How many overs have we lost to "batsman got hit in the jewels" alone

Bumrah is going to be a nightmare on this pitch. 1st innings at perth areas I reckon. Pradish could also be a handful if he get's his line right; has the pace and the natural awkward bounce from height to use the conditions. Given how webster has gone, even nitish could get a few.

Lol earliest declaration debate ever at 144/7. Idiots

 

[Starfighter]

Those cracks in the pitch are making things real fun.

Hot day tommorrow so probably not

Cummins is really down on pace today

I think Aus would honestly be happy to take the next hour to take the remaining three wickets, not give up many runs, and not really have to bat any significant length of time tonight in the hope that the pitch settles overnight

 

[silentstriker]

If India can bat through today, it may actually hurt them - but of course talking of declaration on comms is deadset stupidest thing I've ever heard.

 

[Daemon]

Not out, it was the magnus effect

 

[Starfighter]

I'd be really dirty if I was given out on the basis of that, considering how much noise is in the snicko otherwise.

 

[Spark]

Can't be giving

Not out, it was the magnus effect

Optical illusion tbh

 

[morgieb]

Oh god, Joel's about to **** us again, is he?

 

[silentstriker]

You can't give that one out.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ahh time for the Jo-el lottery

EDIT: Australia win said lottery this time

 

[Spark]

Geez I genuinely don't know about that tbh

 

[Starfighter]

Wilson doesn't give much of an impression of following a coherent thought process when giving these decisions.

 

[morgieb]

Oh wow, that's honestly kind of unlucky. Not sure that's at all conclusive.

 

[vicleggie]

Did they not have hotspot?
