*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

So what happens now when Saha comes back? Going to be tough for Saha to retain his place again.

Or Pujara is a God and India bat well around him.

Doesn't explain the 200 run 7th wicket partnership.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

So India have declared two tests in a row in the first innings. Either we have the most overrated bowling attack in the world, the pitches are the biggest roads or the coach is horrid and needs to be sacked. Or maybe some combination of the three.

Saker is pretty well regarded isn't he?

They dropped Finn in 2010/11 for being unable to bowl dry. I can't imagine he has been a fan of Starcs recent efforts providing he still adheres to that method.

 

[Contra]

Amazing batting today, congrats Indian fans, first ever series victory in Australia!

Waited a long time for this one.

Yeah, Pant is more valuable. And this is coming from a huge Saha fan boy.

 

[91Jmay]

Starc average nearing 29 now. Right on cue for him to destroy us in the Ashes.

 

[trundler]

One word. Brutal.

 

[M0rphin3]

Bets on how many wickets will fall before stumps?

I'm thinking 3.

Nah, just Harris today IMO.

0. I feel Australia will show some fight tonight.

Jadeja and Pant are Gods too.

90% of that is fatigue. Runs flow when sides lose their edge.

 

[silentstriker]

India at 1.44, Draw at 2.75 and Australia at 151. Sounds about right. I'd put the draw a little higher.

they'll be 21/7 at stumps.

Funny thing is you never know when you go from enjoying the joke to becoming one. The WI provided us with a template for terminal decline that I think Australia are exhibiting. Symptoms shown by SA too. You don’t know for sure which teams have the resilience to come back. I’m hoping Australia can as long we get our administration right. I don’t want to be seen advocating wholesale sackings but I think the purge of those involved in the direction of Australian cricket the last 5 or so years needs to continue.

A thrashing here is a good thing as hopefully it will force change

 

[uvelocity]

Well this is some pantsing indeed

They'll just hide behind Smith/Warner getting banned. Not sure even a Sri Lanka loss would do much.

It would have to rain for 2 days for a draw

Our batting is ****

 

[Shri]

At what point to the Indian selectors have to tap dhoni on the shoulder lol

A year ago.

There's a bit of rain on the horizon, no?

 

[OverratedSanity]

The funny thing is, I was much more hopeful of India possibly winning the series in England and SA this year than I was in Australia, yet here we are.
