*Official* Australia in India 2023

Jadeja india's best all rounder ever ahead of Kapil now. cant get him out, and bowls jaffas as a bowler.

Can you believe there's still people who say Kapil is the greatest.

 

[trundler]

Last that happened to India , Kohli practiced his MC skills

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What is Patel doing? Should have played kuldeep

If Jadeja gets out, who will bat with Shami and Siraj?

 

[TimAngas]

This is the 39th test in Asia that Jadeja has played. He's averaged 44.08 with the bat and 20.92 with the ball in these games in which India has won 30, drawn 7 and lost 1. Just demoralisingly good.

 

[Howe_zat]

Assuming he gets to 50*, Jadeja and Ashwin are now tied on 6 matches each where they've taken a five-for and made a 50 in the same test.

Overall leaderboard:

Ian Botham - 11
Shakib Al Hasan - 10
Richard Hadlee - 6
Ravi Ashwin - 6
Ravi Jadeja - 6
Malcolm Marshall - 5

*I started typing this on the approach and then accidentally posted it, so it's here now. Blame my new phone for the premature statting.

[G. S. Kohli]

Murphy 5 wickets on debut. This murphy is excellent. India not able to pick his arm ball.

whats with the umpiring? all umpires calls- 4 of them i think - all the umpires default to not out cos of DRS safety net. Then they should fix the DRS to make it more accurate, like in tennis hawkeye is 100% accurate, so why cant it be accurate here.

they're offspinners bowling around the wicket to right handers. Those LBWs never get given even pre-DRS days. They reviewed a couple that looked similar that were not out. Hardly atrotious umpiring.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Marshall's batting is underrated. Decent no 8 in a tough batting era.

wow what a high bar

Apart from Vettori I can't think of any decent looking spinners tbh.

Actually Ravi Shastri and Shadab Khan, but slim pickings

Spin bowlers tend to have horrible all-round genetics

 

[cnerd123]

Jaddu has already outscored Lokesh, Kohli, Pujara and SKY combined. What a legend / what a bunch of hacks we have in our batting order

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Simon Kerrigan

No, none of the male characters in The Castle were that flash tbh.

Umpiring has been pretty decent. Lol on the sulking about the 50/50 calls.

 

[Burgey]

Actually Ravi Shastri

What? Ugly as a hat full of arseholes
