*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Gob]

hahaha

Even if they play Agar, don't think it would really work a cos Agar is terrible and b cos India right handers can just kick it away. Handscomb would have to play I guess.

Only hope Aust has here is win the toss and bat

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

All pitches should be like that. They should go further and divide them into quarters, with a different groundsman being responsible for each patch.

 

[Prince EWS]

I love it. The balls.

Since he won't be making many runs, Davey should sneak out when its dark and piss on it

Make himself useful

What acid would do to a pitch?

 

[CricAddict]

This is so hilarious. And the explanation would be, both teams are playing on the same pitch etc. Do it, BCCI. Pretty please. Would love it if the pitch remained this way for the test.

India gets zero assistance for spin elsewhere. So, this is justified by all means.

In b4 labuschagne 4-fer skittles us for 85

Wait are we all playing a bit or are we legitimately saying that deliberately preparing a pitch in such a way that one specific part of it behaves completely differently to the rest of it is an okay and proper thing to do?

We're on a cricket forum, right? We actually like this sport, yes? The sport that involves cricket team vs cricket team, not cricket team vs curator?

 

[duffer]

This is the BCCI version of 'rancid bait' I think

lol no it's appalling, but it's easier to laugh at it than deal with the confected outrage of the slighted.

We should send them an infraction notice.

The build-up to this tour has been quite good so far. Lot of anticipation and hype to day one. Ashwin has been releasing quite a few tidbits too on his videos in the Youtube platform.

both teams have to play on the same surface. If one team is better suited to it than the other then so be it. This is literally how cricket has worked for 100s of years and it's naïve to pretend otherwise.

 

[ataraxia]

This makes me really want to watch the test, be great to see Aus get absolutely pumped. lmao

It’s pretty bad hey when this is the best take you can make. Piss weak.

Not exactly. It's obvious they are leaving certain parts of the wicket dry (out side the left handers off stump) to take advantage of the left handed heavy Aust batting line up. Making the whole pitch dry I get it but I have not seen this before

I don't think this is right but couldn't be ****ed to argue about it

Haha spot on

The sum of right handers' potential for Australia is better than the left-handers I daresay. Smith plus Labu better than all the other Aussie batsmen.

Just change your team at the toss.
