*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Spark]

Which ones are Victorians here?

Handscomb and Boland

 

[TheJediBrah]

This has been a nice little fight back but Aus have gone against the Golden Rule of Only One Victorian here so likely screwed

Bit of an asterisk but Murphy is from Echuca/Moama which is basically NSW so maybe we're ok

edit: Forgot about Handscomb too, 3 Victorians! Yikes

A pack of ****atoos in a desert? The **** is that ****. Also yeah just woke up eep. Warner unsurprising, rip Khawaja. Shockingly Aussies overseas batting yet again depends on these two.

I mean Khawaja has only been MOTS for the majority of our last few overseas tours.

No Head and Handscomb in is definitely a surprise. Renshaws and his inclusions make this team resemble the one that gave India a tough fight last time quite a bit.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I see that Ashwin has listened to me and is now coming from over the wicket

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Too much hyperbole from these commentators

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ashwin doing this weird **** with his action is never a good sign imo. Brings back memories of the 2012 England series.

 

[artvandalay]

Rohit is doing what he does in MI. Going by what the analyst told him about match-ups.

He is a very avg captain when left to his own devices. This myth that we were somehow missing out on a GOAT strategist bevause of MI winning ipls is just that.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shot!

tbf last series overseas I properly watched was 2019 Ashes. Was surprised at such an early dismissal for Khawaja.

He is ok but definitely over hyped as a tactician and as a captain.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jadeja looks a bit undercooked so far. Axar is going to have to do some heavy lifting.

 

[subshakerz]

Labu is clearly the real deal based on his handling of spin in this innings.

He got done by a DRS that was hitting by a toothpick when the ball was hooping, it happens.

 

[ashley bach]

Smith looks wired, his glaring eyes taking him off into another zone.

 

[Burgey]

Which ones are Victorians here?

Handscomb, Murphy, Boland

 

[Coronis]

Loved that one. Beauty

Also coverage listing Cummins as “bat/seam” lol

 

[sphynx]

Jesz, Marnus is in the zone, that was an increadible shot.

 

[Spark]

Going overboard to say there's a hint of VVS in that last shot by Marnus? Very few players who can do that these days.
