*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

debuting in Aus is not an easy task at all

But it's at the MCG, which for a batsman is essentially like debuting in Karachi.

Batting average in Australia is one of the highest (was the highest when I checked sometime last year). No easier place to debut for a batsman.

Guys,the mcg is flat subcontinental wicket,India can easily score a mammoth total and blow away the spineless Aussie batting line up with spin and pace and beat them by an innings.Here are my predictions

India 750 all out- Kohli 280,Pujara 210
Aus 270 and 155 all out ( 10 wickets each for Bumrah and Jadeja)

The best thing about these posts is that they're actually meant to be Threads on their own. Some spoilsport mod combines them with this boring thread instead

This is a clash of strategy. And of methods, culture and politics. This is a new-era rivalry. Not as ancient as the Ashes, or as passionate as India-Pakistan. Two countries that are so different, yet share rampant egotism, high self-opinion and a belief that being born in their country is superior to other births. This brings together a belligerent bunch of brats, bullies and braggers.

Bring on the battle of the brats and the bullies.

What does India have to be egotistical about ffs?

I remember when people said on here 18 months ago India were spoilt for choice trying to fit in Rahul, Vijay and Dhawan into the 2 openers spots.

Now you've got these two noobies

[Burgey]

Pitch is flat and slow

Pitch is flat and slow

Much like Melbourne itself.

Every year I forget how annoying the C9 commentators are.

Pipe down once in a while FFS.

 

[Prince EWS]

C9 commentators

Haha, about that...

 

[morgieb]

Given how grassy this wicket is the way it’s playing is flat out disgraceful.

 

[Spikey]

Vihari seems to be doing really well except for scoring runs

 

[ajdude]
