Australia A vs India A games

lol they appealed harder for that one than the one that marnus did which was actually out

 

[Starfighter]

Sarfaraz appealing for hit the ball twice. It was spinning back towards the stumps Sarf.

 

[Starfighter]

And India's tipped their hand for Adelaide with Sundar and Reddy getting a bowl before Jadeja or Ashwin

I think they tipped their hand at Perth. Probably not going to change a winning XI.

Well except to bring in Gill and Sharma so making it 3 changes with Jadeja over Reddy is not too hard to believe

One of the commentators talking about the Indian players playing 3 and 4 day cricket in underage competitions. If that's true, no wonder they learn to compile bigger scores than ours.

Konstas has just turned 19

He’s scored 24 centuries in first grade, u19s and fc

It’s a mindset

 

[Starfighter]

Just seen Davies' dismissal. Shameful.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ton up for Konstas. Well played.

Now get out the way so the world can see more Hanno Jacobs

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah he's at least getting his pad across. We can probably thank Watto for improving his ability to get struck in front of off stump totally plumb instead of getting bowled.

And I'm taking the piss a bit but it is actually a genuine improvement.

I do hope he can learn to play the proper flick off the pads at some point. It's such a bread and butter shot these days for good reason, because there's much more choice of where place the ball than the pushes to the on side he's currently playing.

 

[Starfighter]

200 up. That's something to bowl at and give the Indians a bit of thought.

 

[Qlder]

Now that Bolands playing the 2nd Test why would CA give India batsmen a look at him under lights here? I'd sit him

Shouldn’t do as even Jacobs has done it pretty easily

 

[Qlder]

This is serious stuff. This is a proper Test attack he's taking to the cleaners here

Probably better than most Test attacks as they have used 7 Test bowlers so far, which all wouldn't fit in a Test XI

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Is Hanno Jacobs the greatest cricketer to ever walk the face of the earth


Evidence so far strongly suggests yes

Have seen him play a few times and this is the first time I have thought that he’s an absolute gun

He’s obviously a very talented young player but this was a different level

I would pick him for the 5th test in Sydney virtually regardless of the series position as the team is old & needs new blood

 

[Starfighter]

Fine snare from Jadeja to end the innings. Shame they didn't bat out the full overs.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Seriously though, there are few things more satisfying in cricket watching a player you have known about for years get at oppurtinity at a higher level and genuinely do a gun job, with his secondary skill no less

 

[Qlder]

The only question now is who will Konstas replace as Australian opener, a retiring Khawaja or a failing McSweeney?

Marnus is still there as well.
