*Official* Australia in India 2023

[StephenZA]

Did the ball suddenly start spinning?

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

To me Australia are making this batting look like hard work - the deck is a road and they are not even going at 3 runs per over?? I mean seriously??....Khawaja needs to show just a little bit more intent and be positive.

 

[Saket1209]

Khawaja should show some intent now.

 

[mackembhoy]

If Khawaja carries his bat I wonder if that has ever been done in the subcontinent by a player playing for a non Asian side. Albeit he is of an Asian birth and heritage.

If you think Uz is going slow, wait till Pujara comes in

If this was the 90's Carey would've been dropped for three years for that shot.

There was a Foxtel mini of a 2004 test on today where Martyn scored 100 & 90 at Nagpur

He was infinitely better than Carey

Not many keeper bats better than Martyn with the bat except the bloke who played with him.

Pretty sure Slater was kicked out of the Test side despite averaing nigh on 50 for something similar as well.

 

[DriveClub]

I think khawaja will be stranded or get out in the 190s

 

[Darwin Award]

Khawaja should show some intent now.

Yes.... currently still 28 runs away for his double century and with 7 wickets down India could easily rattle off the latest 3 wickets in the space of 10 balls or so.

Take more of the strike and start smacking a few more 4's now..

 

[DriveClub]

Australia should target to get through until tea

Wrong approach they should target to see off session 2

 

[subshakerz]

450 & a Khawaja daddy please.

Yeah would be sad if Khwaja doesn't get a double. God knows he deserves it.

 

[Raz0r6ack]

Damn that Lyon incident was scarcely similar to Phillip Hughes.

 

[DriveClub]

Worst session so far aus 62/3. Another strong session and aus would have bat India out of the game. Have given India a sniff now

 

[Molehill]

Not entirely sure what Aus were trying to achieve in that session, they've gone precisely nowhere other than using up time they probably can't afford on this pitch.
