***Official*** Australia in India 2017

Nair looks pretty good.

Looks in total control. Need him out.

 

[Burner]

You're talking #intent here. Boot would approve.

Haha it's totally unfair on Rahane as well. He gets out attacking its 'why would he do that now?' and if he hangs around and gets out defending, you have the above. He can't win.

But bottom line is, he can't play spin. Would get chastised until he looks like he isn't going to get out every ball.

He's on 11 ffs

Smitteh, this **** has the ability to turn good balls on off stump to square leg for a single.

Block it off.

Problem with Rahane right now is that his in-between game is gone. Not rotating the strike at all. It was a huge problem for him in ODIs but combined with his issues vs spin, it's bled into his test game too.

and he's looked miles better than every other Indian batsman in the series so far.

 

[Burner]

Maybe Nair doesn't have the scars from the previous game?

coming off an unbeaten triple probably doesn't hurt the confidence either

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Nair looks great.

 

[adub]

WTF

SOK spun one!

It's a mine field out there I tells ya!

 

[Compton]

If this partnership lasts for a while longer then India should still post something competitive.

350 is a good score from what I've seen.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wtf was that

Well, I can think of at least one way he could win. It would involve scoring runs, though.

 

[CricAddict]

When someone says SOK just bowls accurate straight ones and doesn`t spin the ball, show him that ball 55.6.

 

[Burner]

Nair's a stroke maker so the spinners have something else to think about other than how am I going to get him out.

 

[harsh.ag]

Nair is the new Rahane.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

This partnership has only been going for half an hour or so but it's really the first time India have looked on top with the bat in the series. Looks more like a normal tour of India.

edit: Just as I say that, pretty poor way to get out.

 

[adub]

Yeah, bowling SOKKY

 

[Spark]

(y)

 

[adub]

Threw that away Nair. Hadn't looked troubled at all.

But two top balls from SOK. And well done Wade for not ****ing it up.
