*Official* Australia in India 2023

[halba]

Should be Warner/marsh at the top in world cup. with Warner to look to be aggressive. Left hand right hand combination. Head at no4-5

Re SKY worst series ever for a batter, triple 0(1 ball faced each) ?

 

[thierry henry]

That ballsack SKY getting 3 goldens in a row is utterly succulent ?

 

[TheJediBrah]

One of my mates said he didn't think SKY was consistent enough to be in the ODI team. Terrible call obviously, the most consistent series from a batsman I've ever seen.

 

[rainabeel_78]

Lol England would have drawn the series 2-2 if not for Pant+ Sundar in 4th Test.
Our batting is absolutely garbage.
I am making a bold prediction: If Kohli fails in this series, he will be dropped from the Team.

really kholi dropped form team

 

[Sunil1z]

really kholi dropped form team

Well he was the top scorer from IND thanks to 186 on road .

 

[ankitj]

Our ODI team is just so hard to get excited about. Its so boring with no real backing of multi skilled players.

Skilled players is the need. (Truly) multi skilled would be a luxury that may not even be needed.

 

[kingkallis]

really kholi dropped form team

Is it too tough to write Kohli instead of kholi? Just curiously asking.

 

[slippy888]

Was SkY picked to late in his career though it tough for a 31 year old to adjust

To no one's surprise, a nice post script to the series.

ICC literally saying Broad snr. was talking out of his ass about the pitch is fun, though.

ICC changes Indore pitch rating from 'poor' to 'below average'

Holkar Stadium now has one demerit point, as opposed to the three it had after the original rating

Why on earth is DRS tech still not being used for this? The appeal process is legit just two dudes watching footage from the game. We have the tech to know how much the average ball has "misbehaved" based on Hawkeye data.

I'm not sure that's quite what the ICC is saying.

The game lasted about 190 overs - that's 2 full days and about 40 minutes on day 3, if the over rate was as it should be.

Now if that doesn't make a poor pitch, I don't know what does.

Surely the all powerful BCCI won't have 'encouraged' the ICC to change it's verdict.

I mean two people watching some of the game on the TV are obviously better placed to give a judgement than an experienced match referee who was at the ground ?

What did the gabba deck in the AUS vs SA match get? It lasted barely two days and wasn't in India.

 

[honestbharani]

What did the gabba deck in the AUS vs SA match get? It lasted barely two days and wasn't in India.

Or the Lords test in 2018 in England? But hey, too much seam/swing = good, too much spin = bad. coz, you know.........

if pcb can pummel icc bcci can probably drown it in a bathtub

 

[trundler]

How is drowning in a bathtub more severe than pummeling

 

[Ashes81]

Any match that lasts just over 2 days, and where both sides struggle to make runs, whether that match is played in India, Australia, England should get a poor pitch rating.

 

[Ashes81]

Or the Lords test in 2018 in England? But hey, too much seam/swing = good, too much spin = bad. coz, you know.........

No I don't know - perhaps you could enlighten me.

The 2018 pitch at Lords couldn't have been all that bad, England scored nearly 400.

 

[trundler]

Any match that lasts just over 2 days, whether that match is played in India, Australia, England should get a poor pitch rating.

How about Afghanistan's debut test? Or to go to the other extreme, how about the Rawalpindi pitch? Was that a poor pitch or were they just thoroughly outclassed? Think results based analysis like this can be deceptive. I agree that both the GABBA and Indore pitch were subpar but there should be a more foolproof way to gauge how poor a pitch is than match length surely.

Ah suddenly the scores matter more than the number of days.

The Pindi and the Ahmedabad pitches both were worse than Gabba or Indore.
