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

[PlayerComparisons]

Starc is due a good series against India

 

[straw man]

Waaaay too expansive with the long handle

 

[cnerd123]

the moment got to him there. Wanted to hit that out of the screws to feel settled.

 

[Starfighter]

India certainly sating my desire to see unfamiliar players. Feels like I've been watching the same cohort of players for a decade.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Didn't know paddikal was at 3 lol that's brave

Not sure why that should be the case. The reason he hasn't in the previous two home series is because he bowled rubbish. That's under his control (I hope).

 

[Starfighter]

Jeez that's beaten him. And Starc's not bowling as quick as he used too.

 

[silentstriker]

Ooof, wonderful bowling so far.

Conditions to his liking today tbh. He did well on the slightly more bowler friendly decks in the beginning of the 2021 tour

I think India will be prioritizing the England test series next year , so this one is just them having fun and experimenting. Wouldn't be shocked if half of the lads get released to play the big bash in a few weeks.

Padikkal needs to watch his front pad. Sticks his foot out a bit too far.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

padikkal falling over all the time

 

[OverratedSanity]

Paddikal is a prime lbw candidate here

 

[ashley bach]

Haze already looking good

Heh.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Oh boy! This is so bad. Why are they not focusing on tackling this issue instead of poverty?

Assuming that Channel 7 would be interested in tackling poverty is quite a stretch.

 

[Burgey]

My exclusive predictions of KL Rahul as leading Indian runscorer and McSweeney for most catches looking good so far

 

[Son Of Coco]

Channel 7 providing Hindi commentary apparently. Given their political allegiances, I assume they've got Mahatma Coat doing the duties.

As is my exclusive pick of Starc being leading wkt taker

 

[Fuller Pilch]

These Aussie quicks might not be O'Rourke and Henry level but they're bowling pretty well and putting some pressure on the Indian top order.
