*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Arachnodouche]

Axar, indeed all the spinners, were very tight.

Yeah, fortunately there's that at least with him. I say drop a non-performing batsman, god knows we have a few of those, give Axar a promotion, and play Kuldeep. I'm only half kidding, sadly.

Rohit and Gill looked very comfortable out there. Australia will have to bowl out of their skins to bowl India out on Day 3 or even by 1st session Day 4.

Those two are the in-form batsmen anyway though. The rot lies below them. Pujara might shine yet but I have no confidence left in Kohli's innings-building abilities.

Has Ashwin put out a YouTube video this test about how to bat in first innings’ in India?

Yesterday was the most important day in Australian cricketing history

The day Alex Carey proved how useless he is. Honestly, what a shot.

Even if we bowl them out at the end of the 1st session day 4 they've probably made 400 in that time right? Gives us an 80 run lead and an ability to dictate the target if the pitch is still flat. I'm more worried that India bat till the end of day 4 and beat us by an innings.

Lyon coming over the wicket makes a lot more sense on this wicket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shubman so freaking ***y

 

[Burgey]

Gill batting like a scared man on the world’s flattest pitch. Backing away while 440 odd behind. Fraud.

Odd take, he was toying with Starc lol

 

[Daemon]

I think scoring quickly is a good thing here, gotta make use of the surface before the inevitable turn. You already see signs of it. Starc's building footmarks too.

 

[morgieb]

Need some control while both batters are attacking. Murphy on please.

 

[Spikey]

Nice to start with the short pitched stuff so we can dump it for the rest of the game

 

[Daemon]

Rohit on the pull is so ***y yet scary. He's been out this way multiple times.

Lol you he averages 30 odd in test cricket. You don’t toy with anyone when you’re over 400 behind and that suspect. He backed away from a leg stump length ball after gloving a short one the ball before.

He hits from down to up with it, so when he middles it it goes miles but when he doesn’t it’s risky for sure

He will soon after day 4.

Just wait.

I feel like they've almost underused Murphy since the first test, maybe just a case of 3rd spinner in the subcontinent stuff. You want kunhenann and Lyon to get a rhythm going and you ideally shouldn't bowl Murphy and Lyon at the same time since there similar bowlers.

Yeah they’ve sort of got carried away a bit with having the ball turning away even though he’s better than Kuhnemann

He’ll be bowling again on day four tbf
