*Official* Australia in India 2023

Jadeja always gives you an impression that he's a limited over specialist temperament-wise, but the heights he has achieved in tests definitely proved me wrong!

Among the more notable instances is Steve Smith offering the thumbs up when being beaten on the outside edge.

Speaking on Fox Cricket, Border said he wants it put to a stop.


“Play with a harder edge. I mean, we’re giving blokes the thumbs up when they’re beating us outside the off stump,” Border said.

“What the hell is going on? That is just ridiculous.”

:laugh:

He added: “Don’t go stupid, but Australia play hard nose cricket.

“We’re even giving someone thumbs up ... bloody hell.”

Smith had the highest score by an Australian in the second innings with his 25 not out.


Not one other batter made more than 20 as Australia lost all 10 second innings wickets in a session to lose the Test.

The second Test starts on Friday.

Warner's constant giggles at being beaten or being outfoxed must've been equally annoying.

Can people please stop suggesting Ashton fkn Agar as a replacement

He averages 50 with the ball in tests, 40+ in fc and was out bowled by Head & Marnus in his most recent game

I am certain that the only reason he’s on this tour is that the selectors didn’t want to admit that they had made a monumental **** up by picking him in Sydney

What's more concerning is how many post 2k - around 11 or 12 or the worst 20 scores are from this millennia.
I feel in modern era , Teams give up fight easily if they face huge first innings deficit or 4th innings target.

One of the reasons is over reliance on sweep, people keep bringing up Hayden/Cook/KP or even Root playing that shot. Well they never faced Jadeja/Ashwin with DRS on these surfaces, Root did but failed after one innings in 2021. Check SS or Rohit & how many sweeps they play? Sweep is a high risk shot on these surfaces, sure on Chennai first test 2021 or Ranchi 2017 it could work but not on these pitches!

You really need nerves of titanium to survive here & importantly put the last ball completely behind you, I'd argue eventually even SS will fail because no one else's standing up in the top order except him.

1st and 15th worst batting performance in the same test match lmao
Lol. I don't have a dog in this fight but it's a little satisfying seeing Australia getting steam rolled if only because it'll help give their fans some humble pie.

look if you have the choice of the leftie who averages 42.21 with the ball at an economy rate of 3.04 and the one that averages 12.83 at an economy rate of 2.20, you've gotta pick the first one
