Would rather Marnus focus on making the occasional big score for a change tbh

Three is by far the most important player in any line up

If a building has 25 floors then its highest floor is the 24th floor.

Listen to how dumb that sounds

Agreed, that’s why I fully support the hundred

Not the hundred-and-four?

Marnus wants to replicate pujara ie bore indian attack

Bat first 100%

 

[govinda indian fan]

Bat first 100%

That won't matter batting first or second

 

[govinda indian fan]

Batting second atlest we have outside chance to do well anyhow heard perth pitch quickens on day2&3 so either way we are domed

India should win the toss and send Australia in

 

[govinda indian fan]

India should win the toss and send Australia in

With our bad luck with tosses dobut we would even win single toss this tour

No. You bat first 100%. Even if it is cloudy. The cracks will open up at Perth. Chasing 150 will be tough here
