Handscomb just looks like Deano batting with the baggy green on.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Handscomb is looking like a smart horses for courses selection. He didn't look that bad in the first test either.

 

[Burgey]

More than decent run rate here lol

This is so important. They are going to get out anyways so dont get bogged down.

Nah the point of the run rate is to force field changes and bowlers plans

 

[honestbharani]

if i were a cheating aussie

is there another type?

No, it's looking pretty benign out there atm.

Think this pitch is easier than Nagpur.

You could barely score quickly there.

 

[TimAngas]

Heroic stuff by Khawaja here. Could be his best innings if he continues just a bit longer.

Maybe. There’s a lot more bounce though

I think Lyon will like it tbh

 

[TimAngas]

Maybe. There’s a lot more bounce though

Hopefully bringing Lyon back into the game too.

Lyon 9 fer at Delhi in 2013 test
He could trouble our middle order

Mohammed Shami doesn't get a lot of praise compared to Bumrah but he's a classy bowler. Would make into more or less any team.

Lol I remember the next test he got dropped for Agar.

mark Waugh continuing to be brilliant in comms

He has a comparable - if not better, need to check - sr to spinners in Indian conditions.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is a quality partnership. Looked so comfortable and played some good scoring shots off the back foot.

 

[TimAngas]

Lots to be said about Handscomb's technique but that he never looks like getting caught on the crease against the spinners is a huge advantage. Plays back most of the time and when he goes forward it's a decisive move down the track.

 

[Spark]

****

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well jeez he cant buy a run but he can catch atleast. Hope he gets some confidence from this.
