*Official* Australia in India 2023

[subshakerz]

He really should have been playing this whole series instead of Siraj

We forget that he was the best pace bowler of the 2017 series.

 

[Brook's side]

Khawaja's so easy on the eye.

Do you think India would have won the test series in South Africa if they played Umesh Yadav instead of Siraj ?

 

[Gob]

Pujara will bat for 2 days on this

 

[GotSpin]

really need to amass a huge total here

Hard to say. Yadav to me is a third seamer but Siraj's bite is not as strong as his bark.

 

[Spark]

Might take a while. Definitely need to still be batting deep into the second session tomorrow though

Didn't Siraj send Warner home with a fracture in the arm? I get the love for Umesh but come on, it wasn't like Siraj was terrible in the first 2 Tests.

Yes and in hindsight that was the worst thing he could have possibly done

That actually was a bad thing for India , Warner was ****?

 

[GotSpin]

Smitty could look to push a few more singles here

 

[Xix2565]

Head isn't exactly that much better to justify an injury.

 

[Spark]

Head isn't exactly that much better to justify an injury.

He hasn't had great returns but Warner probably wouldn't have made double figures. Head at least has had a few decent looking cameos.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Plus there were calls for Head to be in the Test Team , Head opening the batting opened up a place for Green

 

[Prince EWS]

Was thinking this could be a good pitch for Carey's broom if he doesn't take the ****ing piss with it.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Axar Patel is averaging over a 100 with the ball for the series , pretty criminal when you consider how much the first three tests favored spin

 

[Nintendo]

Don't know how where going to take 20 wickets on this unless it massively breaks up. There's not a ton of assistance/overspin and it's slower, don't think Lyon will role India again on this deck, and I'm not sold on kunhenann being a consistent threat when the decks not offering him a ton.

He hasn't been allowed to bowl long enough to settle in a spell.

India's aren't bowling poorly. They are keeping it tight and staying in the game. Australia will need to be patient as well.

Just need some patience here. Gotta put on 400-500 east
