*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Spark]

Think both Khawaja and Warner were just beaten for pace, lol.

Khawaja I think wasn't expecting that amount of swing from over the wicket (first nut tbf, can happen) but yeah Warner was flat out beaten for pace.

 

[ataraxia]

Going to **** up a future T20 ATG by playing him in Tests

oh no

 

[anil1405]

Jaddu in. I was hoping the Pacers would keep bowling in tandem for a bit longer.

What's Dr Agarwal? See some signs for it around the ground. Had a kid with that last name who I used to coach. Jeez he was a good kid. Didn't have many shots but gutsy af opening the batting.

It is a famous eye hospital brand. And Agarwal is a very common name in India. It is a caste name with most people from that caste having it as their surname.

Yeah he was a bit out of position and the swing surprised him, but I think the pace had something to do with it too

4-0. India I called before the start of the match and people called me out

If openers can only contribute binary digits before the spinners come on, this is going to be over very quickly

Did you work your black magic on the future Gavaskar.

 

[Prince EWS]

Exactly what I think of the curators of this pitch, tbh.

Played.

I mean yeah pace always does, goes without saying that it's harder if you have less time to react

 

[Son Of Coco]

Just land it on that really white strip.

(Not Marnus).

If you’re going with horses for courses then Warner should be the first player dropped not Head

At least Head is in form with the bat & can bowl

 

[CricAddict]

SKY is a dumb selection. Going to **** up a future T20 ATG by playing him in Tests, while leaving Sarfraz to rot on the sidelines

Yes, very much. They are ruining both SKY and Sarfaraz by doing this.

Spinning it away from two right handers a good move tbh

I think the only reason we are playing Rahul is to reciprocate the Warner gesture from the Aussies.

 

[sphynx]

Some nice turn in the non rough are.

RIP left handers when they get to bowl into the grand canyon.

In theory yeah, but Siraj (in particular) was bowling well.

It being the SC, you could find Aus selections get sufficiently funky that Head ends up opening by the end of the series.

Is there a case for the injury prone bumrah with the pace bowlers in this kind of form?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Axar's action is reminiscent of a 65 year old playing his 12,000th game for his club.

I fully aware he'll probably take 6.
