*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Burgey]

legitimately sad to think Warner probably over performed in that knock given his recent output.

 

[morgieb]

Not that great of a shot but admittedly it was an extremely difficult ball to play.

At least Marnus and Smith have a platform rather than coming in at 2/2.

 

[Daniel CC]

Geez that's a good nut

EDIT: On second thoughts not as good as I thought. Just the usual issue from Warner getting squared up around off stump from that around the wicket line

it was the Stuart Broad angle

 

[GotSpin]

it’s a good ball but it helps when you play like that

 

[social]

Ball didn’t really do much

Just no footwork

 

[Spark]

It's a ball you expect a good Test quick to deliver at least 3/6 balls an over. If you can't play it then you've got a real problem

Yeah, was probably more damning that innings than getting dismissed in first over; especially his struggles against short-pitched bowling.

4 byes but a terrible shot from Tontine

 

[Spark]

You would have to be extremely unlucky to edge some of these deliveries from Ashwin. Going a mile, and bouncing too

 

[Nintendo]

Jeez ashwin is getting the ball to turn and grip.

 

[Shri]

this is a tough track. khawaja playing really well. shreyas will have a lot of work to do when he bats. hope rohit and rahul turn up. otherwise it will be up to the lower order again

 

[Nintendo]

suprised they haven't bought axar or jadeja on yet.

Reminding me a little of Bangalore 2017 - which alas I thought was a bad pitch - in that it's seriously ripping on Day 1. Not so much the turn but the fast turn, and bounce too. Lyon might actually like this

 

[Daemon]

I thought this wicket was supposed to have slow turn. It’s absolutely spitting.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Cummins and Lyon are going to love that kind of bounce

Definitely think this is a good toss to win. Can see this deck being nasty on Day 4.

 

[TheJediBrah]

3 spinners for Aus is an eyebrow raiser

even on the spinniest of spinny dustbowls they never do that

 

[sphynx]

This is a Lyon pitch for sure with this bounce.

Good counter punch from the Aussie top order also, they've put some scoring pressure on early.

 

[Burgey]

reckon it might be a bit high

 

[morgieb]

Could be close, bounce?
