Dude that's what I'm telling you. We've literally had him doing that for four years and what he's done is bat like a tailender. Blokes like Turner, McDermott, Handscomb, Matt Short etc should have had much more of a go, especially given we all knew it was going to be in India, not on English featherbeds.

and what about the other blokes I mentioned moving up and down the order we got now but your just going to stick to one my points. Gotta move up green and maxwell and head is a must but not sure he’ll be fit. But hey we’ll stick to the same line up now and you’ll defend it all tournament once we keep getting flogged

Whatever it takes!!!
One thing that has happened with the renovated ground is the blocks of space they have left in between the 2nd and 3rd tier stands for the wind to blow across. The earlier structure was fully enclosed. Dunno if that means more swing for the faster bowlers but I would assume so.

Depends on the direction it blows

Yeah they've been good

It's far from being a dustbowl. Seems difficult to time the ball but far from unplayable

It's definitely taking a bit more out of the surface than you usually see but this still should be good for at least 220-230 with competent batting.

Honestly think its still a 250 wicket. When you get to like 130/3 in 35, 250 is still possible. The wicket is a bit slow and holding up along with spin, but its still consistent with that, so set batsmen can really take a toll esp. against the fast bowlers at the slog here.

It is one of the few Indian grounds with a decent size boundary across the board though, so there is that.

Sure but I'm making an allowance for the fact that India really have bowled well. Still should be seeing a score with a 2 in front of it regardless
