***Official*** India's Tour of Australia 2020/21 - General discussion

Tbh, if a cricket novice like me could come up with the same tactic, is it really that genius? Looks like Ashwn and Vihari figured it out themselves as well anyway.

It’s pretty clear Shastri has a lot of say regarding team tactics though, like the batting order changes. Makes me wonder how much of the decision making credit belongs to Shastri vs Rahane.

Isn't it clear? It was always Shastri show once Virat left. Rahane might have certain inputs here or there but given how big a figure is Shastri in the team, it is obvious he called most of the shots. He is deified by the players

That Ashwin interview is great

It sounds simple now that it worked, but allowing one bowler to set you up big time is generally not considered all that great for the batsman.

tbf we have low expectations given what we've seen from some management in the past

[cnerd123]

can't wait for the episode on the Gabba test. It's going to be brilliant.

 

[andruid]

Yeah I think it’s from last tour. Plus, the average online Indian fan has really developed a far more sophisticated sense of humour since then...

Hadn't noticed that detail. Only saw it if fb a few days ago

 

[Senile Sentry]

Love the earthen Chennai humour from the two. Of course Forum Oldies wouldn't understand it - but as someone who has lived in Chennai, the translation doesn't give full justice to the usages by Sridhar and Ashwin.

BTW, WTF is up with the Indian players not allowed in the lift when the Aussie players are there? Aren't they part of the same bubble? Seems it was an issue only from Sydney.

"Ajinkya Rahane Politely Refuses to Cut 'Kangaroo Cake'"

And this man was accused by random English men of ****houssery.

I loved one anecdote there. Seems the Aussie players were watching videos to analyze and form bowling plans for the next day and they were showing Pujara batting. Hazlewood apparently just threw down his cap and said "I have seen enough of his batting. We just saw it out there, dont make me watch it here again" and left.

Also interesting that apparently Tim Paine spoke to the Indian coaches during lunch at MCG 1st day and agreed with them that the Virtual Eye was weird as he had had issues with it during the series against NZ too. Elite Honesty.

Paine will find a way to tell him that he is not liked by any of his team mates.

That Hazlewood thing was a true anecdote? Thought it was just a joke about how they would have felt about analysis of Pujara?

Lack of Class.

 

[honestbharani]

I only listened once but it did seem like a funny but true anecdote. May have been from the last series or maybe something they saw in the Amazon documentary, I guess.

Shridhar said it actually happened, not sure how it couldve leaked from the aussie dressing room though.

Probably has started counting how many friends Rahane has in FB

and everything instantly became clear

Would recommend that ashwin video to non-Indians too, good that he's started adding subtitles now. They seem to not like Paine that much lmao but their respect for Cummins and Hazelwood is obvious in every video they've put out so far.
