2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

[Gnske]

i mean the real problem here is still wade's shot. great batsmen can get out on 0 to a good ball with a well placed field, the key is to not expose them unnecessarily early with a **** shot

It's not like protecting Henry Nicholls or something man, Smith is more than qualified usually to deal with this sort of filth.

 

[aussie tragic]

Isn't Smith still suffering from minor back problems. I'm thinking if he can't bat because he 'lost his hands' then this back issue must be weighing on his mind

 

[Salamuddin]

Burgey sweetie must be pleased that Chennai lad Ashwin is doing well !

 

[stephen]

don’t see what this has to do with Ashwin. And now he almost gets Head and follows up with a lovely curl. He’s bowling aces atm

It has nothing to do with Ashwin, though the extra grass is what's making him look good. The two thoughts were in separate paragraphs.

 

[Pratters]

Was a good call to bowl Ashwin ahead of Siraj. Kept the pressure and momentum going .

 

[Shri]

happy with the 3 quick wickets but paine is their best bat

Missing out on Siraj will be Smith's biggest regret about his innings.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Well done to Rahane for bringing on an offie inside ten overs of the first morning of a Test in Australia. Even better that it actually worked

 

[stephen]

India appealing for caught spin.

 

[mr_mister]

Ashwin back on track for Murali's record

 

[Daemon]

Missed everything surely

 

[Gnske]

The only good quick single of the year. Completely justified.

 

[stephen]

Fmd, spin from both ends within 20 overs at the MCG on day 1 is peak 2020.

Probably would get out to Jadeja before that

It's turning too

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Jadeja now. Once again, that doesn't exactly suggest any great faith in Siraj as much as anything

 

[stephen]

Siraj obviously picked as a specialist batsman.

 

[Pratters]

Siraj obviously picked as a specialist batsman.

More because he looks good and adds to the *** appeal of the team.

 

[Burgey]

Surprised Jadeja is 32. One of those blokes I thought was loads younger tbh

 

[trundler]

Reverse swing specialist
