*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Burgey]

That wasn't as hard as Kohli made it look.

Came up a bit too fast.

As soon as I saw it go down for some reason I thought of Mark Waugh and how he'd pocket those crazy-fast catches at slip to a spinner like they were nothing burgers.

 

[Spark]

Even Kapil and Prabhakar were good slip fielders for us back in the day. Azhar was the best, of course.

I think both Dravid and Sachin were highly underrated slippers if we look at Waugh's era tbh. They didn't stand out at the time because they weren't that flashy and there were so many good ones going around, but they'd honestly be at the very top of the pile in the current era.

 

[CricAddict]

There's a guy in the commentary box who would have taken that 8/10 times imo

Dinesh Karthik?

Rohit is doing what he does in MI. Going by what the analyst told him about match-ups.

Dravid was exceptional to kumble who was one of the toughest guys to catch off too.

I don't think that Jadeja's 100%

Motie is better than him atm

 

[G. S. Kohli]

1702 runs to-gether by Smith/Labu in partnership.

 

[CricAddict]

I remember someone (I think @Burgey ) posting a scorecard predicting 200s for these two and single digits for others. High chance of that coming true.

He's only bowled about three overs hasn't he?

Will well and truly settle for this tbh, though sitting here atm Marnus looks comparatively ok and Smith looks scratchy, but when push comes to shove if Smith gets out we're ****ed.

 

[honestbharani]

Marnus actually looks better than Smith so far. Both guys look like they will bat all day.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Day 1 track for Jadeja 5/3/3/0 or Ashwin not much help.(Motie took most on day 5 )
Here India need to play vs Top spinner Lyon on day 5 not easy

 

[honestbharani]

Ravi and Jr. mentioning what I said about the moisture and dampness and how the hot sun can settle down the tracks in India an hour or so into the game.

 

[Burgey]

Smith gets beaten and gives a thumbs up to the bowler. Such a rare unit.

 

[honestbharani]

Lol, they are literally queuing up to bowl. Axar went to hand his cap over before Ash could.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Rohit is doing what he does in MI. Going by what the analyst told him about match-ups.

He really isn't a captain's arsehole is he? Why wouldn't you bowl Ashwin, your best spinner, while these two were new at the crease?

 

[Burgey]

Yeah he's more likely to challenge both edges on day one you'd think

Ah the Alastair Cook school of captaincy

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Almost got bowled there

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Best SENA batter againsf spin?

Smith, Root, or Latham?
