*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[GRAB]

Hope cricket administrators are noticing that contest between bat and ball is what makes cricket cricket and thrilling.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I really miss the channel nine camera work.

Wonder what Joe the Cameraman is up to these days?

Pretty much every country are now producing balanced wickets. Really it was only Australia that was producing wickets that were significantly batting-friendly, and there the Melbourne Test looks like a watershed moment.

 

[Burgey]

I mean, bowl at the ****ing stumps

Still less $$ for them in the short term. Why sacrifice short term gains for keeping cricket interesting long term?

 

[Gnske]

This is sad now, they've been trying to get edges from balls that are going to fly over the cordon.

 

[Starfighter]

I hope Paine is paying attention to the importance of third man in these conditions. Yes that one beat him, but it was silly not to have one.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Crap bowling to the last pair. They already have more than they need really though.

 

[Starfighter]

The three wooden things sticking up out the ground? Try aiming vaguely in their direction.

Will be torture for the Indian openers as much as anyone else this last wicket stand. So often Australia do this.

Yeah, but beating the bat over and over again makes a bowler feel good... (I thought it was only South African quicks who got stuck in that feedback loop to the tail...)

 

[silentstriker]

Interesting...

 

[Zinzan]

This is where Curtly & Waqar were so valuable. Even with the more capable tails you get today, their inswinging yorkers would be the tonic.

 

[Gnske]

Imagine letting this lead get to 300

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is so typical.

 

[MagicPoopShovel]

285 what are they DOING

 

[Starfighter]

Which idiots were suggesting declaring again?

smh

 

[Arachnodouche]

This partnership has cost us the series. I think we'd have been in decent spirits even losing while chasing 250, but this is just spiritually exhausting now. 3-1 to Aus.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Took them long enough to get the idea. Morons.

 

[Starfighter]

Aiming at the stumps works, derp.
