Can someone please shoot Shane Warne and Slats already

And Sanjay Manjrekar. All this excitement about waking up early to watch the series was half dead after seeing Manjrekar as the host in the studio.

Well, for a start I'm naturally quite a late bird, so the timezone isn't as bad as might seem for me personally. But it's just nice to relax at night and watch some cricket without the hassle of daytime activities and what not. Also gives off nice summer vibes when it's wet, cold and dark in December.

Yeah, fully agree with this. All night cricket has its own charm.

 

[wiff]

Good over

 

[Cevno]

Decent first over from Shami.

 

[Jarquis]

Throwing it out there - and you can all find this when he gets selected in a few Tests and takes 8 - but Yadav is overrated on here

 

[Dan]

Opening the bowling around the wicket to left handers. Ugh, straight from the U/12Es #AmateurHour

 

[Cevno]

Aaron opening from the other end.

Interesting.

 

[Cabinet96]

Lol at opening a test match bowling in swingers to left handers and starting around the wicket. Village.

Edit: Fu Dan.

Ashwin's bowling likewise.

Aaron is over-rated everywhere. And you can duly dig this up when he takes 8 in this Test.

 

[Cevno]

Why is Manjrekar mentioning a Bouncer after each ball ?

 

[anil1405]

Why is Manjrekar mentioning a Bouncer after each ball ?

Coz he is a ****

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah this isn't going to be pretty for India.

 

[Dan]

I don't think 'risky' quite does justice to the questionable tactic of leaving out your best fast bowler and your best spinner.

AWTA

Sure, he's probably overrated, but the competition is Varun Aaron -- a similar bowler who isn't nearly as good -- and Mohammad Shami -- who has regressed dramatically.

 

[Pup Clarke]

The grassy bank is no more.

 

[Gnske]

Warner is looking particularly intent today

 

[Dan]

Why is Manjrekar mentioning a Bouncer after each ball ?

Channel 9 comms are doing the same thing tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Jesus Christ Warner. He's just thrashing at everything. He'll either be a ton by lunch or will carve off to point for 30 odd.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah Umesh is way better than Aaron.

 

[Dan]

This around the wicket thing is a genuinely idiotic tactic.
