***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[wellAlbidarned]

'Haydos' I can comfortably say is the worst commentator in cricketing history, worse than Warne and the Channel 9 Oi Oi Oz Oz mob - worse even than Swann on TMS.

you've never heard nathan mccullum

 

[S.Kennedy]

I was watching the Sheffield Shield before (end of Queensland v Victoria) and there was no commentary. It was bliss! No inane chatter!

 

[Contra]

Pujara is a monster run scorer.

 

[Spark]

So ****ing loose

 

[artvandalay]

He's improved his scoring rate quite well since the first 100 balls. Rpo s over 3 now too.

 

[Contra]

loving these extras considering how many we've given away when we bowl.

 

[Spark]

holy **** what a gift, 2nd edition

 

[burr]

This is sloppy. Good from India too - forcing the pace which the Aussies weren't able to do. Just shows how badly we needed that extra 100-150 we failed to get.

 

[Contra]

God what's with the gifiting of the wickets, this is ridiculous.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is bad.

 

[Spark]

We so did not deserve that at all.

 

[burr]

So it appears the only way you can get out is to gift your wicket on this pitch.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Three wickets gifted. I was thinking this was petering out to a draw but looks like it will be another close one.

Kohli vs extras this series :

1st innings: Kohli 0, extras 1
2nd innings: Kohli 13, extras 12
3rd innings : Kohli 12, extras 16
4th innings: Kohli 15, extras 15
5th innings: Kohli 6, extras 4*

Kohli average: 9.2
Extras average: 12

Well on his way to England 2014. Friendly reminder that he was averaging 13.2 there.

Jfc Smith gave the template to bat on this pitch and it is basically to grind out the runs. Why the **** are we trying to go at 4 rpo?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Extremely sloppy period of play, this. The bowling hasn't even been that great. Lyon early today was way better and we gift away wickets like this. Really poor.

 

[Top_Cat]

Even though Cummins got a wicket, would think this'll still be his last over.

 

[Top_Cat]

And 'gifting' wickets is what happens on slow decks. Looks like sloppy play but it a decent indicator the bats are struggling to time it.

Yup. And all the batsmen are obliging.

Many of them have been the result of poor shot selection though. Genuine brainfarts.
