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

    Still India should play 4 proper wicket takers. I think they are going a proper bowler short by playing both Sundar and Nitish. Bumrah and Siraj may get it done again by picking up the top 6 but in the event they don't, can Nitish and Sundar take middle order wickets? Can they dismiss two of...

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

    Bumrah bailed India out in Perth but suppose he doesn't have a good outing in Adelaide, how is the rest of the attack going to take close to 20 wickets own their own? I just don't see- Siraj + Rana + Nitish + Sundar taking close to 20 wickets. Whereas if the attack without Bumrah was Siraj +...

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

    I would love to see both Jadeja and Ashwin play in the pink test but thats probably just wishful thinking. Still India really should be going with their best 4-5 bowlers. it's a common misperception that pink ball only helps seamers. Ashwin took 4 wickets in the 1st innings last time around...

    Even a 50 seems kind of impossible against pace bowling.

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

    Rohit is potentially the new Dhoni, watch India lose 3-1 or even 4-1 from here. Have a pretty bad feeling about the rest of the series.. And it's mainly because of this lazy entitled **** captaining the side. Anyway I was looking at the scorecard from the last outing in Adelaide in 2020 and...

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    Next T20 World Cup is in Sri Lanka and India. So Pakistan will play in Sri Lanka. 2031 ODI WC is in Bangladesh and India so Pakistan will just play in Bangladesh. It's no big deal for India's POV though ICC will have to work something out for always having an Ind pak fixture in the group stage.

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

    Siraj was really good in Perth. Easily India's 2nd best bowler last match and someone with experience of bowling well in Australian conditions. It would be outrageous to drop him for Akash. Plus Siraj was the pick of the bowlers yesterday. Akash and Rana both looked so wayward and Rana fluked 3...

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

    Rohit appears to be the worst Indian batter bar none. He has regressed tremendously. His only hope of getting runs is down the order against an older ball and tiring bowlers. If he wasn't captain he'd be getting close to being dropped. On paper Gill + Rohit seems a clear upgrade on Jurel +...

    Expected batting order- Rahul Jaiswal Gill Kohli Rohit Pant Sundar (Jadeja looking unlikely) Reddy Rana (Akash unlikely) Bumrah Siraj

    Australia A vs India A games

    He is a worse batter than Jadeja. A significantly worse bowler and a worse fielder. How is he playing as an all rounder over a player like Jadeja? Makes absolutely zero sense.

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

    This warmup match is proof that it's literally Bumrah or bust. Most probably Australia will win the pink match comfortably. I don't see India even making it close unless they play proper 5 bowlers (including 1-2 who can bat) rather than trundlers like Reddy. Just for the sake for pace options...

    Australia A vs India A games

    India need to play 2 spinners for the pink ball test. So often average fast bowlers can become cannon fodder with the pink ball. Let's not forget that Ashwin picked up 4 wickets in the 1st innings of the Adelaide test in 2020. And Lyon is always a handful with it too. So I'd definitely want to...

    Australia A vs India A games

    Looks like India won't make changes to their five bowlers that played in Perth. Only Rohit and potentially Gill will come in. This is based on the tour match batting lineup shown on telecast today.

    Australia A vs India A games

    Siraj has looked good and has picked up a wicket too. Bumrah aint gonna bowl. So it's practically a bowl off between Akash and Harshit. Akash has been wayward so far though. Not done good for his chances.

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    You can take more catches but on tracks that turn into flat decks from day 2 onwards and stay that way across the test, NZ will struggle to beat Eng like Jun 2022.

    NZ need to prepare bowler friendly tracks to nullify the bazballers

    2016 vs SA. Lost the first two tests and then won the last one in Adelaide, which happened to be a pink ball test lol

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

    Hazlewood is the most accurate bowler in the world and looked the pick of the bowlers in the Australian lineup. Could have been deadly with the Pink ball depending on the conditions. However, Boland is almost as good a reserve. Tons of experience. Might even be a blessing in disguise as India...

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

    Since the warmup Pink ball game is going to be significantly shortened due to rain, there's no need to specifically try players who aren't going to play the pink ball test. There'd be a bit lucky if 4 sessions of play is possible. So need to make the most of it and prioritise the starting XI...
