OK that was tough. But still, I don't think he got the positioning right.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

WTF is with our catching today?

 

[Saket1209]

Wtf is aus doing

 

[Starfighter]

This really bodes well for Ashes.

 

[morgieb]

Wtf is aus doing

Choking.

We're the biggest chokers in world cricket.

I think he was sold one by Carey.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

The choke is on

 

[Prince EWS]

Reckon he could've pitched it up to Thakur more tbh

I think bowling to Thakur like he's a crap specialist batsman instead of a good tailender is generally a good idea, but yeah after Thakur copped some #punishment he was really parking on the back foot for a while.

 

[morgieb]

Seriously, this side is ****ing pathetic. Whenever someone comes at us, we drop our shoulders.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Australia is falling behind on the catch efficiency KPI.

 

[halba]

These two to get to the total by themselves.
Not a good bowling effort. The batting effort will be less i suspect v England side- they will be able to work out Head pretty easily.

Unfortunately rather than the old idea of pithing one up after forcing the batsman back, the predominant idea these days is to keep bowling short.

Umesh sixes will rub salt into the wound before the declaration.

 

[Saket1209]

Aus always Struggle to get the tail. Who the f**k picks starc in playing 11. Just pathetic bowler. I think the worst bowler with 300 wickets.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Jinks has played really well. Been a good innings this.

Nah I'm pretty sure Lillee has 300 wickets.

(also for a more serious answer - Vettori)

Tbf, when they pitch it up, the slip fielders just drop it. Should just try and angle one in tbh. Both these batsmen dont play the incoming full delivery great.

There never seems to be a plan B. Or at least a plan B that doesn't involve bowling short filth. It's the 'attacking' mindset, like to would be treason to set a more defensive field and bowl dry.

Though I see we are finally down to two slips.

Acting like a true Indian fan. Oh wait ..

Be plenty coming at you in next 6 weeks. Going to be some ride.
