*Official* Australia in India 2023

if we had kuldeep i would back us to defend this total

I read years back Bradman and Sid Barnes both made 234 against India in Sydney.

Must've read next day's newspaper right? Lololololol

Hard to like Axar and Jadeja. Both as bowlers are so protected as a species. Like allowing Rhinos, Giraffes, Meerkats and Lions to get a restraining order against Glenn McGrath

If Australia get these runs and make it 2-1 it'll be Axar so far the MAJOR difference due to him being involved in crucial partnerships in both the 1st & 2nd test when India were in trouble.

Yes,India's bowlers have given Australia diarrhea throughout the tour but Axar broke their hearts and turned the series around with the bat.

siraj vs gill who played the shot better today

You still may if you take three really quickly and panic sets in. Problem is if one bloke gets 30 chasing this sort of target it’s basically done

No one saw that coming lol

I actually think a 2-2 series would've the perfect result for India long term. Not quite disastrous enough to be a stain on Indian cricket's history, but disastrous enough to ensure some of the passengers finally get binned for good.

Kohli should probably be playing for his spot in the team in the 4th test.

Gill, for sure. Was excellent at giving up a wicket.

You atill

Exactly why I think they should open with Starc with a license to slog as many off the total as possible. He's not making any runs down at #8 anyway, might as well see what you can chip off before the real task begins

Yeah it feels like the trash tier tail vs: having three #7s is the real difference between the sides. Otherwise they seem pretty evenly matched.

How was meeting President Coolidge old man haha

Elegance I would say Gill, game nous and sheer ambition, definitely Siraj

Time for Head to slap some quick boundaries tomorrow

Yeah the problem is that there's absolutely zero margin for error here. The wicket is doing enough that India have a glimmer of hope, but they need to play perfectly and hope Australia really choke.

Should probably have been playing for his spot 12 months ago. **** me, people **** on about Kane being a htb and a minnow basher but at least he still gets on the scoreboard some of the time.

Eh if it was 110-120id say India have a small chance. 75 is a miserable target that probably wouldn't be defended on an early 1900s sticky.

 

[BazBall21]

That's how many teams have won tests here over the years

Yeah. Minefields give the weaker team a chance. Becomes more of a lottery.

Lol that's fair.
