***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Burgey]

If Australia scores more, India is likely to score more too. It will simply highlight that the pitch has fewer demons and help psychologically.
If Australia had gone for 200, India may have got less too. It's psychological...

What if Australia rips through India with the new rock and they're all out for 120? Will the pitch have got worse? If Australia had scored 180 would India have only got 90?

This is water divining stuff here.

Well that lasted a while.

 

[Starfighter]

Good to see them lasting long in the morning.

starc didn't want to bring his maiden ton up in front of a crowd of like 27 people

 

[Gnske]

Ready to see two days of O'Keefe and Lyon look like they're bowling on a completely different pitch.

 

[Spikey]

Looking forward to Warne storming into the room and kicking Clarkeh off commentary as soon as SOK takes the ball

 

[Burgey]

If Australia could only have been bowled out for less than 200, they would have a better chance of rolling India for 120 #centurymakerthoughts

 

[Tangles]

We want a seam all rounder at 6 so just promote Starc. #starcat6 a better option than Mmarsh and Wade. Give us room for Bird to be the 5th bowler.

this belongs to the grand myths thread tbh

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope Vijay and KL see off the new ball. Should be good to go from there.

 

[Burgey]

Bit of swing from the get go for Starceh

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I dont buy Australia opening with Okeefe than Haze. Not a good decision

 

[adub]

SOK Babeh!

 

[Spikey]

not liking the in-out kinda field, giving away an easy single innit

 

[Burgey]

This is why test cricket is dying

 

[anil1405]

Easy singles in the 2nd over of the innings with field spread. Awesome.

 

[adub]

Gotta agree with Clarkeh here. Bring mid off up Smitteh

 

[Starfighter]

Would have let Haze use the new ball while it's still new... You don't have to copy the opposition tactics.

 

[Anil]

is o'keefe getting any turn?
