[Senile Sentry]

my xi for the next test:

Rohit
Gill
Pujara
Pant (fingers crossed. idk if we even have another batsman in the squad. would rather play with 10 players than with shaw, which is the same thing anyway)
Agarwal
Saha
Ashwin
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj
Natarajan

Y hate Rahane so bad you making Agarwal replace him in middle order

I suspect they'll go with Saini again as he did pick up some wickets.

 

[Shri]

saini is a hack

 

[Window]

Sure but I have the feeling they'll stick with him.

So, how does everyone feel about the idea that if India had actually taken all the runs they knocked back, they would have won by 5:27pm?

Could Vihari even run?

Saini is needed, gabba is bouncy and he's the last bowler we have who could bowl in 87-90 mph range. In fact the last proper fast bowler after Siraj and Bumrah

I don't trust traditional wisdom about Australian decks anymore. Thank you PEWS for shattering my certainties. Is the Gabba actually bouncy?

 

[Son Of Coco]

No ****ing way Aus goes back to the Cheat to captain, surely?

Paine is a total idiot but he still has that elite integrity to lead.

Personally, I love how Paine gave Indian fans the shits so much in 2018 that they're still carrying on about it now.

Its a bouncy road unless it’s really undercooked

Lord Hanuman was injured and couldn't run.
If he had tried to push it he might have lost concentration.

Not getting the win doesn't bother me at all.

Did he cross 140kmph much this match? I only glanced at the speeds a few times and he was bowling mid to low 130s.

Paine is incapable of giving anyone the shits. A truly forgettable character.

He was maybe mid-high 130s for the most part. He’s obviously a step down on the other two blokes but he wasn’t terrible. Based On what some of the Indian fans said about him, I didn’t expect him to hit the pitch

 

[Kirkut]

He had to deliberately bring his speeds down because he was giving too much width to Pucovski and Labuschagne in 1st innings.

What they do in the relative privacy of their dressing room is a matter for them
