Greenidge scored a double hung over so I say booze beats sports science.
Been some good lols since yesterday and this is another.The game's in Madhya pradesh, not Andhra
I think it adds enormously at the top level tbh, but that's not inconsistent with consciously avoided over-thinking the pitch. It's there, it is what it is and you have to play on it. So have a quick look at it then get on with ****. Seeing blokes bending over the deck and virtually examining it with a magnifying glass like some of the Australian players did before the first test is peak stupidity.I wonder, percentage-wise, how much all the modern professionalism adds compared to just shoving down beers and waking up semi hung over? 5% 10%? Even 5% would be a huge difference at the top level, but maybe it takes something away mentally in terms of making it perhaps harder to relax or having more stress these days which is hard to measure.
Stadia in Australia are non smoking areas so Warnie and Dougie would have to duck off to Moore Park for a dartAre they even allowed to smoke ciggies these days? I'm sure Gayle filled up the locker room with exotic vapors but the rest of the circuit seems horribly square.
Indore has black soil, while you can also get red soil pitches (like from Maharashtra) it's not native to this region! That will also have an effect ultimately on how the pitch behaves.Reds usually become softer and slower as the match goes. Black soil provided bounce but also prone to break up and vicious turn and bounce.
I think this one will be a pancake for two days followed by usual turn and soft bounce. I foresee big 100s for S and L

He did some commentary for a while and still does public speakingUsually the more they stay out of the spotlight post-retirement, the more standup they tend to be. Figures, you'd have to be some level of narcissistic prick to willingly have eyes on you in this day. (not sure how lowkey Walters is in Aus but I can't recollect ever hearing from him in international media all these years)
Yes he will.Will Kholi score a 100 in this game
He's really low key. You only really hear about him from guys who played with or against him who have stories about him.Usually the more they stay out of the spotlight post-retirement, the more standup they tend to be.

I didn't know he'd done that. I thought better of him tbh.Meanwhile, Virat is yet to score a Test century after becoming a vegan
