*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[OverratedSanity]

Haha Pant is so good he always keeps chirping he always has fun out there maggle

 

[Shri]

****, I'd get myself out just to get away from Pant.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It is a pity for the Indian team when they win this seriers, there will always be an asterisk against the series because of CA's SJW pandering actions of massively over penalizing Australia's two best batmen and a guy who was our best pick for opener. Drop Kohli, Pujara and Kohli from th Indian side and this would have been a more even contest. India would have been competitive with their much improved bowling line up but the bowlers got robbed by CA from the chance to bowl to a batting line up with 3 out of 6 guys out of it.

Why would you drop Kohli twice?

And how on earth is Bancroft your best opener? He only averages 30 in test cricket and with the exception of England wouldnt make any of the top 8 test match sides.
Khawaja (as an opener), Burns, and the out-of-form Renshaw are all much beter

 

[mr_mister]

So Pant has 9 for the match. Can't be far away from the record surely

 

[silentstriker]

And people were saying 200 runs would be enough....

Yes, the record is 10 by Saha earlier this year.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Actually it hit his forearm as was visible from most angles.

Pretty sure I'm not wrong and I never have been. The replays were wrong and so are you. **** the umpires.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yes, the record is 10 by Saha earlier this year.

I miss Saha

 

[CricAddict]

And people were saying 200 runs would be enough....

Yes, will still stand by that point.

 

[Burgey]

Pant can have a bit of a yap about that.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Last few overs have been very loose.

 

[Burgey]

12 off the last two overs with just sensible batting. Good stuff, but too little too late me thinks

 

[ajdude]

paine doesn’t look comfortable here

 

[Burgey]

This is the best I've seen Ishant Sharma bowl. Been good all test.

Edit: look how far across Paine's getting here.

 

[Burgey]

Paine's either going to be made to look a fool or a genius by batting like this

 

[Burgey]

If Australia had rotated the strike this well in the first dig they'd be within about 60 odd by now.

Paralysed by fear of getting out

 

[CricAddict]

Looks like Rohit has done his lower back. Not sure how serious it is, but he needs to be rested for either Vihari or Jadeja next test.

The first innings was a case of opportunities wasted by the Australian batsmen.

The second innings was a case of opportunities wasted by the Australian batsmen.

I'm beginning to see a pattern here but I'm not sure what it is.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah it's probably no coincidence it's the blokes who are safest in the side who have been doing rotating strike best - Paine is skipper and won't be dropped, Head coming off a first dig 70 and now the bowlers.
