*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Kraken]

I think this one was more of a no-ball than the Steve Smith average saver last game.

?

 

[social]

That's terrible from Border but social was advocating picking Nesser over Lyon so lol

Ah no

I have never advocated dropping Lyon

Given our injuries, Neser should be our 2nd seamer but nice try at whatever you were trying to achieve

 

[honestbharani]

263 is better than I thought we'd get tbh. If we can bin off Warner and get the expected out of Smith and Marnus, suddenly there's a batting order there.

I really dont think the rest will be better than Warner. I honestly think you would be 200 or 150 all out now if not for Warner today. Seeing off the first hour matters. I agree he looks shot but your next best ain't good enough either. So.. ?‍

 

[silentstriker]

This is a decent, defendable score.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Seeing Chris Green take 7/29 (and 13/72 in the match) to bowl us to victory in the last test will be fun.

@Spikey would approve

 

[morgieb]

If you told me we'd score 263 at the start of the day, I'd absolutely take that. As long as we keep them under 325 we're right in this.

A wicket or two in the mini-session would help.

The main unfortunate thing is the Khawaja reverse sweep. Those two definitely could have batted for quite some time yet and then we'd be looking at a score which is getting towards "imposing".

I am a little concerned that Smith made a very similar mistake to the one he made in the last game. Knowing him though that'd be enough for him to reset completely.

starfighter forgot the twin fifties that green hits in twin century partnerships with C. Green

He executed it okay I think, was just a really good catch, unlucky in a way.

He got most of his runs today with those sweeps and reverse sweeps though. Gotta take risk to get the returns and he did get decent returns.

 

[subshakerz]

Best thing for Australia is four out of the top six look in reasonably good touch.

 

[Spark]

It was just the wrong ball to play that shot, very much premeditated. He'd have been better off trying the orthodox sweep to that line, or frankly just
leaving it and banking the moral victory that he'd forced Jadeja to bowl that wide.

Right but the real win was that he forced Jadeja to bowl wider. Premeditating was the problem.

India have to bats last

Another runout like the one from last night in the Marsh Cup game perhaps?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Having watched a few more replays I really don't think Smith edged it. Very odd.

 

[ashley bach]

Paddy needs to be on the spot from the word go, something he wasn't in the 1st test.

If there's one bloke you can 1000% rely on to review it if there's any doubt at all, it's Steve Smith. He's not Shane Watson bad but he's honestly not far off.

I Think india not reach 263 in the 1st innings

 

[Kraken]

**** that’s a terrible start again from pat. Pitch the ****ing thing up ffs

 

[Son Of Coco]

Playing it with his dick!
