*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

What’s with the current habit of blokes walking off holding their bats by the blade? So many of them seem to do it. I can understand that half of them don’t know which end to hold, but it’s a weird thing which seems to have taken hold.

Also irritates the **** out of me when they do that while celebrating a landmark. Or they manage to hold it by the handle, but show the wrong face to the crowd. English batsmen seem to do this all the time.

Literally woke up to the very ball Head got out.

 

[Second Spitter]

Pant is officially more annoying than the Angry Ant. That takes effort.

 

[Arachnodouche]

The word "order" should not be attached to any section of this Aussie batting line-up.

Amla makes it look cool when he does it.

Pretty sure Amla started that?

First time you've ever woken up to Head

 

[stephen]

Our two most reliable batsmen at the crease.

Yeah tbf I usually have to initiate.

 

[vcs]

Yeah but Amla doesn't irritate me as much as the English blokes.

So maybe it's just who's doing it

Yeah but Jadeja got his wickets vs this Australian side so they're basically tail end wickets.

2 of them were Mitch Marsh which don't count obviously. Excellent that the spinners have had little say on the game.

Lyon getting schooled by the debutant was pretty great too.

Rahane is pretty much a tail ender against spin.

 

[stephen]

Pujara motm and mots for me. He's absolutely been the difference between the two sides. Just occupied the crease at viral times and his one true failure had come where the runs didn't matter.

 

[Daemon]

Lol at using Paine's leg gully tactic against him. If it works it'll be hilarious.

Ponting's first day comments seem so stupid now.

 

[Second Spitter]

"D'arcy Short"..... Lord have mercy.

 

[stephen]

Ponting's first day comments seem so stupid now.

What did he say? If it was about India batting too slow I agree with him. If this Australian batting lineup had any ticker at all this could easily have been a draw.

Darcy ****ing Short as opener
