*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Starfighter]

Saw on cricinfo that viewership was down. Yep, sacrificing our test team to maintain an image for people who wouldn't watch in the first place sure was worth it.

 

[Red]

This is a chance for Shaun Marsh to show what he’s got.

 

[Daemon]

8 catches for Pant, just gone past his own record of 7 against England. The highest ever for India was from Saha against SA earlier this year. All 3 in 2018. Just goes to show what a decent bowling lineup can do and why keeping stats are largely bullshit.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Have neutral commentators always been a thing?

Anderson and Broad have been mentioned too often this test imo.

Skull is the only commentator who actually watches a decent amount of cricket.

 

[Starfighter]

Just got a feeling Ashwin has Marsh on a string.

 

[mr_mister]

Shoooot Marsh. He's back baby. Bat him 3!

 

[Bahnz]

Jeez unless Australia can find some batsmen this is going to be a long summer for them. So much resting on Khawaja atm.

 

[Starfighter]

With Paine our tail effectively starts at seven.

 

[Zinzan]

Essentially 3/44

Why 3? Someone injured?

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah Ponting let's not mention that Marsh was mostly cashing in on flat WACA decks.

 

[mr_mister]

Why 3? Someone injured?

I don't rate Marsh lol

 

[mr_mister]

Commentators are gonna gush over every Marsh scoring shot lol. He must be the nicest bloke ever because we seemingly love the guy

 

[Son Of Coco]

I'm calling it now. Marsh will get us home from here.

 

[Starfighter]

Well at least he's not gonna get another single figures score in a row.

Such a shame Finch didn't review. You can already see Ashwin is not quite as confident as in the first innings.

 

[Zinzan]

I don't rate Marsh lol

You and me both.

 

[Starfighter]

Bumrap has generally been either slightly too short or significantly too wide.

 

[cnerd123]

Shammiiiii

It's these two or bust for Australia. Handscomb and Head could pull off some cameos but these two have to do the bulk of the damage.

 

[Borges]

Ashwin, even after that gift, is looking distinctly ordinary.

 

[trundler]

I sense a partnership coming.

 

[Starfighter]

I sense a partnership coming.

Needs to be a 270 partnership. I suppose Marsh has been involved in a record partnership. With our batting I wouldn't be confident even if we were within 50 with six in hand.
