*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

Good to see Peter use his hands to catch and not to comb.

 

[Spark]

hahaha, salty language there

 

[stephen]

"I'm hearing ****" hahaha

 

[Spark]

umesh increasingly trying to bat from square leg here

 

[Daemon]

And to be fair veganbob has shown a commanding ignorance of Smith's role in the tampering scandal.

lol



ya

Why are Australian fans so sensitive? Very, very interesting phenomenon.


Anyways, this is an embarrassing effort tstl. They've given up pretty much. Pant needs to bat like a proper ****ing batsman.

 

[Spark]

bowl at the pegs mitch, unless this is a deliberate strategy to make them uncomfortable

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's a ritual now

It's easy to be sensitive to uninformed drivel clogging up the forum.

 

[stephen]

This is like shooting fish in a barrel here.

 

[Spark]

this reminds me a lot of england in the 2013/14 ashes with respect to being 5-out --> all out

 

[Burgey]

Nah, **** 'em tbh. They dished out plenty because they think they've got a class pace attack these days, they can have it back. In spades.

I dunno man, I see an extremely sensitive Indian fan who's clearly triggered by something making outrageous accusations and an Australian fan sensibly and maturely correcting him

If your first thought on that exchange is "Why are Australian fans so sensitive?" then I think you need may have a bias

 

[smash84]

the suffering is over for yadav, thankfully he didn't catch one in the nostrils, Starc bowling pretty quick

not a bad strategy tbf

 

[Immenso]

Yadav's wicket looks so bad in the wickets montage without the context of the preceding barrage.

 

[Spark]

not a bad strategy tbf

yeah it is very reminiscent of the strategy against the english tail back in that series - basically, frighten them until they knock one up in the air

 

[Shri]

fmd

 

[GoodAreasShane]

There is a risk in overdoing the short stuff to the tail, just remember Stuart Broad last year. Slashed at everything like a giraffe on cocaine, nothing remotely convincing but it was effective for a while.

That being said, this lot are all more inept with the willow than Broad is

 

[stephen]

Cummins getting a well earned wicket.

 

[Spark]

yeah this is kind of painful to watch in a way
