***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Gob]

Kohli is such a tease. Just tell us whether you're in or out already.

Thats what she said

Nathan Lyon marking out his run-up here in Dharamsala. Not that that's a surprise at all

Ben Horne‏ @BenHorne8

SOK now out in the middle as well. Early indications would suggest Australia sticking with their formula of two quicks, two spinners

KOHLI OUT. Debutant cap handed to the kid IYER

Ben Horne‏ @BenHorne8

CORRECTION. Iyer is not playing. Kuldip Yadav - a spinner - is the debutant! Confusion reigns!!!!!

 

[morgieb]

Damn... this probably makes India better.

 

[Burgey]

Interesting. Going in a batsman light

 

[Gob]

Thats what she said

To Daemon obviously

 

[Loose Cannon]

Seems Kohli might still be playing, 5 bowlers.

Nah, he's out. Disappointing.

Who gave the cap? Steve Harvey

 

[OverratedSanity]

****. Jokes aside, this is a huge blow.

This is your chance, Australia.

 

[Spikey]

Imagine steve waugh missing a decider

Edit oh sorry let me put jokes back on the table

 

[OverratedSanity]

Australia got to be favourites, surely?

 

[Gob]

Australia got to be favourites, surely?

Not with Kohli out. A regular Sourav Gangully

 

[Spark]

I look forward to reading on Twitter how this is all the fault of racists like James Sutherland.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Similarities with Nagpur 2004 certainly there.... India under massive pressure with the series on the line, pitch and conditions which will suit Australia, captain chickening out () on the eve of the test....

 

[CricAddict]

A weakened Indian team against a strengthened aussie team. This is not looking good already.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Indications are it'll be Kuldeep making his debut.... really not sure about this. Should've been Iyer.

 

[Contra]

Wait 3 spinners for India on a pitch that might help the pacers? Come on we should have picked Bhuvi for this test. As it is we are going a batsmen short.

Bhuvi / Umesh / Ashwin / Jadeja / Kuldeep would have been my pick.

 

[Daemon]

Either pick Bhuvi or Iyer, preferably the latter. Not sure we need K.Yadav here..

 

[OverratedSanity]

No Shami either! Oh man this is poor. 3 spinners and one batsman short, and not selecting your best pacer on a pitch which should suit the quicks seems like a big mistake.

 

[CricAddict]

Selection is wrong. Atleast win the toss Rahane
