*Official* Australia in India 2023

Whatever it takes!!!
i dont think the Karun Nair 300 century test was anything more than a flat road:laugh:
It was literally days after one of the biggest cyclones ever in India hit Chennai too. Literally the eye passed through the center of the city. Amazing week and the cricket helped entire city recover faster IMO.

Wondering about possible ways in which they can **** this up
In this test, our guys have one upped yours on that. So dont worry. They cant beat our **** up in the first innings both when batting and bowling. That day 1 has cost us the test.

What is the lowest total to be successfully defended in tests? Spofforth game was it

Yeah they should get there but the thing is you can't except absolutely anything below Starc so if India get Australia 20 for 3, cats will be amongst pigeons. Bit like that Gabba run chase vs South Africa

Yeah honestly Kohli should get dropped but once you’ve achieved a certain level of success for a team they basically won’t drop you.
I would be interested to hear the defenders of Kohli's in the media if he doesn't score in the last test. Like failing in a high profile series should have consequences but so far it's Teflon Kohli.

I understand it's sport and you have to give proven players a long rope when they're in the dumps but no modern professional environment would tolerate this level of ineptitude. Outside of Milton from Office Space, can you imagine anyone surviving for as long as these guys without doing ****all? Ridiculous.

Only reason India won last test was the Axar-Ashwin partnership. It was every bit as important as Sundar-Shardul partnership in the Gabba test.
Yup. Australia were ahead for the first half of that game.

India just seem to go to the next level bowling wise when it comes to second innings tho.

Assuming Australia do go on to win the test, and it's possible to do so, will India provide a road of a pitch for the final test to ensure the best chance of avoiding defeat.

In the good old days, 500 plays 500 type pitches were not uncommon on the SC.
our lineup is so mediocre, it will collapse against a good attack even on roads...
