*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Kirkut]

See, getting this batting line up out is not that easy. Imagine if Warner and Smith were playing.

**** SMarsh is going to ton up here isn't he

 

[OverratedSanity]

These two are their best players of spin. Key partnership.

 

[Zinzan]

**** SMarsh is going to ton up here isn't he

He's on 16.

And to think I said Smali was the no.1 Ghambirer with daylight second a few days back. He's suddenly getting some competition.

 

[Zinzan]

These two are their best players of spin. Key partnership.

Undoubtedly. I can't see their last 6 wickets getting anymore than 150 between them batting last, which means these two need to put on another 80-90 minimum.

We get it, Handscomb has an awful stance that makes him vulnerable to being terrible.

 

[Bolo]

Ya, turn would do some good. À whole of turn would be needed to be confident Ashwin could shred AUS for under 200.

Or any other offie for that matter. Excluding Lyon, I can't remember seeing an offie rip a side apart. When did thiis last happen?

In Australia.

 

[Spikey]

man i had forgotten that half the team needs to be dropped

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lmao Handscomb. Very good from shami, clearly a plan.

 

[stephen]

Drop this whole bloody batting side. There's no excuse for these soft dismissals when we're batting for a test FFS.

 

[cnerd123]

Shammiiiii

 

[Daemon]

Lol that shot is supposed to be one of the only advantages from batting deep in the crease. How ironic.

 

[morgieb]

The inner Victorian in Handscomb shining through.

 

[vcs]

I think I heard Vijay talking to Ashwin in Tamil there.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ah **** bumrah please be ok

 

[Daemon]

omg no bumrah no no no

 

[cnerd123]

Omg hope Bumrah is okay

Might be worth resting him for the remainder of this Test to ensure he's fit for the next one - we could probably still win this with just 3 bowlers.

 

[stephen]

Handscomb is a glorified domestic batsman. His technique means he'll never be successful at the top level. Lo and behold he's been found out again.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Omg hope Bumrah is okay

Might be worth resting him for the remainder of this Test to ensure he's fit for the next one - we could probably still win this with just 3 bowlers.

I dunno. Shami is made of glass and increasing his workload further wouldn't be smart.

Drop this whole bloody batting side. There's no excuse for these soft dismissals when we're batting for a test FFS.

Virtually the entire batting lineup is playing for their position in the team and that adds another layer of pressure

Anyway, we’re just going to have to cop losses until Smith returns, a couple of others emerge and the selectors are shot
