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

[TT Boy]

Paine should open up

Remember when he did that in ODIs? The anti-hitter.

 

[Burgey]

The thing I don't get about the Pujara nickname fiasco, is why wouldn't you just call him "Chet". Easier to say than Steve and it's actually his ****ing name

An appalling episode all round

 

[Pratters]

Why has Bumrah bowled so many overs? Kohli hasn't learnt from how Tendulkar destroyed Srinath by over bowling him, has he? FFS.

Paine on 69

Paine batting like an Australian captain. The hero we need, not the one we deserve.

 

[trundler]

You didn’t watch last summer or the 2019 Ashes then

Yeah ok confirmation bias on my part. Haze swung it miles in the Ashes.

Stopped working as well when Mendis basically forgot how to bowl off breaks, but all the same.

Mendis happened during a time when I'd basically stopped following cricket. He looked like he was gonna be one of the best bowlers ever for a while there, what actually happened to him? Did people just figure him out?

 

[Gnske]

A Tim Paine century is the only thing that can save the summer after this disastrous first act

 

[DriveClub]

TPain might just wipe out the deficit

 

[mr_mister]

Who cares man live in the present

I remember thinking he was pretty much gonna take up where Gilly left off and be our mainstay keeper for the 2010s after that knock

Got there eventually

Paine on 69

And now moves quickly out of that awkward position

Remember when he did that in ODIs? The anti-hitter.

He was a Big Bash opener for a while, and did pretty well

Paine on 69

If he makes a ton here I'll let him

He definitely became easier to play once coaches and batsmen had time to look into what he actually bowled, but he also just started bowling complete trash. He lost his stock ball which was the end really.

 

[Gnske]

Haze you utter mong

 

[Pothas]

Game in an absolutely perfect position here.

Sehwag started playing him as you would a medium pacer instead of a spinner. And then everyone else did soon after.

 

[mr_mister]

Is Shaw gonna blast or play patient

 

[stephen]

Another ****ing India test in which the Australian bowlers haven't had a full day off between innings.

****ing learn to bat Australian top order.

 

[Burgey]

TPain might just wipe out the deficit

what the hell is wrong with you?
