*Official* Australia in India 2023

Time for Siraj

So just to check, what are the ramifications for the WTC final if Sri Lanka beats NZ 2-0?

Am I right:

* if India wins 4-0, it is India v SL in the WTC final?

* if Australia draws 2-2, it is Aus v SL in the final?

* any other possible result, it is Aus v India in the final?

Stop it, as hopeless as we are, when did we last actually lose a test series at home, to a second tier team?

 

[Burgey]

As great as Jadeja and Ashwin are, India has really missed a trick by not mixing the bowling up a bit. Even a couple of overs here and there from the quicks before now would ask a few different questions.

 

[Spark]

Felt that was coming. He's never looked at all comfortable against Jadeja.

 

[Daemon]

There we go

 

[Burgey]

Disappointing error but a terrific partnership by those two. A modicum of competence from here from the rest of the line up would go a long way to winning this

 

[social]

108-2 is still a massive achievement when you look at the last 2 balls

 

[Godard]

the people here who were dissing Jade are to blame. As soon as someone called Jadeja poor, he woke up

 

[Kraken]

Smudge due a score here (by his extraordinary standards)

This has innings defeat written all over it

****ing useless batting order can't keep getting bailed out by Juddu/Ashwin/Axar forever

 

[CricAddict]

Take out the number one batsman in the world and in comes the best batsman in the world.

Selectors have gone soft on the players , Gambhir and Sehwag didn't get the rope Pujara and Kohli have been given

 

[CricAddict]

This match is as good as gone due to the inept batting.

 

[Burgey]

Need one more decent partnership lads.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Here comes the champ Steven Smith

I mean cmon, Kohli is no Tendulkar, but he is at least a league ahead of Sehwag, and leagues ahead of Gambler.

 

[Burgey]

Smith has to be careful not to get dragged way outside off with a gap between bat and pad to Jadeja. He’s done him a few times that way this series

 

[TheJediBrah]

I mean cmon, Kohli is no Tendulkar, but he is at least a league ahead of Sehwag, and leagues ahead of Gambler.

lol no

 

[Burgey]

Wow, those balcony shots of Marnus show he’s really becoming a genuine receder these days

 

[Godard]

Kohli is great at home, not as good as home, but in Aus, SA way better than him, and also in Eng and NZ where he himself has poor records. People sometimes forget the series he had in SA 2018, SA 2013 and Eng 2018.
