*Official* Australia in India 2023

Seeing how a good Aussie side going down like this, reckon our draw a year or so ago in India after losing the toss has to be right up there in terms of result in India goes I guess. Wonder how we got away, that pitch was turning and keeping super low too
Light that's how, you bowled about 10 over short, & Rahane declared too late!

Really wanted Smith's scalp grr. But will take this. What domination. Unlike Adelaide where we were always ahead of the game until the horror morning, this win lays down the law.

Hayden is spouting such empty platitudes about being centred and self examination.
Tbf they’re the same platitudes which were rolled out after 36 AO in Adelaide. The issue is whether they can improve, not what some scrub monkey ex player says in the comms box

The thing that would scare the **** out of me about India's spinners, and why they're so damn effective at home, is their ability to make the amount they're spinning the ball so imperceptive. A ball from Ashwin and Jadeja comes out, and even if it looks like a regular off break/orthodox ball, you don't know whether it's going to spin half a foot, a couple of inches or just slide straight on. If it lands on the seam it does one thing, if it lands on the lacquer it does another. How the F you play that, I'm not sure.

Three..wrong by three..Smith 25 n.o instead of 22 n.o.. my predictive capabilities are done and dusted in Nagpur as well.

True, although in that case even the team management was parroting this narrative post the series win. Maybe this **** does work in high performance sports, I don't know.

Yeah they are just too good. I've said earlier, can't see anyone beating them as long as Jadeja and Ashwin are playing

Wel done india. Thoroughly dominant and well deserved win. Aus need five bowlers desperately and to basically have a pact that if you get beaten on the inside edge your team mates are allowed to beat you to death.
