Jeez that was worse than I thought it was gonna be, real Adelaide vs SA vibes. Dont think we played THAT poorly for the first 5 sessions of that game tbh, 200 was roughly par in the first dig and we fought hard to keep India from running away until the axar jaddu partnership. Had that Murphy lbw that was a tad unlucky + the Rohit drop then lost the plot.
Ill eat some humble pie and admit that I was completely wrong on the tail, Cummins at #8 really didn't work, at all. My major concern though is how similar this was to the second game of the Sri Lanka series. Few things don't go our way and we lose the plot. Starc and green coming back should help a bit, starc averages 30 with the bat in India so that'll help the tail. Warner needs to go, Renshaw can open with uzzie, head can come back for the rest of the series, dont care how terrible he is vs spin, green can bat 6 and starc/agar for Bolland depending on pitch.
Smith and marnus looked good and Murphy bowled well, if Lyon can work his **** out I think we can come back and make a fight of things in the second game. Also Jadeja, what a bloody player .
