*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

Batting standards have plummeted and it flatters the bowlers

Not really. We're in a **** era for batting really. Smith, Kohli, Williamson show it's easy enough to make runs.

Sure, and we've had a lot of bowler friendly pitches in the last few years as well.

But think of the strength of the bowling attacks from India, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, England...even Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and West Indies are putting out decent attacks on the park. And let's not forget Afghanistan - their bowling will no doubt catch people's attention over the next few years. When's the last time overall bowling quality has been this high?

 

[Burgey]

Expect Shami to clean up here with a bit of reverse tang, despite being bopped over long on for six towards the end.

 

[cnerd123]

I'm so glad Pat Cummins has such a **** team around him

Quality player

 

[aussie tragic]

Cummins has now scored more than Finch this series

 

[Burgey]

Fmd Cummins has the best technique for a number eight I’ve seen in ages.

Philander is really good. But yeah, Cummins is class.

He'll make 5 hundreds before he retires.

Fmd Cummins has the best technique for a number eight I’ve seen in ages.

a bit like Shaun Pollock may be. Of course he needs to score a lot of runs.

 

[stephen]

Cummins now has more runs than every first innings batsman.

 

[OverratedSanity]

4 boundaries through the slips off Shami. I swear this happens to him a lot more than most bowlers.

 

[stephen]

Commentator just said Mitch Marsh's batting pedigree is questionable. Langer to object.

 

[h_hurricane]

Cummins is one current Aussie cricketer who has ATGness written in him. It will be a shame if he cannot get himself on to the park more often than what he has done in last 7 years.

 

[Spikey]

150 run stand by the New South Welshmen and we've got this

 

[h_hurricane]

There he goes.

 

[Daemon]

Thank **** Warne isn't a selector

Darcy Short opening? Zampa? Richardson?

 

[ankitj]

Fmd Cummins has the best technique for a number eight I’ve seen in ages.

Pretty sure Pollcok played a lot at #8

 

[stephen]

Such a typical Starc wicket.

 

[stephen]

It was an entertaining innings. Only hope Sir Patrick can make a half century here.

 

[cnerd123]

haha what a ball first up to Lyon

 

[Second Spitter]

Somebody needs to tell Warne the series can be tied in Sydney.
