1st Test, Aus vs India, Adelaide oval 17th-21st December

Yeah I can't ****ing deal with this all summer. Even Gilchrist and Hussey aren't pulling him into line.

Our Summer Game TM Warney Gilley wait quick need to talk about The Important Indians hey look Virat Kohli has lots of instasnap follows and also we think Virat Kohli might be the best batsman after bradman ever and quick let's throw in a mention of Sachin Tendulkar hey look Jasprit Bumrah he's got a story that almost sounds like that one about alleyway tape ball cricket how quaintoh yeah that reminds me of that time I had dinner on a tour in india wasn't that a laugh gee they like curry don't they

Has anyone even mentioned Hanuma Vihari yet? 9 tests in right? Don't we think that might be an interesting talking point? Introduce the audience to a newish player in India's test side?

It seems odd that it wasn't corrected by the 3rd umpire. Presumably that's the rule, but it's a strange one.

The concept of jurisdiction in a game where you hurl a piece of cowskin at a piece of wood is delicious.

Burns should have dived.

Totally pointless using WinViz in a Test when we're not even halfway through the 1st innings on the opening day.

 

[Burgey]

No luck for Cunmins there

Australia have been horribly unlucky today, good batting from India but jeez the amount of edges that have fallen short/in no and land.

 

[cnerd123]

A collapse is imminent tbh. In typical Indian fashion it will just happen in the final overs of the day's play to some filth from Labuschange or smth

Yes. But India have consistently batted with soft hands, which means that edges have fallen short.

No first slipper in the game’s history has dived forward at a ball coming at that pace which is landing there.

I ****ing hate Rahane's Gambhir-esque pokes to short balls outside off god ****ing dammit how has the coaching staff not told him about it already ffs

The Ghambiring is strong with this one.

Oh I'm aware, I thought the sarcasm was obvious but I should have added some hb flavour to my post to make it clear.

He used to throw his hands at those and get a lot more boundaries square on the off side. Either leave well or go after it with conviction, instead of limp-dick tentative 30 year old virgin awkard pokes. Its so shitty

 

[stephen]

If Cummins had have gotten the new ball he'd have 4 wickets by now.

I liked the ambiguity. It's healthy.

The Chad Panicked Hook vs the Virgin Blue-Balled Pull

 

[Teja.]

Rahane pulls an excellent bouncer by cummins for six
