*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

Yeah that's the sound of the door closing on Vijay. If Shaw retains his form when he comes back, should be the end of the line for Rahul too. He will end up being our test match Uthappa.

Agarwal has been a revelation for this India side. Top technique and gutsy character.

 

[stephen]

This is good batting and every run is a dagger into Australia's heart.

It doesn’t matter

We need a blockathon

 

[stephen]

Tony Abbott was right, we should have knighthoods so that we can make Sir Patrick Cummins really happen.

 

[Burgey]

Is a five fer in a losing side as rewarding as cricket’s ultimate individual prize - a hundred in a losing side?

jadeja here for some downhill skiing

 

[stephen]

Sir Patrick could quite possibly get a ten- fer in a match where his side losses by 300 runs after their opponents declare twice.

 

[social]

India could declare now, give us 20 wickets and still win comfortably

 

[stephen]

The problem with this discussion about giving Cummins the new ball is that doing so neuters one of Hazlewood or Starc. Both of which are far better with the new ball and some swing.

Cummins would be devastating with the new ball though.

What would be the WTF calls from NZ in tests over last few years? Those from Shastri in SA and England have been well documented on this site.

Just quickly with no detail, Doug bracewell for test squads again (and potentially odi 6), Seth rance, Neil broom, anaru kitchen, southee in odis, George worker as test cover

Edit- sodhi in tests

 

[Essexboi]

Must be tough being an Aussie right now, skipper arguing wides....tough break Tim.

 

[aussie tragic]

Is it fair to say Paine has kept poorly this match?

I recall comms used to say a lot that a sign of a good keeper is you don't notice him and I seem to have noticed him a lot this match (not taking cleanly, dropped catch, 20 byes....)

 

[stephen]

Cummins deserves these freebie wickets. Has been super unlucky so far this series.

 

[Flem274*]

Noice cummins

 

[aussie tragic]

Nice of India to bat on and allow Cummins to get his best Test figures

 

[Niall]

Nothing to be gained by India continuing to bat whatsoever.

 

[Flem274*]

Should have declared with him on 4fer or on the hat trick ball just to be massive dicks

 

[ajdude]

how many times do we see hotspot out of range? crazy

Aaron Redmond too, I still don't know how he scythed a test out for himself after so many years in the abyss.
