***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[honestbharani]

Will mean nothing if we cant pull back the second session. The best players of spin are in and the one next in can easily demoralize the entire team.

 

[social]

India would be happier than Australia.

Yep

If Oz had bowled on this, we'd have been delighted with 2 wickets and not devastated with only 1

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good session. More due to Australia batting sloppily than us being particularly great though. Hope we get Smith early.

 

[centurymaker]

Still totally expect Aus to be 320/4 or 320 for 5 max..at close of play. Don't see Australia losing wickets from here on..

 

[Daemon]

Pretty pleased with the score after that first session. If Smith doesn't score I'm predicting ~350 all out.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah 330-350/4-5 wickets I think. But mind you, if Maxi and the Chump decide to have a go, they can still be 426/4.

 

[adub]

should not have lost 3 wickets on the first session on that pitch


Maxwell could play a really scary innings here tbh

The question is who is he going to scare

 

[morgieb]

Indians still trying to Gambhir smh

 

[honestbharani]

Dude, this is a flat a a pancake pitch and you got the world's best batsman and his highly efficient understudy at the crease. They play spin better than just about every non SC batsman around and the pitch is a road. Calling them to ONLY score about 320 odd in a day's play here is what is optimistic. You are the one gambhiring, by calling all this gambhiring.

Gambhiring > pulling a Mr Mister

 

[Arachnodouche]

Please ban all Indian posters. Including me, but I'll gladly offer my neck to avoid seeing this BS.

 

[Daemon]

Hb, if Australia score 420/3 or whatever bs you've predicted, I'll leave the forum for a year. If they don't, you leave for the rest of the series.

Scary for which side?

 

[honestbharani]

@Daemon: Y not take ur bet? If Aus are not bowled out for less than 350, you leave the forum for this series.

 

[anil1405]

Maxwell's dismissal in the warmup comes to mind right now and if a wicket falls early after lunch then Yadav will snap up Maxwell in no time.

Lol @ changing the score. If you're going to Gambhir, atleast do it with conviction and stick to your guns

 

[honestbharani]

Problem is Kohli still does not understand that Umesh is the best 1st or 2nd change bowler in these conditions and Ashwin is our best new ball bowler in these conditions. He keeps getting it mixed up for whatever reason.

Lol @ you not having any idea of what is being discussed.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ok

Warner is shot overseas. He needs to see a sports psychologist. Replace him for last test.
