He'll be out so quick it'll be like you never saw him at all.

“Great opportunity” aka we’re screwed & somebody needs to do something

Tom Moody mate

As an Indian fan, I hope that's an accurate comparison

 

[Daemon]

That really was a nothing ball to get out to. So odd.

 

[Spark]

but seriously once again they've let themselves become completely stuck. no attempt to change the rhythm of the game, no attempt to craft consistent scoring areas that they can rely on.

Jacob Oram and Tom Moody?

 

[vicleggie]

Serves Australia right for not picking Glenn Maxwell.

 

[stephen]

Here's a plan, use your feet and hit the spinners through the line. There's no protection down the ground and they're not turning the ball.

There was an attempt though. Wade and head just kept finding the fielders.

Jacob Oram and Tom Moody?

Also Peter Fulton

This batting strategy Australia have employed to India has been so dire this test it literally makes me angry. #sacklanger

You need super nimble feet to do that against Jadeja which precious few batsmen today have.

 

[Shri]

I think head and wade need to put some real pressure on Jadeja here
He isn’t doing too much and India are a bowler down

starc has created an area to work with outside the righty's off stump

not mmuch but a bit

 

[Spikey]

Travis "Aw" Head

 

[stephen]

Concrete feet...

okay true i will downgrade my critique to one of mere incompetence instead
