    Australia and 4th Innings Defences

    Lack of reverse swing maybe?:ph34r:

    *Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

    Feels like Australia not being able to bowl teams out on the last day/innings has been happening quite often lately.

    *Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

    Smith seems to regularly spill sitters but take the odd blinder. On a pitch like this it proved very costly.

    *Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

    Reading back and his innings didn't get enough love from those who want him out of the team here imo. Both their gingers are a little underappreciated despite their limitations.

    This signing off from CdG could be both fun and useful.

    They took that review only because of Bavuma's height.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    With the advent of jamodis it is easy to mix up what we have done in t20s and odis. We have been good in t20s - bilaterals at least - but ODIs have been an issue since the 2019 wc when we picked a meme MO that was never going to be good enough in an important game ie Jadhav, Pandey, Rayudu etc...

    Leading a charmed life at present, has it made with no less than Sunil Shetty as a father in law along with the stupid money for the new IPL contract.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    He makes Kohli look like a natural born leader of men. I know people grow into these roles or are at least supposed to but nothing about him strikes me as a leader or someone worthy of being a captain. To add to it you can bet his batting will suffer for it after he has only just secured his...

    they've got a pretty decent white ball unit. looked good in the t20 world cup too and were one of the few teams to defend a total, especially against that England team.

    India Doom and Gloom Thread

    SMAT and VHT did go ahead as per schedule. A full fledged Ranji season needs a lot more planning to execute but you'd trust the BCCI to prioritize it no matter what 2 yrs into the pandemic at least.

    India Doom and Gloom Thread

    We need some out of the box thinking in lois clearly, last time a reset was needed was around 2015 when we were lacking firepower in the lower order. Someone like McCullum could have the same effect that Chappell had when he was coach here without hopefully ruffling everyone's feathers in the...

    India Doom and Gloom Thread

    No Ranji for 2 years is also a problem. The BCCI quite rightly values it's cash cow ie the IPL highly but it's a matter of priorities. The Dravid reign so far has been disappointing, if you were to include the SL series too.

    5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

    this all came apart very quickly.

    That was this test, I'm sure these numbers won't be wildly different in the previous test too where he did have some impact.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    The batting is obviously a big factor but considering that this turned into the bowling shootout that everyone predicted it would be this is where the series was won/lost imo. Saf pacers are undoubtedly taller but Thakur doesn't even use bounce to get wickets where he got more bounce than...

    Didn't even need ultra edge that decision tbh. :p

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    Expectations are higher now. Just competing and losing a series away isn't going to cut it, in this fashion especially. All due respect to saf who are a good team still but India were slight favorites at least going Into this series.
