**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[Prince EWS]

No, protein quality index is almost entirely irrelevant to muscle building. The "protein quality index" thing is an extremely flawed concept based on old data where people fed uncooked bean flour to pigs and used that to extrapolate things. It's far more nuanced, and frankly quite irrelevant

Amount rather than "quality" is relevant to muscle building

What's KFC like as a source of protein?

What pisses me off about this team the most, is not the team but the preparation. They should always play all the lead up shield games so they might actually have a home advantage. Particularly, the bowlers. When is the last time they bowled in Perth. Pathetic ACB putting money over performance. I'd argue performance is the easiest path to money.

That's what I don't get. They did a lot of work on the schedule to ensure all Australia players had 2-3 shield games not impacted by Australia whiteball schedule (they promoted how good this was). It's just that none of the whiteball players took up the offer and they rested instead.

 

[Skyliner]

Marnus into the ‘attack’.

 

[King Kane]

Surely Bumrah let's Kohli get a ton before they declare.

He is going for it now.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Please don't declare.

That's a good caption for this photo

 

[Bahnz]

Lol, Kohli so desperate for his hundred he nearly ran Reddy out.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha that was the old Kohli. Amazing to split the two fielders with that pull shot .

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jfc Reddy is swift. Seen him in the outfield and he's an absolute hare.

What placement there from our King, Lord, and Emperor.

Sport in Australia is so fake and scripted. This is about as real as State of Origin.

 

[Xix2565]

How we got here after that 150 all out is baffling. Pitch curators are just secret magicians, there's nothing else I can accept for this.

Which part of this?

 

[Zinzan]

Inb4 declaring on Kohli 98*

Hick deserved it IIRC.

 

[the big bambino]

incredible but the protein talk has been the best part of this thread for the last few pages.

 

[BazBall21]

Marnus Labuschange bowling bouncers to a set Virat Kohli.

Australia are in disarray.

 

[Daemon]

Kohli showing us how it's done with his low protein low bioavailability diet

 

[Qlder]

Give newby McSweeney a bowl, what have they got to lose

 

[Skyliner]

The commentators are convinced a declaration is imminent.

Can't let Kohli ton up here, it gives him too much confidence for the series imo

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Kohli in one day chase master mode. Unstoppable

 

[Zinzan]

Ideally they would want 10 overs at Australia tonight with probably 3 lost for the innings changeover, so I'd be declaring now.
