***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Spikey]

Whats Bradman's take on this?

if he were still alive he probably would have died the second time Kohli got out leaving a ball

 

[Hennybogan]

what would Moses have done?

 

[karan316]

So many "real IDs" with so many unique responses. Must be pretty hectic.

 

[Gob]

Shoo

 

[Hennybogan]

Yawn keep defending the spirit of the game, you know "mankad" was just the first.

 

[srbhkshk]

Not to get into the who is wrong here debate, but while I do know that what Steve did was against the rules (so he shouldn't have done it), but it's kind of a stupid rule, DRS is there to help umpires make the correct decisions and I don't care if that involves a little help from the dressing room. I hope Kohli is doing what he is doing just to rile up the aussies.

Regarding the series, I want the third test to be a hard fought draw so that both teams have equal hope and basically kill each other in the 4th match, [I also want Steve smith to not open his account any further in the series. ]

 

[Burgey]

Jeez if Kohli goes cheap again this test and India loses the pressure on him to deliver come the last is going to be massive. His actual head may explode.

Channel 9 reporting that Stoinis will debut in place of MMarsh due to his bowling

If true, the hierarchy have really got it in for Usman and Maxi

I certainly hope not.

Surely if it's another turner, they have to go with Maxwell?

Well, he's a better batsman than Stoinis to start with and the only way either will be called on to do much bowling is if India are piling up the runs

For all the overs they'd need to bowl they should just pick the best batsman. Worst came to worst, there's no reason why Smith couldn't chuck down a couple.

Pretty much but Khawaja is on the nose

 

[adub]

Why didn't they just give Andrew Hilditch back his spot on the selection panel?

 

[stephen]

Thursday can't come fast enough.

 

[Gnske]

I'm sorry but the recently revived corpse that is Australian cricket can't survive a Marcus Stoinis debut.

Someone start re-digging the grave

A quote from Wade on a Fox article that Stoinis has 'averaged quite high in first class cricket'. 35 is high? **** are we lowering our standards these days.

The idea of selecting someone who's out of form and not that good a batsmen in the first place is so stupid when it's so clear that the batting's the problem. We may as well only bat ten players at this point.

Especially when Henriques has been in fantastic form and can surely send down 5-7 overs.

Perhaps they were talking about his bowling average.

 

[Tangles]

Wade got picked despite a lack of runs so he would think Stoinis is doing ok. Anyway it's Wade so who cares what he thinks. Talentless hack.
