*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[stephen]

Top day of cricket so far. The Indian Gambhiring is probably justified at this point.

Except that I almost forgot how fragile our batting is. With some of these staying low a couple of good balls is all it takes and India are right back into it.

I'm glad we aren't facing Bhuvi. Others may disagree but I reckon he's India's best pace bowler except in very flat conditions.

 

[stephen]

Feels like a while since I've actually watched a hundred opening stand from us.

The problem in recent times has not been our starts. I'm used to us getting 3/300 and then collapsing to 350 AO. Without Smith and Warner that's changed though and now I basically expect 150 AO most innings'.

 

[Tangles]

Never call a game this early but geez India look set to be fielding for days.

Umesh such a spray gun.

 

[GotSpin]

We need to grind India into the ground today and tomorrow

 

[Prince EWS]

tbh both are more like Langer himself. left handers love a good thrash through cover point

I think Head is scarily like Hughes. I don't tend to mention it because I think any mention of Hughes as if he's just any other player is still a bit how's your father, but yeah. Harris is more like Langer.

Won't get any arguments from Indian fans on this.

Totally agree. The goal should be to declare with 15 overs left to bowl tomorrow.

 

[Starfighter]

Vihari bowling flying saucers.

 

[mr_mister]

Early call but this bloke doesn't look test standard

 

[stephen]

Vihari with an excellent economy rate so far.

I'm sure I've been told here that Shami should be the first selected.

Smith was a nailed on double if he'd played. Then again it seemed like he tonned up every time he played India.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Finally feels like we've arrived Down Under. I think I'll play Business As Usual this weekend.

 

[stephen]

Maybe Smith was banned out of some weird backdoor mercy deal between CA and the BCCI.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm sure I've been told here that Shami should be the first selected.

Not much between them tbh but bhuvi is much more dependable. Shami is crazy up and down.

 

[mr_mister]

Bumrah the clear best

 

[Starfighter]

That's a lot of appeal from one person.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lol Vihari. Bloke isn't a 5th bowlers arsehole.
