*Official* Australia in India 2023

[centurymaker]

I am so glad that I placed a big pre-innings bet on Australia scoring over 300

 

[Gnske]

No do go on Rohit. Blow a review

Depends what they end up with.

Head looking ominous in the past 2 overs

 

[Gnske]

If only Peter would use his Hands to play Australian like Head and not Comb

Seriously sounds like something Jar Jar Binks would say.

 

[Burgey]

Ooof. Have that.

 

[Spark]

This looks a genuine road.

EDIT: Which is why we should do things like avoid unnecessary run outs

 

[Nintendo]

Is ashwin bowling a bit short? Feels like khawaja has been able to go on the backfoot far too easily this over.

Travis Head checklist:
[x] Looks awful for the first 20-30 balls
[ ] Starts smashing boundaries for fun

 

[Burgey]

You have approximately 20 balls against Travis where he looks utterly village . Then it's like he swaps with a doppelganger between overs and stuff begins happening.

Edit: what he said

This could get away very quickly. Pretty bad first mini session by India.

 

[Burgey]

He goes again. That was the shot of the morning through mid on.

Regardless of what happens from here, Head has well exceeded anything Warner would have done. Trash thing to say but Warner's injury has been a bonus this series.

 

[GotSpin]

Keep bowling this garbage please

To be fair I'm starting to suspect that this is the sort of pitch where the side batting first needs to go absolutely massive to be truly safe

 

[TT Boy]

Will Head open in England?

 

[Spark]

Will Head open in England?

No, they've been pretty clear he's moving back to 5.

Its really not that difficult to captain in India. Dont give fast bowlers more than 4 overs in a spell unless opponents are 300/2 or something and u finally got some reverse going. Conditions are hot and humid and you want them rested and bowling at their best pace.

Rohit has shown a lot of Rahane V NZ energy in his captaincy this series. Just lets things happen without being proactive.

Edit: what he said

It really is funny how every single Travis Head innings is like this. He always looks absolutely gutter tier for about twenty minutes, then he hits two or three good shots and then he's basically playing park cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Whatever turn there is on here looks really, really slow thus far.
