Hoping for an injury?

Banned for cheating

Or for being too good. Which is sometimes the same thing to people watching.

Haze bad mouths Kohli in Adelaide and typical to CA, they ban him for the rest of the season.

You kid but CA may well do that as it seems nothing other than Kohli matters for this series, based on that ad.?

 

[Burgey]

Understandably the only Indian player anyone out here has heard of tbh.

 

[Burgey]

I mean, you aren't going to put an ad together of Pujara playing 487 forward defences (though I'd watch that tbf).

Kohli’s baby literally cost CA millions in revenue @Pratters

Ishant Sharma ruled out of Australia tour, Rohit Sharma still in contention

According to a BCCI media release, Rohit's "next assessment" will be conducted on December 11

Ishant out of contention for the series.

 

[honestbharani]

At this point, juz gotta assume both are out of the series.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sucks. We really don't have another accurate workhorse. The other pacers are all good but also relatively leaky even when at their best.

 

[honestbharani]

I honestly think Siraj can do the job Ishant did but lets see what happens with Saini. Maybe one of those will come through for us. Bhuvi is the only other guy who can do the workhorse job.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Saini is fairly up and down. Quicker and taller than Siraj but nothing Australians aren't used to playing in their sleep. Siraj offers more sideways movement and also appears hungrier all things considered.

In Australia though would you rather someone who can get a bit of bounce or someone who may be able to exploit the very very minimal lateral movement on offer?

Pink Test I'd go Siraj, not sure about the rest.

thats ****ed up. Hope he’s back ASAP.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah... we are without our workhorses in both formats with Bhuvi and Ishant injured but it was always bound to happen with the long break and then going straight into the high intensity everyday workload of the IPL.

hmm I honestly don't know man. Saini looks like someone easy to get on top of mentally at least in these parts. He's stubborn like a jackass about his lengths to boot. I can see him getting pulled into oblivion in the Tests if he keeps at it.

 

[the big bambino]

Losing Ishant creates uncertainties for India’s attack. I could see them playing a 4 man attack with Ishant but may favour 5 bowlers now that he’s out.

Assuming all other things equal you'd definitely take the bounce, but I don't think they are.

If this was a SA or a Pak tour whole board would be bankrupt
