1st Test, Aus vs India, Adelaide oval 17th-21st December

[aussie tragic]

2 catches falling short of slips already. Just like the last A game. Is it the pink ball?

 

[Kirkut]

Pujara 2 off 20 balls, sick of watching him bat already. Is there a more boring batsman in Tests?

Tendulkars and Laxmans are hard to manufacture. He's the best we have.

 

[cnerd123]

I wonder when they'll learn to stand a step or two closer to Pujara? There was no shortage of this last series iirc.

soft hands are rare in modern day cricket.

Sanjay apparently has no idea that good bastmen leave on length

There comes a point where can't stand any closer.

 

[Burgey]

It's bad enough when Harsha Bhogle commentates from out here. Why the hell is he on the phone from Mumbai?

 

[Kirkut]

Cummins is yet to bowl

I like Harsha.

Come at me.

Leg slips and leg gullies are for cowards who dont know how to take wickets like real men

I think the first one they could’ve stood closer (but in fairness was the fourth ball of the innings), but that one wouldn’t have carried even if they did stand closer.

Much like finger spin

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Cummins is yet to bowl

He will be on in a couple of overs I suspect. I am definitely in the minority that actually like having him at first change myself

Four commentators at once. ****ing hell

 

[Starfighter]

I see Wade is going to be doing all the fielding.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That reach from Mayank

 

[OverratedSanity]

Encouraging from these two so far. Surprised yet again to not see more short stuff to Agarwal

 

[Kirkut]

It's like after Holding and Garner are done bowling, Marshall comes in.

 

[Starfighter]

Holder has a bit of a point.

 

[Kirkut]

Evening session will br hardest to bat.

Pujara is super edgy but it looks like it's going to be his day.
