So I guess he won't be selected for the BGT tour then?I mean it should be pretty clear why a bloke scoring a large portion of his runs with little back cuts to third man might potentially struggle on bouncy pitches.

He'll play for sure, you don't drop people on hypotheticalsSo I guess he won't be selected for the BGT tour then?
Haha, that was my whole point, that people are writing him off saying he can't play in Australia when he's never actually played there (aka hypothetical)He'll play for sure, you don't drop people on hypotheticals
Eh, there's a difference between saying "I don't think he'll do well", as a prediction, compared to saying he should be dropped.Haha, that was my whole point, that people are writing him off saying he can't play in Australia when he's never actually played there (aka hypothetical)
C'mon mate. Sarfaraz's wife just had a baby the day after the 1st Test and he didn't miss any cricket. Worth supportingI don't. **** him
He times them well, just like his cuts and late cuts and back cuts and upper cuts.C'mon mate. Sarfaraz's wife just had a baby the day after the 1st Test and he didn't miss any cricket. Worth supporting
crapinfo data guy said:In Australia in 2020-21, India were decidedly the luckier of the two sides. Their expected average with the bat was 29.3 (actual 30.4). Australia's expected average was 37.0 (actual 29.3). Essentially, enough Australian batters fell to early mistakes to nullify the difference in quality between the Australian and Indian attacks. The gap between the two attacks was narrower in the first two Tests (Australian batting: 32.7 xAve, Indian batting: 27.4 xAve) in 2020, than it was in the last two Tests, played in 2021 (Australian batting: 40.0 xAve, Indian batting: 30.0 xAve) after India had lost several players to injuries.
It's pretty lame to dub a side which has a stack of players out and wins a series anyway "lucky." You can wear the label if it's a one off game, especially in a limited overs match, but they were under the pump and over performed. It was a famous victory.How lucky were India on their last tour of Australia? A statistical model tells us

Interesting. We did get a lot of breaks that series but also given the injuries and the side we ended up playing and the fact that we were often playing with 10 or less fit guys in the team.......
They may well leave him out for Rahul tbh.He'll play for sure, you don't drop people on hypotheticals
#SCGSoSpinnyThats it then - mid 1980s Sydney type raggers for the BGT.
