    1 v 2 in the world. Kohli working extra hard to market the series and gain media attention History of healthy rivalry if not a little outright hostility at times Good a case could be made that they should have scheduled 5 tests not 3

    Australian Test Selection Thread 2017 - 2018

    Number 6 has three possible tasks 1) Part time bowling (eg Watson, MMarsh) 2) Bat with the tail (MHussey, SWaugh) 3) Provide quick batting to pick up tempo after upper order has ground the opp bowling or going for a declaration (Lehmann) Maxwell has ability to do 3, and if Smith learns to...

    Australian Test Selection Thread 2017 - 2018

    OK so Renshaw, Warner, Smith, Handscomb or locked in, Wade will be preserved with, Khawaja will return once out of the subcontinent. So three issues are:who gets 6, which spin option (Lyon more spin, O'keefe more control and handy bat) and if Starc returns from injury who do you pick from...

    *****, Teams generally have a team rule about nightwatchmen and it is decided before the match. It would not have been done on the spur of the moment

    I'll give Kohli the benefit of doubt in this case but if failing over when fielding is counted as an external injury that makes an easy way to arrange yourself a rest break. Making batters stay out in field and wearing them, so that after a couple of days they find it hard to bat. Teams with a...

    For some strange reason I have the song, "My friend the p(w)itch doctor, told me what to do" going through my mind Quite annoying. Maybe it is time to just accept it as part of the game, however at the same time lets even up the score for all touring sides and abolish the toss and let the...

    How about penalty runs for offenses? 50 runs per offence. Money don't hurt, suspension doesn't always hurt but penalty runs would make the whole team peeved at the action.

    How much was the toss worth, normaly figure about 50... India got the advatage and on this pitch batting last was always going to be extremely difficult

    The Dismantling of India

    First missed some points... Recruit at least one, preferably two absolutely gun close in fielders to ensure that half chances are taken Get young, quick reflexed batsman who can play spin

    India failed to put any real workload on Starc and Hazelwood in this test. Bird bowled well in the warm up game and Pattinson is back and playing shield. SOK Starc Pattinson Hazelwood Would make a great bowling combo and a strong tail, almost makes up for having no batsman at 6 and 7 but...
