*Official* Australia in India 2023

It’s worse that at the start of the day things were actually looking pretty good. At least in Nagpur things were basically ****ed anyway.
Honestly knew they were going to collapse but didn't think it would be this horrible. Australia lost the game when they failed to capitalise in the first innings with a substantial lead

International Regular
Ten-For !
Jadeja's first against Australia, also 80 test wickets against the Aussies moves him past Kapil Dev , Fred Trueman and Jim Laker on the all time most wickets against Australia list (79).

Ashwin on 103 wickets is tied with Lance Gibbs , has Derek Underwood in his sights (105)

Green coming back in won’t help.
Won't it? Unlike the other clowns in the middle order he has more options than just sweep or block vs spin and he's bailed us out more than once in the SC when everyone else has lost the plot. I'm not saying he's gonna average 40+ but ide have backed him to average 25-30 in these two tests and have always occupied the crease.

“I’d have loved to have been in that team meeting this morning”

lol I bet you would, Allan

Great man making the point you can be positive on defence as well as attacking

I meant with regards to Warner’s career, lol

I actually think where Green would help the most is that he gives another bowling option, and would enable a Plan B which we sorely needed second dig.

If you're Australia, might as well open with spin from both ends. Doesn't seem much point of wasting balls of pace even when your paceman is Cummins.

I know people had a good laugh at border for the "AUS need to be harder" comments in the 1st test, including me, but I genuinely think he's onto something. 9 times out of ten when the pressure is put back on this Aus side we just completely lose the plot.

Also, I know this isn't as big an issue as the collapse today, but smith needs to get the **** out of the slips. Two games in a row he's dropped a catch as slip when we've had India under serious pressure and let them get back into the game.
