*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Burgey]

Jadeja pulling rank on the n00b to come and bat five on an eight lane highway is precisely the sort of move you love to see.

 

[Burgey]

What'd he say? Most people don't really know how drift works.

He was just talking about how important it is to drag players into playing the wrong line, gave a few good examples of it and how he tried to get it to go. Was rare gold from this comms team.

Should have been Axar tbh.

Good argument to be made for Bharat to bat no higher than 9 in this innings.

 

[Burgey]

Hell to the No for the new ball thanks

 

[centurymaker]

I am glad I didn't place that bet on Kohli (under 50 runs).

Pitch still flat enough.

 

[Raz0r6ack]

I'd wait til the morning session to take the new ball.

6. Iyer
7. Axar
8. Ashwin
9. Bharat
10. Yadav
11. Shami

Maybe Kholi is ageing everyday and can be bothered with hate anymore

Okay that's fine.

Most people don't understand how the ball actually drifts. It isn't the sidespinning component, but the forward/back spinning top-like competent that generates the drift. Finger spinners tend to cant the ball upwards more, which is why they often drift it as much or more than wrist spinners despite tending to put fewer revs on it. Ashwin does it quite prominently.

 

[Burgey]

Lyon’s control since the first test has been so good. Even on this where there’s so little in it he’s barely bowled a bad ball. Probably bowled consistently as well this series as he ever has.

 

[Burgey]

Might be outside the line. Decent shout though

edit: smashed it

 

[Spark]

Geez that looked out to me

EDIT: Lmao never mind

 

[OverratedSanity]

The left right combo obsession has gotten way overboard if they really think sending Jadeja ahead of Iyer on a flat deck is a good move.

 

[Burgey]

Both teams with one review left. going to get interesting if it starts turning a bit

 

[Burgey]

When Smith and Kohli did that horrendously awkward piece to camera out here before the last series it genuinely looked like they’d never spoken to each other before in their lives. Now they’re out there having a chat every over like they’re best mates.

Breaks my heart to see it

 

[Shri]

maybe everyone was right about our pitches turning too much huh ?

 

[Burgey]

Might be worth a bit of Head before stumps at some point

If this goes 480 vs 500 vs 3/200 then it should get a crap rating like the last one

 

[Test fan]

Another long day await in the field for Aussie .
