*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Burgey]

Lyon wondering Wtf more he has to do to take a bag full here

 

[Spark]

Starc straying down the leg an awful lot.

I don't think he's fit. First spell of the day and he's serving up medium pace

 

[Howe_zat]

Matthew Hayden just maybe being a tad hyperbolic comparing Kohli with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan as “one of the great athletes of all time” but tbf he knows who pays his bills.

To be fair to him - which is not something I'm particularly inclined to do really - I think you can make the argument that Kohli is the best limited overs player ever, and the formats do seem to blend together a lot in the minds of most pundits.

 

[duffer]

Vihari was screwed royally. Play him on this wicket and he'd be impossible to dismiss.

Yeah what happened to him? Thought he looked very good when he toured here

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wonder how many Tests centuries there have been in which 5 or fewer boundaries were scored (before getting to 100 anyway)

Not tests or 100s, but Adam Parore once scored 96 in an ODI in India with 0 boundaries.

 

[AnthonyC]

Maybe a few overs fro Head...

Even on a very good day for Jordan or a bad one for Woods I bet they never/hardly ever shot 100 point/shot games/rounds.

preparing for tryouts to the national differently abled side. keeps breaking bones in his body in domestic every time he plays. currently fractured wrist i think

 

[R!TTER]

Not Kohli? Unless you think BCCI=Kohli

 

[Shri]

vihari's entire body is like will pucovski's face

unlucky with injuries

 

[Spark]

Real danger signs these last few overs

Cricinfo lists at least 20, where they'd scored 5 or less in a completed ton, including one by Kohli in Galle, since that started getting recorded in the early 90s. Fewest boundaries on record in a ton is only 2 by Graeme Thorpe in Lahore in 2000.

 

[Shri]

was steve smith known to bowl his main bowlers into the ground when he was a full time captain

 

[Spark]

Yes, and he'd pick and choose which bowlers he rated and which he didn't as well

 

[slippy888]

India need to get a 120 lead then declare today

 

[Shri]

tired fielder tripped on the boundary after the catch. 6. khawaja. hope he is ok

 

[Spark]

That one would have been swallowed if it's Green there

 

[morgieb]

TBF it's tough to not bowl them to the ground when you're bowling 150+ overs and some of the main bowlers haven't picked up the slack.

I see Trevor Bailey only scored 1 test 100, but perhaps did it a few times in his 28 fc 100s.
