Starc to first change or is he off the field injured?

Nah I think he's been relegated.

Punter's commentary has been pretty off today. He's usually really good aswell.

Has been a bit off the whole Test. India influence, perhaps?

Needs to keep sucking up to India

Why are Indian fans so big on Gill when he averages like 35 or whatever?

Because he starred in one of India's most famous victories ever against the cheating Aussies, then went home and banged Tendulkar's daughter

 

[GotSpin]

This is some rank bowling

I hate it when they regress. But they all seem to at some point, sadly. Soon his only high points will be lunch time master classes on playing the short ball or fielding in close

Also has nice abs.

Isn’t Tendulkar’s daughter 14?

Yeah it's a bit like how GIMH is usually a good poster but has to suck up to Ukraine.

Nothing good ever comes from there tbh.

Yeah.....

Although I do think even in this Test Ponting's still far less annoying than anyone that isn't Nasser or maybe Ally Mitchell.

Really low bar tbf.

Nasser is pretty decent but just because he cheer leads in an even toned voice doesn’t excuse the woeful extent to which he does it.

What could green do differently to allow himself to rotate the strike more early in his innings? Him ending up 10(40) early on is fine when he's batting 4 for wa in the shield, but I don't know if it works as well when he's at 6.

Nasser always cushions his criticism of Indian players very carefully so as to not upset anyone. Weak imo, but probably good for his own self preservation.

Needs to learn to drop and run

Well he got half of that done during India's first innings.

Pitch looks like a total road right now. Wicket probably changes things but India have made the perfect start.
