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

[Kirkut]

I know it's been one over but Cummins was a massive letdown in the first innings too. Can't find the right length.

He hasn't been the same bowler after that carnage from Zack Crawley.

Hope I'm wrong. Like Bumrah he's the next cricketer whom I want to do very well!

 

[Qlder]

Jaiswal looking more comfortable out there than yesterday, if he makes a quick fifty the Aussies are in trouble, a quick hundred they're in deep doodoo

I'm torn. I have Jaiswal for most runs in predictions, but Australia so badly need to get him out

 

[Burgey]

This is a genuinely comical take

 

[Johan]

Crawley putting Cummos in his place sounds like a good reason, but really I think it's since 2022-23 BGT

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Winviz going all in on an eventual Indian implosion. Can't say I blame it.

 

[ashley bach]

Winviz is a fraud

 

[Kirkut]

This is a genuinely comical take

I'm probably generalizing here, maybe because he set such top notch standards with his bowling that I literally expect him to get 5 wickets every game.

 

[trundler]

More like Winwhizz amirite

There's a far simpler answer for Cummins

As Captain - 29 Tests, 107 wkts @ 24.29
Not Captain - 34 Tests, 164 wkts @ 21.59

That straight drive made me orgasm

 

[cnerd123]

Pitch flattening up?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Shot of the match from KL...well, second best after Pant. Nothing's travelled more sweetly along the ground.

 

[Spark]

Yeah the pitch is definitely deadening a little, that edge would have carried comfortably yesterday.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Arnold is being diabolical with the mic and Sanju being his usual self......

 

[Johan]

whose more cooked between Smith and Kohli?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

lol there's the Kohli-Cummins graphic again. Kohli even looks a little sickly in it as an accurate reflection of his current stature.

Yea he was bowling at McGrath’s level for most of his career

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Kohli for sure

Nah he's actually pretty spot on. Since the end of the second test in that ashes cummins has played 12 tests (including this one) and averaged 27, compared to 22 before that. He's not been horrible, but he's gone from rivalling McGrath to a kemar roach tier bowler (purely on average).

 

[Johan]

Kohli for sure

are we sure? Smith made 0 and Kohli made 5
