*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Arachnodouche]

That was actually a really important little knock from Handscomb. Chipping away with that sort of partnership is something Aus hasn't done this series, they've lost a lot of wickets in bundles.

Hayden thinks he was a sitting duck with his tuktuk

 

[Spark]

Holy **** that's unlucky

 

[Burgey]

Oooof tight on height.

Still plenty on offer on this deck given how old the ball is which India is using. Got to scramble a hundred run lead here.

 

[Spark]

Good decision, that was nicking the corner of leg stump!

 

[R!TTER]

Imagine been a Indian selector and picking Umesh on this pitch over Kuldeep and not been ashamed of yourself.

Imagine leaving out your best pacer in India over the last decade & thinking oh we need 5 bowlers here. You could've left both seamers out, at least Umesh can tonk a few like Shami. Siraj can't & he's basically been useless for 4 innings now!

 

[Gob]

****ing Joel Wilson

 

[Spark]

Definitely time to go for it now.

 

[TT Boy]

Surprised that was hitting. You saw a decent amount of leg stump when it hit Green.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hopefully he decided to take a bat rather than a broom out to the middle this time.

I don't mind if he plays super positively here in theory, I just don't like that his idea of batting super positively is to sweep or reverse sweep every ****ing ball. Use your feet or something ffs.

First ball is of course a ****ing paddle sweep.

 

[Burgey]

Starc won't hang around to **** spiders you'd reckon

 

[Bahnz]

Australia’s tail has really gotta scrap for runs here. If the lead is less than 100 I could easily see India scoring 250 in their 2nd innings and Australia falling in a heap.

 

[Prince EWS]

Starc won't hang around to **** spiders you'd reckon

Imagine if he did though.

 

[Spark]

This is unfortunate.

 

[Burgey]

Excellent from my man Nostrils Yadav

 

[Burgey]

Lyon with nosebleeds at nine.

 

[Raz0r6ack]

4-186 to 200 all out.

 

[morgieb]

Urgh. We’ve done pretty much everything right yet we’re still not going to get the lead we need to be ahead in the match.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I can't believe Umesh Yadav is 35 , what an athlete

 

[Gnske]

Losing wickets to Umesh Yadav is unironically embarassing

 

[Burgey]

Beaten on the inside edge again. Should have swept it
