*Official* Australia in India 2023

[OverratedSanity]

Is Agarwal not even in the squad? I get that he sucked overseas, but he's a valuable home track bully to have as a backup.

Or India can just do the right thing and pick Shaw already.

They r not even dng the simpler thing of playing the in-form Gill.


Think Mayank Shaw and Sarfraz will all play the Irani Trophy which is good for them. Hopefully Washy does as well.

Venkatesh Prasad with another thread on KL Rahul ?

Nice poster

4-0, 3-0 or 3-1.

If it's anything else, India will still make the WTC final so long as Sri Lanka don't win 2-0 in NZ.

I heard if India win 4-0 vs Aust & SL win 2-0 vs NZ, it's Australia who misses out.

I think the thing that annoys me most is that a lot of what happened yesterday was obviously premeditated which is just... not how you should play in Test cricket, regardless of whether you're attacking or defending. You should play each ball on its own merits, regardless of your own personal scheme for assessing those merits, and in your own way. I still don't understand what Smith was trying to achieve with his shot when it's not his shot, especially after Kohli had clearly demonstrated that you can succeed on that pitch simply by hitting anything pitched up through the line of the ball and playing back and to the legside to anything else off the back foot. If there's one thing you can trust Steve Smith to do, it's playing off the back foot into the legside. But instead he decides to premeditate a massive sweep off middle stump and misses the ball by a foot.

I really wonder how many times he played that shot in 2017 when he got three hundreds. It can't have been many. Certainly not when he wasn't in full slog mode.



Like I said earlier the selection is honestly a red herring. The players, individually, are actually good enough in terms of skill. The mindset is the problem.

This is 100% on the money. It was what I was trying to say previously but way more eloquent. What were we thinking and how did they arrive at that plan??

That would be why 4-0 keeps India safe

Gutsy option to recall a 68 year old veteran like him

Gill still better.

 

[duffer]

nahh this is getting to cringe levels now, he has already made his point, should move on now.

The Karnataka on Karnataka violence seen here is next level though

 

[Prince EWS]

Gill still better.

Yeah "third best opener in a cherry-picked data set not relevant to the current series" is probably the worst defence ever.

 

[srbhkshk]

Venkatesh to receive multiple awards from Maharashtra soon.

Yeah I personally think this is getting from "harsh but fair" into "needlessly personal" now.

Johnson will be in commentary box in next 2 Tests . Will he have a go at Cummins for Langer treatment?

I don't think anyone will have a go at Cummins now knowing how he is having personal distress.
