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

Paine should open up

Yeah this was our general consenus a few days ago too. For just a one-off game he's more suited than Wade. Or Burns for that matter.

 

[Pratters]

I still can't get over the Shaw drop. It was such a dolly.

 

[Teja.]

This is a brilliant innings by Paine.

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol the leggie that doesn't turn, actually a great variation

 

[trundler]

Tim Paine you beautiful beautiful man. Long may live the tradition of the tail frustrating India. Just get to 200.

 

[Daemon]

This is Paine’s best ever knock in Tests

 

[Gnske]

lol the leggie that doesn't turn, actually a great variation

If it doesn't turn, it's just slow bowling - SK Warne

 

[TheJediBrah]

If I had something negative to say about Ashwin today it would be that he's dropped short a lot more than you'd like

His 92 was pretty good right?

Who cares man live in the present

 

[trundler]

Loves a chat, does Paine.

Nah. India got way more movement last time too. They've clearly outdone Australia in that respect in this test. Haze hasn't been exceptional at it for a while now.

You undermine youself by specifying Cummins. He does get it to dart off the pitch, but does ****-all in the air unlike the other two.

You didn’t watch last summer or the 2019 Ashes then

 

[TheJediBrah]

The thing I don't get about the Pujara nickname fiasco, is why wouldn't you just call him "Chet". Easier to say than Steve and it's actually his ****ing name

 

[h_hurricane]

Are you sure this wouldn't cross 92 ?

 

[aussie tragic]

Still can't believe AB called for Australia to declare when about 130 runs behind. I always thought of him as one the top 5 Aus captains ever but that was such a ridiculous call

 

[Nintendo]

6000 fc runs for tpaine

 

[Burgey]

he’s picked up three poles with it tbf

I've always thought the Ajantha Mendis wrongun was one of the great trolls of cricket.

Bloke bowled offies 70% of the time, you see a wrist spinning delivery and think it must be a leggie, but nope, double bluff.

Stopped working as well when Mendis basically forgot how to bowl off breaks, but all the same.

Starc against Aswhin = plumb LBW within six balls or he slog sweeps him into Bolivian. Will be a good watch, nevertheless.

Judging by his commentary, I think Warne's into Bolivian too.
