**Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

[Spark]

India really should be targeting a big score here. Not a lot going on, and Aus are not bowling especially well

 

[CricAddict]

Anyone who hurls down the red or pink cherry from 22 yards is a threat to this batting line up.

Labuschagne?

As soon as Cummins took himself off for the first time the seam movement disappeared. And we've seemed a flat since the drop. Still like to know why Khawaja's in in first slip.

Yeah McSweeney is a better option. But for a long time - far predating this current team - first slip has been a seniority based position rather than a catching based one

They target that every time they bat tbf. They are just not good enough to get those. lol

As in?

Tournaments won wise? Starc and Hazlewood are there with him. But again that is a team thing.

But figures wise it is Bumrah. LOI even more stark.

Tests Cummins away record is a bit mediocre (by his standards).

White ball cricket isn't real unless stated otherwise on CW.

This passage of play emphasising how India have been better at finding singles and hitting gaps so far in this series.

Yeah seems like a trad Adelaide pancake with some contrived anticipation in store from the pink ball. Have a feeling it will grip for Ashwin too.

 

[Spark]

Really bad signs here tbh

I remember Sachin fielding first slip forever even though Rahul was leagues ahead as a slip catcher, esp. at first slip.

India are much more capable of getting good scores than Australia at the moment, so long as they're not batting on terrible bunsens or something really damp.

Australia being so hospitable to Shubman, amazing to see.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Willow stream's been atrocious. First they had Laender Paes at some tennis academy randomly leaking into the cricket, now it's gone off completely.

 

[Spark]

I really should revive my vendetta against deep square leg. It's making it virtually impossible for them to bowl straight

 

[Spark]

This is not a serious field

Test wise Bumrah is better then. Extremely balanced home/away.

 

[Xix2565]

I have to ask, is there much discussion on Lyon's recent form vs India in Aus, or is that just not worth the time given the batting/fast bowling woes?

 

[Spark]

The lack of intensity out there is driving me insane. It's all just so casual

Longevity is real and checklists aren't.
