**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[silentstriker]

Quality.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great knock! The one real hope in our batting line-up for the next decade

 

[ataraxia]

Such an exciting prospect for India.

 

[Daemon]

What a great knock

This kid is the real deal

 

[Xix2565]

Great shot to get to your first 100 in Australia, and that too at Optus in Perth.

 

[ataraxia]

Jaiswal has two sixes behind square on the legside this innings and neither were pulls. Pretty rare.

 

[Teja.]

What a way to bring the century up. What a start to a career.

Love to see how happy Jaiswal is. You can see it meant the world to him.

Hope he realises the opportunity he has after putting in all that hard work and locks in even more.

 

[morgieb]

Is that almost a zinger bail fail?

 

[straw man]

That's a great century, especially after the way he got out first innings. While there's a fair bit of yOunGEr GEnEraTion hAvE No pAtiENce sentiment going around, Jaiswal does have patience, has defensive technique and has all the shots too - just needed to put it together.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jaiswal

 

[King Kane]

The first ton for Jaiswal in Australia, I've got a feeling it won't be his last one either.

 

[King Kane]

No ton for Rahul though.

 

[Bahnz]

Really good innings, should be the foundation for a big win.

 

[silentstriker]

Big wicket - lets see what the plan is by India with the new guy.

 

[Teja.]

Great innings from Rahul.

Now our ass middle order has to at least put on a few cameos.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

When did Sachin made a century in Australia, 1982?

 

[Teja.]

When did Sachin made a century in Australia, 1982?

1992. Two centuries, one in Perth and one in Sydney.

This is unfounded Gambhiring IMO. None of the Australian top seven bar maybe Khawaja have shown any useful crease occupation ability for a long time now. No way we are chasing 300 let alone 400+.

As for deciding between Bartlett and Morris as the next cab off the rank, Bartlett is maybe too similar in method to Hazlewood and doesn't really provide the pace to turn the game on its head, even if he looked unplayable bowling a test line in the T20Is.

Didn't Smith play a great 4th innings knock just last year in Aus?

 

[Test fan]

The first ton for Jaiswal in Australia, I've got a feeling it won't be his last one either.

Atleast one more hundred will come from this series itself.

 

[honestbharani]

How good is Jaiswal tho? Proper gun. Hope he has a big series here. He's the future.

Wish we would give Sarfraz more rope. He's not as technically sound but he's got just as much appetite for runs.

I wont mind him playing the last 3 tests tbh. But I feel his slot will be taken up by Rahul who has earned it tbf.
