Yup, funny that. Also amazing that one day matches aren't the way best to get struggling batsmen into form.

According to kimber the average was at ~0.95 and 1 is generally considered unplayable from somoene of bumrah/Cummins usual pace.

Without being bothered to scroll around the thread, how much of a meltdown are both sets of fans having about their batting?

They should do one for Haze too, that was a relentless spellFor anyone who missed it.
4-17: Every ball of Jasprit Bumrah's devastating day one showing
In his first bowling spell of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, Jasprit Bumrah delivered an extraordinary spell, taking three wickets and was unlucky not to have more. He returned and took one more just before stumps, finishing with figures of 10-3-www.cricket.com.au
Ridiculously good spell, virtually perfect apart from 3-4 balls down leg.

1 degree is about 7 cm at four metres. But it's the big moving ones like the one that got Smith that were the standouts. Bumrah looked like he seamed some more than Lyon (who now looks distinctly over the hill) spun them.
Perfect for India to take advantage.

Nri kohli must slog his way. No way he is gonna last here

I'd be more concerned if I was Australian.
Khawaja - must retire soon
McSweeney - Not an opener but jettisoned in because the alternatives are crap
Marnus - In a complete hole
Smith - Cooked
Head - May have back trouble soon from carrying this lot
Marsh - He averages less than Pope
Carey - Averages less than Pope and yet looks to be one of 2 guarantees in this line up
Not sure what the alternatives are going forward.

Think pitch is gonna get harder to bat. Hopefully as you said we get you guys all out early and batting becomes easyThis is set up perfectly for Carey and Starc to take Australia to 220 tomorrow. 2nd day always best for batting in Perth

Mitch Marsh is bloody Sobers against us though. Head is still good. The rest of them I agree on.
Even more hilarious is that apparently before this game Day 1 at Optus had batters averaging around 64, and the average subsequently rapidly dropping to around 19 on Day 3.

They first need to stop prepering too much seam Friendly wicket just like we need to stop preparing rank turners. Both batting line ups would be fine

macsweeny - debutant needs two to three matches
Smith- is done like tendulkar from 2011-13
Khawaja- might his last series
Marnus- will find his form soon( hopefully after this series
)Head- goat
Marsh- green replaces him
Carey- good at counter punch
I really don't care if India wins this series or not. I just want Boom to play all 5 tests and bowl like a champ.Just caught up on the highlights. What a spell from Bumrah. Roughed up Aussies batsmen big time

No one really is because everyone knows both teams batting is miles worse than their bowling. I pretty much defy anyone whose name isn’t Bradman to go big today against that bowling on this pitch. It was tough work for everyone
