With Green and Carey yet to bat and Starc and Cummins being two lower order batsmen capable of quick runs, Australia would be looking to finish their innings in the high 500s or maybe even 600+.

With our vaunted batting lineup housing all these legendary IPL stars plus the comeback player of the year in the great Rahane, we are looking at a solid.................................................................................................................innings defeat here.

Indian fans might like to go to the 'see how you go in our back yard' line but if you win the toss, leave your frontline spinner out, and bowl the dross they did early on, you aren't anything like a deserved WTC champion. It's one thing for an overseas touring side to go to the subcontinent and not have the weapons spin-wise to be effective...but India had the weapons to do damage seam-wise, but failed.

Australia had to be 4 down at least at lunch to make a winner of that decision to bowl...but it was frustrating even as a neutral to watch them ineffectively trying to hit a length, and a full length at that with any consistency.

Reading Green's comments in interviews in the last few days, he's probably one of the last players in world cricket India want coming in next with this platform.

I'm not convinced these were "tough conditions" after the first session

Head will make a load in this warm-up game and go missing in the Ashes against proper bowlers

can't blame me for going to sleep at 1am after a couple of sessions of greentop seam and erratic bounce and not knowing this

regarding ashwin, it's not even about leaving your frontline spinner out, he has been one of the best/grittiest batsmen in the team these last few series and has bailed out our awful top and middle order countless times now...was worth his place in the 11 just for that...

Hussain and all of English cricket eagerly waiting to see how Boland goes on this pitch imo.

With a certain level of trepidation imo.


There's definitely still enough seam movement there if you are patient enough.

Not only would Ashwin probably be their best bowler and one of their best 2 or 3 bats, he'd probably keep better than this guy they're playing

Congratulations to the Australian selectors on taking a successful punt on a player with a poor record in English conditions

Must’ve been sorely tempted to select renowned English specialist Marcus Harris in front of Travis

Only one of Shami and Umesh should play in England.

Ashwin should never be dropped except on the most pace friendly of SA pitches where one of the ok backup pacers legitimately becomes more threatening.

Ishant Sharma was underrated. Bring him back if he's still up for it in Ranji.

Thakur has exceeded his ceiling with both bat and ball far too many times already. He's just going to get #punished. Bin him and let him join Paynter and Voges as one for the future generations to scratch their heads over.
