*Official* Australia in India 2023

BazBall is slogging

Head doesn’t slog

Wrong. Bazball is controlled aggression

 

[honestbharani]

Good stuff but a funny game when both teams would feel things are not as bad as they could have been lol

Wrong. Bazball is controlled aggression

Yeah getting caught at 3rd slip reversing sweeping a seamer in a Test match is "controlled aggression"

lol

 

[TheJediBrah]

As exclusively predicted by The Burgey Team.

Mate everyone and their dog was saying that Head should open in India

Exclusive my ****

This is going to be a fun ending - 65% chance it ends tomorrow.

I think Australia's chance ended when they failed to get a sizable lead. This counter attack while good will not sustain. My prediction is that they will race to 100 for nothing and then lose a clump of wickets and eventually set 180-220 ish something and India will get there this time with their top order actually performing. Never wanted to be proven wrong my life obvs

Brook plays pure cricket shots. Cricket manual sixes

Did smith drop a catch again? They 100% need to get him out of the slips. He takes some blinders but this is 2 games in a row he's dropped one at slip at a crucial junction in the game.

lol who the hell would of thought Travis opening instead of Warner would be gold? @Shady Slim

Not really watching as different timezone for me.

2 question to Indian fans....

How does Bharat look with the gloves so far, because unless he is gun not entirely sure longterm his value as he isn't exactly Pant with the bat.

KL Rahul....ideally in the bin if he fails next innings?

Bharat is Saha. Good with gloves, OK with bat. But has been either shown up at international level or is under pressure to perform. So, he hasn't done we with bat so far.

Gill for Rahul is what every Indian fan here is rooting for.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bharat kinda looked untidy with the gloves today imo. Didn't actually drop catches but kept fumbling some easy-ish grabs.

 

[Burgey]

Sort of comes down to whether Head bats 90 minutes tomorrow. If he does he will fist to death Indias chances.

 

[anil1405]

As good as that Axar-Ash partnership was, that last 45 minutes made it Australia's day. Our bowlers looked clueless in that mini counter-attack.

75 will be plenty.

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

For me guys Zampa is a genius leg spinner they are very rare these days

Genius? Really? I reckon you're being too generous

You can take Kohli & hand over Smith

 

[slippy888]

When Travis Head bats like that no bowler in world cricket can stop him

 

[slippy888]

And they South Australia does not produce any decent cricketers look at this Travis Head guy

There's something very wrong with him when he fields at slip on pitches like these. Whether he's not concentrating or his technique is just wrong I don't know but it's going to be so difficult to catch anything low because of how upright he is and how quickly he rises.
