*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[Burgey]

Following in the steps of Craig McDermott then.

Still another two weeks for the real cricket to start. Ugh.

We're getting there, slowly but surely.

 

[quincywagstaff]

lol. Against the mighty Brad Williams? Tough series

Australia won the MCG Test of that series with Williams & Nathan Bracken in their bowling quartet; underrated achievement to win that Test in hindsight.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Foxtel would be delighted with their ratings for the T20 last night, reaching over 450k which would have to be amongst their highest ratings in years. It should be noted that it rated far higher than anything Ch 10 broadcast on FTA (who made a big error in not going all out for the rights until too late).

 

[aussie tragic]

Channel 9 had 1.3 million viewers per T20i last year so foxtel well short

 

[cnerd123]

Would you look at that. The rain stayed away for once and India managed to win.

Not such an alpha team without the weather to save them hey?

 

[Burgey]

Agreed. India is very Beta. Watching them, the support staff and their fans last night live at the ground was like watching the world wide Incel Convention.

 

[GeorgeFowell]

India need to make the best use of Rohit Sharma's form.

 

[Burgey]

Bumrah’s action is nowhere near as hideous live as it looks on tv, for whatever reason.

 

[Shri]

Its like he designed it specifically to not get called out by #cheatingaussies for chucking.

 

[GotSpin]

No chance for this tour match

 

[stephen]

100mm of rain and flash flooding are predicted I think.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Game will start in December then?

 

[Burgey]

Should have had it in England in June.

This is fantastic. It's worth a few houses and cars being washed away in the name of depriving India match practice ahead of the first test.

Robert road has a bit of a slope to it. Hope Balmain gets flooded just enough to be irritating.

 

[Burgey]

As you would expect, I live on higher ground.

 

[Shri]

Seriously though, drive safe man.

 

[jimmy101]

A four Test series really warrants more than one warm up game, would be a shame to see this match washed out.

 

[harsh.ag]

Would be a shame for India to miss out on facing the attack of Harry Conway, Jackson Coleman, David Grant and Daniel Fallins, who, combined, have played a total of 22 FC games.

Looks like Australia are no better than SL when it comes to being poor hosts
