*Official* Australia in India 2023

Bloody hell that last ball that got Marnus was brutal considering the overs leading up to it.

 

[Godard]

Kohli's peak also has come in a much tougher era of batting(2017-20).

Kohli has a worse record than Warner in the last few years

tbf, he looked good today but he should be on the shortest of ropes

Sun Drees my man

 

[Spikey]

gonna win this on no-balls

 

[CricAddict]

Kohli definitely not a league above Sehwag lol. They are par. Opening is tougher than batting at 4. And Sehwag pioneered bazball.

Take out the number one batsman in the world and in comes the best batsman in the world.

usman is still batting friend

So can't be bothered to read through the thread... but has the pitch suddenly flattened, or have the Indian bowlers sucked, or did the Indian batting play that poor this morning, or have the Aus batsmen played that well? Or a mixture of all of the above?

Field is too spread some of these easy singles are ridiculous

Opening is not that tough in Asia. Outside where it is tough, Sehwag failed except flat Aus pitches.

Pitch hasn't gotten better. Same balls have shot low, bounced head height, spun at right angles or slid straight through. Aus bats have been a bit more patient but as is often the case with these pitches it's a lot about luck

Flattened a bit, Australia have batted well. Other factors not that relevant. India batting was as bad as what is expected of them. Bowling isnt really much worse than the previous test, where we bowled OK for way more reward.

What a great fight from the Aussies. Time to see how India can play from behind at home.

Lucky khawaja doesn’t like running much

 

[GotSpin]

You idiot khawaja

 

[Spark]

Oh no

 

[morgieb]

Good innings...but weird shot to play when you're looking comfortable and are well in front of the game. I really hope that doesn't spring a collapse.

I would've bought Carey on now.

 

[kingkallis]

It will be huge if India can bundle the Aussie out under 170

 

[Pothas]

Really shouldn't feel like India just won this match but it sort of does.
