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

Reddy’s already batting more sensibly with the tail than Jadeja usually does

ok not sure why Bumrah called him through for the single

Probably told him to stop with the turning down singles business and just bat normally

 

[Burgey]

Was it Taylor who caught one like that back in the day?

Steve Waugh played the role of McSweeney and TOTAB that of Marnus in a similar catch in an ODI in the early 90s iirc

 

[Zinzan]

That's the way, perfect shot on a Perth track.

Yeah I think I've seen that one too but the one I have in mind was Taylor. Was a Test match.

For all their wins in last decade for India, this has been the poorest aspect of all.. farming the tail

Can't be turning down runs when you've got ****all on the scoreboard anyway.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez there's been some runs scored over the slips today

 

[Spark]

Going to put it out there that this pitch is fast

Trav Head might break a record for runs scored over the slips

 

[Silver Silva]

Sarfraz should have played here , those uppercuts over the slips is a specialty of his

 

[Qlder]

Last time India batted in Perth they made 140 in the 4th innings....good to see they improved with 9/144

Sarfaraz would've nicked one to gully within 20 balls.

 

[smellcricketintheair]

last two dismissals were fishing outside the off , immediately after a fluke shot goes for boundary

 

[cnerd123]

Aus may have bowled well, but this batting effort is almost entirely down to the fact that Indian batters are not able to bat time. Rather than being able to absorb pressure and be comfortable not scoring, they look to score runs, and make mistakes in the process.

Meh disagree. Bumrah and Siraj are terrible, have to shield them.

 

[Bahnz]

Heh
