nintendo]

Why on earth did head bring himself on when India have 1 wicket left in hand? Where letting this game drag to a point where we can't win.

 

[trundler]

You'd imagine a net bowler would be easier to dismiss

 

[Burgey]

Jaddu is fit and firing

hard to know. No one has had concussion of the hamstring before. It could be tricky

Wouldn't be surprised if literally none of the players you mentioned actually played.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

A declaration. Right.

 

[DriveClub]

That's one way to finish on a high note

 

[aussie tragic]

Maddinson better be batting 3
