*Official* Australia in India 2023

Green coming on to bowl wide "yorkers" (i.e. half volleys)

Both the seamers bowling a load of crap really hasn't helped Australia's cause here.

Yeah, you don't really expect much from them in these conditions but even then, they've been poor. Starc especially hasn't looked match fit.

If kholi gets dismissed now will his average be above 50 still?

Well it's not even above 50 right now, so...

Yes, I agree that Starc is to be blamed once again.

 

[slippy888]

India should be at least 130 ahead by close of play tonight

 

[morgieb]

Yes, I agree that Starc is to be blamed once again.

This really should be the last time he plays India. It's basically Ponting/Warne levels bad of a record against them, and he doesn't have a great home record against them either unlike the former or the mitigating factors of the latter.

His record against everyone else is good, but against India? Sami-esque.

What time is close of play? They might try the old chestnut of putting them in to bat for half an hour before stumps.

Kholi will aim for the 200 before any of those thoughts

There's 22 overs to go, so probably about an hour and a half left? An extra 10-15 overs should get the lead around 100 so having 6-7 overs at Australia in the current circumstances would be a good move.

 

[anil1405]

I'd be tempted to send Umesh Yadav in next.

Well I don't know about any player named Kholi so who knows?

He needs atleast 300 not out in this innings for his average to be 50.

 

[slippy888]

50 average is the benchmark for greatness

 

[Darwin Award]

If Kohli gets to his 200 against Australia that'll mean he'll have struck a double century against all 7 test playing nations he's faced.

Incredible!

 

[slippy888]

Kholi needs a red inker i think

 

[Xix2565]

Kholi needs a red inker i think

You need an autocorrect.

 

[R!TTER]

Makes the decision to go with that crab of a pitch in Indore even worse, when you think Green & Starc would've been even less fit to bowl that test - why the f*** did this brain dead TM opt for such a pitch

a bloke in primary school was running around asking people the capital of thailand, they would say "bangkok" and he would punch them in the nuts.
i did not fall for it, for i did not know thailand's capital
