**Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

[ankitj]

Rohit to show some intent and lead from the front at the stroke of lunch.

Nooooo. We need lack of intent.

 

[honestbharani]

India are much more capable of getting good scores than Australia at the moment, so long as they're not batting on terrible bunsens or something really damp.

You were saying?

 

[honestbharani]

Anyways all set for the usual 120-150 a.o now after winning the toss. Our bowling (Bumrah, basically) are not gonna bail us out two tests in a row.

You were saying?

You watched the previous test, right?

 

[King Kane]

Hopefully Rohit can hang around while Pant shows some intent and smashes another matchwinning ton.

 

[Spark]

Still bowling too straight to Pant

 

[Starfighter]

Goddamnit.

 

[Spark]

That's the right line at last

 

[Son Of Coco]

McSweeney...what are you doing?

 

[Burgey]

Jfc this side is low in the field. Should be six or seven down

 

[Starfighter]

Lol nice celebrappeal from Boland.

 

[Spark]

This umpire sure gives batsmen out quickly

 

[cnerd123]

Rohit? More like Nohit.

 

[Starfighter]

Jfc this side is low in the field. Should be six or seven down

This is easily the worst slips fielding side I've seen in the fifteen or so years I've been watching. As you've been watching a lot longer - how much worse were they in the eighties?

 

[ChudLubber]

This umpire sure gives batsmen out quickly

Don't need to think about it when its plumb.

 

[Spark]

Vital to finish this off now. Don't want to struggle yet again to dismiss the lower order and have to come out against the new ball in the dark

 

[Qlder]

Boland's bowling average now 19.94

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah this is not a good score lol. Can't expect Bumrah to bail us out all the time, this batting lineup just blows.

 

[cnerd123]

It's too early to Gambhir you fruitbag

Your mom's a fruitbag

It's not Gambhiring with this lot. They're a genuinely poor side. Aus should seriously consider giving up Test cricket altogether if they lose a series to this lot.

 

[King Kane]

At least Rohit gets a chance to have a crack at the leftovers from the dinner break.

Boland is a very handy back up for the Aussies, he makes the most of his chances.
