*Official* Australia in India 2023

[ankitj]

Wild heaves from Gill and Siraj, ugh ?

Poor captaincy to send Axar at 9. Wtf were they thinking?

 

[centurymaker]

Bharat should be no.9
Ashwin at 8
Axar at 7

 

[mr_mister]

And if he had gotten 200+ then what? He's perfectly confident? Hate this dumb idea that we're all perfect mind readers.

Like I said, probably me drawing conclusions based on superficial things, but he just carried with him this ****y demeanour I don't see in Gill, Rohit etc. Virat has it but he's earned it(or at least had earned it)

Yeah that's another shocker. Bharat should bat behind Axar too.

 

[mr_mister]

Ashwin should probably go for a few mankads this innings to even the odds a bit

Go full Eddie Guerrero son

 

[subshakerz]

I imagine Australia should win this now, but not smugly. I am quite prepared that I might be experiencing that awful laughter you do when your team ****s up a certain win monumentally.

If there ever was a pitch to defend a record low score, this is it.

 

[subshakerz]

Kohli does not deserve a place on merit. It’s really that simple. There are other players who I would back to score more runs in the next Test and that’s honestly the only consideration that should matter. It’s three years! It’s not like he hasn’t had chances. There is no reason to feel hard done by if ion get dropped after doing badly for three years. The only people who should feel bad are those in domestic cricket scoring loads of runs because they’re legitimately feeling that this is not fair.

I always took him as a cricketer of pride who wouldnt just sit in the team if he couldnt perform. He should take a break and return when he knows he can perform.

Could almost bad Jadeja, Ashwin and Axar at 3,4 and 5 lol

Pick specialist bats from 6 to 9

 

[subshakerz]

Gotta say, Smith really seemed much in the game and energized as captain this test, much more so than Cummins.

 

[TheJediBrah]

For games in Asia:

Rohit
Pant (wk)
Ashwin
Jadeja
Axar
*specialist bat*
*specialist bat*
*specialist bat*
*specialist bat*
*specialist bat*
Bumrah

Would love to see it

Gill literally played like Siraj and Rohit wasn't too far off in the 1st innings. Don't confuse nonsense with reality here please.

Leaving out Shami is bad even for you TJB, smh.

Axar's bowling is a bit of a concern. He's bowled less than half the overs of the other two but just 1 wicket @ 103 against this Australian lineup is really poor.

Umesh deserves a bit of heat for his as well.

Pat might have had a bit on his mind

It's got nothing to do with shot selection, it's in his facial expressions. Let's not have our typical talk past each other conversation

 

[Shri]

rohit and dressing room after siraj's shot

 

[Daemon]

Umesh deserves a bit of heat for his as well.

Umesh biffed a few in the first innings and has previous form with scoring some runs at least. Nearly got that one away for six as well.

Siraj is a complete bunny and should only ever play a defensive shot. Reminded me of Shannon Gabriel vs Yasir Shah.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Axar's bowling is a bit of a concern. He's bowled less than half the overs of the other two but just 1 wicket @ 103 against this Australian lineup is really poor.

Really needs the lacquer on the new ball to be a threat but he's never getting it with the other two guys. No excuse of course, he's a spinner; the old ball has to be his thing.
