*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Fuller Pilch]

It's just a rule of life, if a test match is happening there's always at least one person who is thinking of declaring.

True

 

[G. S. Kohli]

nearly 100 lead this match is too far gone for aus now

You never know Aus opener not as good as "Mark Taylor Era" in Asian sub-continent but good enough to wipe out lead

 

[OverratedSanity]

Someone on cricinfo is talking about declaring??? Crazy.

Just keep batting

Tribute to Warne

 

[Howe_zat]

bolands average is spiking back to normal levels.

*looks*


It's normal for 1880 I guess

 

[G. S. Kohli]

True

You not declare on day 2 with perfect weather for next 4 mos

bolands average is spiking back to normal levels.

Jamieson averages 30 in India (and bowled superbly in his 1st test there). Will be interesting to see how Boland goes.

Murphy looks to me, my Meth teacher of Mumbai school.

Wow that's great learning to cook when you're still at school.

jamieson looked so toothless in the second test he was barely bowled

The new Khawaja is good in Asia. I wouldn't have given his LBW on naked eye either

 

[OverratedSanity]

Badani-esque drive by Axar. Beautiful.

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.

This is wrong info ...For example Ashwin has made a 50 and 5for in three test matches, when a player takes a 5for and scores a hundred it isn't counted in the same criteria cause a 100 is different from 50 .. Ashwin has done 100 and a 5for 3 times and 50 and a 5for 3 times .

imagine if the curators had not made this pitch unfair for lefties huh

Good in the 1st test though. Besides Ajaz was bowling all the time from one end so the other end was split between 4 bowlers (2 of whom were spinners and the other was Southee who is the best current SENA seamer in Asia).

Oh wow I wish someone had pointed out how ****ed up and confusing this entire system was so that these situations could be avoided.

They made it unfair for Australian lefties.

 

[Burgey]

Mushtaq Ahmed looked cute imo

So did my pet Pug Murray. But he was never going to be a pin up boy

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Pujara out vs spin after 99 test wow

Murphy sir Salute you !

 

[srbhkshk]

They made it unfair for Australian lefties.

Well the Australian lefties started it by being **** tbf.

Jadeja only bowler with over 150 runs (175*) & 9 WKts in his last test at Mohali in 2022.

I should have specified, when I said 'made a 50' I meant 'made a score of 50 runs or higher'

y'know like a normal person would
