*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Burgey]

What a moment for Steve Smith to stand and sing the National Anthem with my good friend and local mamber, the Hon Anthony Norman Albanese MP.

 

[Gnske]

Lol India your simp leader won't even sing his own national anthem

 

[anil1405]

So basically the only toss India won this series was in a match where they shouldn't have won the toss and batted.

 

[centurymaker]

Way too political!

Hasn't even felt like a start to test match yet.

Lol India your simp leader won't even sing his own national anthem

We have to sing songs of praise about him I think

 

[Burgey]

Starts with a Harmo

 

[Spark]

Do they leave so much grass on the ends to protect the run-ups? Because it honestly looks almost as if they've prepared a pitch only 18 yards long, kind of amusing

 

[Starfighter]

Maybe Shami thought they were playing on the other pitch.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez the Indian slippers really putting their bodies on the line there...

First over produces runs, byes, leg byes and a wide. Only a no ball is missing.

First ball of the Ashes series was like a triple wide.

 

[Spark]

Still a better first over than Rabada's at the MCG.

 

[Spark]

Meanwhile, don't think the batsmen are going to have to worry too much about anything above shoulder height here...

 

[ashley bach]

Don't think Travis will allow himself to get bogged down here.

 

[GotSpin]

This bounce is terrible

 

[Spark]

Dunno the point of such a stacked slips cordon when most balls aren't reaching the keeper on the full

 

[ashley bach]

Albo looking somewhat tense.

 

[Niall]

First ball of the Ashes series was like a triple wide.

Was it not Burns been dismissed to a straight ball?

Didn't get much better for England after that!

 

[ashley bach]

Can't imagine Biden and Putin going through anything similar.
