*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Spark]

Why is Warner not opening? Apart from Head being better, of course.

Concussion

 

[Pup Clarke]

His whole career is concussed

South Africa have a lot to answer for in letting a post-mortem David Warner slap them for a double.

Read that as post-modern initially. Was thinking maybe Warner is handy with a paintbrush. An absolute artist of our times D.Warner

 

[Pup Clarke]

Lol lol lol at Head not playing the 1st test. Bloke is pure class. Decisive movements and hits the ball with real authority

 

[quincywagstaff]

Head playing the sort of overseas counter-attacking innings as opener that Warner has been unable to do 90% of the time.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Travis Head hits 100 vs Ind A for Aus A in india
Also picked 3 wkts with his off spin

Think him opening and being given a license is a big difference tbf. Also Ashwin has been very very generous with his lengths

Travis Head - not here to fvxk spiders. Wafg he is. Haters can suck it

As exclusively predicted by The Burgey Team.

Impressive little knock from Head. Concerning lack of any real chances created by India in that mini session, even the wicket was a complete gift. Ashwin barely bowled 1 ball an over on a good length there, really poor stuff.

 

[Sunil1z]

Australia’s day . They are ahead by 60-40 imo.

Head played so well that you would almost think that he’s the 4th ranked batsman in the world

I really think they flat out weren't expecting Australia to go all-out attack in that little mini-session and just didn't know how to react. I still worry about some of the defensive shots Head played but India seemed so rattled by his approach that they just didn't test it consistently at all.

**** me that was a depressing day to watch

Ashwin got his lengths all wrong to Khawaja before head even started hitting any boundaries. He often has spells where he does this.

So….is BazBall actually the optimal way to play Test cricket?

Head looks to be our most solid defensive player as he simply plays straight

He might get out first ball tomorrow but he’s been really impressive so far

BazBall is slogging

Head doesn’t slog

 

[Shri]

they have a script like sales callers

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Australia should just bat and see where things go and don't try to play baz ball.

And yet Head did exactly that and was successful

Australian supporters criticise Head’s technique BUT he doesn’t slog

He scores really quickly because he’s really talented & doesn’t need to resort to gimmicks
