i'm still more offended by that completely uncoordinated and unnecessary jump and skip before the catch than i was by him claiming it

he should have backflipped to the ball IMO.

and then the actual "catch" itself. catch the ****ing thing, don't flap at it like a ****ing seal

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Is it just me or is the calling from these two not the best?

From what I've seen, it seems rather uncoordinated at minimum.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Just know Enforcer Saini's gonna come on and help the run rate along.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Those ads saying, "Wish computers were more like phones?"

**** no!

 

[Spark]

not a red letter day in the field so far

 

[Starfighter]

That should have been pulled - the Indians would have - but four anyway thanks to a double misfield.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Nice to see the 70s/80s spirit in the field

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well this fielding display doesnt bode well.

 

[Daemon]

I mean we were kinda dicked the moment Umesh limped off injured. Already lost Kohli to paternity leave and Ishant and Shami to injury. No Dhawan as backup opener to cover for Agarwal and Shaw. We've got a debutant and two players in their 2nd test playing right now. Drawing the series from here would be an incredible feat.

Dropping 2 catches in 10 minutes after a strong start with the ball in batting friendly conditions does not help

Putting Dhawan in Australia down as a loss is pushing it bro

 

[cnerd123]

this is also why a good 'keeper is so important - they set the tone on the field

2 dropped catches and now our fielding get's sloppy. By the time the team regroups and gets focused again, we've fallen behind in the game.

Wouldn't have batted much together tbf. Maybe once for Australia A at some point, but even that I am not certain of?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

The cutting between different camera angles has been really poor.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Ashwin's tiring now.

 

[Spark]

Ashwin's tiring now.

Actually punishing anything slightly underpitched makes a real difference.

 

[James]

Is Pucovski going on to have Nicholls levels of luck?

 

[Spark]

what the ****? why did labuschagne not run?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Anyway, more about the confused running that's been going on...

 

[Kraken]

3 there tbh, but marnus didn't run hard so can understand him saying no. will cut your hair so you can hear him ffs

Putting Dhawan in Australia down as a loss is pushing it bro

He did alright in the ODIs and T20Is. Has only played 3 Tests in Aus in his career. Also I inherently disagree with Rohit being a part of the Test setup in any shape and form and would have preferred Dhawan over him as backup opener to Shaw/Agarwal.
