*Official* Australia in India 2023

IPL is in just 2 week . you can watch him as he is open the innings .now **** off

Could care less for the IPL or Twenty20 cricket in general. Far more interesting to see Kohli resurrect his Test career.

Haha Sunny can't be serious in suggesting that this sort of field should be outlawed? How often do we even see it (Wagnerball aside):?

I thought he was talking about 7-2 off side fields?

Nah, 7-2 legside. Pointing out that we don't give LBWs that pitch outside leg stump because of the blindside thing (which is true and needs to be more widely known) so it's unfair somehow to the batsman to just clog up the legside like that and sort of just stop the game dead. It's not very convincing.

Starc going around the wicket again

Very odd

I guess he feels that Pujara will just leave anything going across on the angle, and at least going around the wicket is making him play

 

[OverratedSanity]

Leg slip to Pujara with starc round the wicket is the first semi-good idea they've had for starc's spell .

Please don't take the new rock this evening. Just so much easier to score on this pudding when the ball is hard

Presumably has no issue with two short legs, a leg slip, a bloke at 45 for the sweep, a short mid wicket, a fella at cow corner and a mid on for an offie though

Even beyond that, genuinely unusual to see a captain so obviously go "**** you, this is a road but I'm not letting you score any runs"

 

[Burgey]

I recall Ravi Shastri assured all of us last evening “one thing is for sure, India will score much faster than Australia.”

 

[Daemon]

Bit of reverse happening. This has been very good bowling and captaincy barring Starc's little spell.

 

[Spark]

Head took an age to throw that ball

Throw wasn’t in the same postcode either

 

[Shri]

ok so hayden made DK dry out his wet(sweaty? eww) gloves when he was training in chennai when DK was a boy apparently lol

 

[Daemon]

**** that's ***y

 

[Spark]

Not sure what's happened here, completely lost his line

 

[Daemon]

Wagner would be pretty handy here.

 

[Burgey]

Is there a lack of faith in Kuhnemann being shown here by Smith?

 

[Spark]

Feels like not taking a wicket during that spell where it was reversing was our big opportunity to make inroads gone

Yeah need to kick on again after tea and revert to bowling dry. Still want a 200 odd lead heading into tomorrow so there’s something to play with if it starts breaking up
