*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

I prefer this trumpeter to the Barmy Army one

Throughout this innings, a line from old Pathé footage has kept popping up in my mind. Seems apt for the situation.

"If this is cricket I'd rather join the army and go see the world"

 

[trundler]

Hope Pant bats like he has a functioning brain and gets some runs.

If they declare 10 overs before play at 450, I'll be really annoyed. Either score quicker and get 500 atleast before contemplating declaration or just bat into day 3.

I like the rough just in fron of the lefties off stump. Its probably too full and straight to be dangerous hut we are talking about au batsmen.

 

[Borges]

Bat (plod) well into day three, I say. There's another test match left in the series.

Yeah at this stage they may as well bat once and bat big and go for 500 even if it eats into day 3

 

[Shri]

If these two get us to 450, Pant and jaddu can take us to 600.

 

[mr_mister]

150 is a lot to expect from those two tbh.

 

[Gnske]

Bat out the whole five days I say. Consider this, it's flat, this match is going the way of the birds. Sydney coming up, save your bowlers the pain of bowling here and grind the Australian attack into the absolute dirt, burn them.

Siddddddle

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ahahahahaha Siddle

 

[Ausage]

There's your Victorian Melbourne.

 

[Spark]

that is hideous

 

[Ausage]

Lyon looking ropeable there.

 

[mr_mister]

Last thing hel do on the test field lol

 

[mr_mister]

Rohit shoulda said you've just dropped the Border Gavaskar Cup

 

[Spark]

Lyon looking ropeable there.

fair enough too

 

[vicleggie]

Excellent work by Siddle, depriving a New South Welshman of a wicket

 

[Burgey]

Thanks for that. He also said it was lucky no one was killed. Reckon it was an awful pitch and anyone who thinks it’s “good for cricket” and “heaven forbid batsmen are discomforted” can bat on it to better appreciate the distinction between a fair contest and a blood sport.

Had a very different attitude between 1974 and 1977, did Dennis
