I couldn’t watch last night. Just woke up. WHAT!?!?!?

 

[Uppercut]

2.5 more hours. So ****ing excited.

Oh no. I thought it would be fun to read through the day’s play, but I’m one page in and it’s already too dark for a Saturday morning.

Watch the Indian innings in full. One, it won’t take long but more importantly from your POV as a fast bowling fan, you’ll do loads over the bowling. It was ridiculous. Maybe two poor shots, the rest just undone by ridiculous bowling. Was that and bad luck to basically edge everything. Was crazy

 

[Prince EWS]

Watto scored more himself than the entire Indian innings, and he still said that.

 

[Bijed]

That has to be the weirdest run-out of all-time.

Similar-ish thing happened to Clarke 2nd innings at the Oval in 2009, although in that case there was literally 1 frame in it as to whether he'd got back or not IIRC

sounds like the Broad 8-15 innings

My wife made an excellent point over lunch today. Kohli shouldn't have been captain for the series if he was to not play after test #1.

 

[Pratters]

The broadcasters who paid so much money for the rights would be pissed.. first kohli goes, now the test finishes in 3 days. How long will they last in Perth? FFS.

i'm going through it now and it's actually oddly monotonous; every second post is a variation on "oh my god" or "what the ****"

 

[Pratters]

I remember the 1999 series where we lost 3-0. By the end of that tour Gavaskar said the team lacked talent and many players who played in that test series hardly ever played for India again..

 

[Pup Clarke]

I'm never going to get my head around how Prithvi Shaw played this test match

 

[Daemon]

Was that Paine's first motm? Seriously well deserved, good for him.

They put trust in their seasoned 53 year old batsman.

It got harder and harder to say anything else once you realised the collapse wasn't going to be stopped.

Just watched it. loads were done.

0 days. Coz we r not playing there

 

[Pratters]

When India crumbles it is because of great bowling while when Australia crumbles it is because of poor batting.. sure sure

 

[Pratters]

Yeah, excellent

 

[Pratters]

Wonder how many of this XI will last till the 4th test. Kohli, Shaw and Shami already gone, looks like.
