*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Exactly how I've always advocated finger spinners should be treated. About time.

Especially when you have the shots that these two have

 

[ankitj]

Time to panic

 

[Spark]

Yeah put the pull shot away now

If he is going to play it, he's much better off doing the front foot pull that he only seems to play when trying to hit sixes. Right now his issue is that he's not watching the ball

"Beautiful day in the capital" says Shastri. "Perfect day for cricket" says Hayden(?), as the cameras at one end of the ground can barely pick up the grandstand at the other.

 

[Burgey]

Have to agree with the commentators, this has been a very good spell first up by Siraj.

I don't think he's as good as the other fast bowlers in India's first choice stable but it's easy to see why he gets so many games. Hell of a competitor, proper old school fast bowler's mentality

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I think he got a few wickets in CC with it. Some of them very dirty.

To be honest I don't think he's much worse than Devon Thomas.

Yeah that did happen, can't remember who though

 

[Burgey]

lol Warner wants to wind up here and is checking himself to the point he looks beyond awful. Fighting hard though, tbf to him

 

[Burgey]

Welp, after last week I'll certainly settle for that first hour.

 

[duffer]

Time to panic

Yeah, giving Smith and Marnus a platform is not ideal

 

[morgieb]

Khawaja's been a very lucky boy this Test.

 

[Spark]

This all feels very sketchy but can't complain about 0/50

 

[GotSpin]

This all feels very sketchy but can't complain about 0/50

Definitely take it

 

[Shri]

50-0

 

[anil1405]

We needed this to get our foot back on ground.

 

[Shri]

khawaja playing spin well. playing inside the line without being bothered about the turn away

 

[Daniel CC]

Yeah, giving Smith and Marnus a platform is not ideal

Labuschagne's record in the sub-continent isn't that good

 

[Spark]

Geez that's a good nut

EDIT: On second thoughts not as good as I thought. Just the usual issue from Warner getting squared up around off stump from that around the wicket line

One of the journos flew into Delhi a couple of days ago & couldn’t see the buildings next to the airport from the tarmac

Warner is just a sitting duck atm
