@MN5 radio commentators for cricket are God Tier
Flick on ABC Radio commentary when I am doing school run or other stuff. Channel 7 is OK except for Hayden (much better than Ch 9 before the switch), but radio is a step up.

Yeah obviously they have to paint the picture more than the TV guys given we often can’t see what is happening.
Are there any good Indian commentators over at the moment ? Harsha Bogle is always great value and Wasim Akram was brilliant when Pakistan toured

Marsh
Lineage.
His old man was pretty average. 6th best batsman out of Taylor, Boon, Jones, Waugh, Border….
Australia should be thankful Shane Watsons dad never played for his country

BMac didn't even look like hitting it, the ball was just way too good for him.
He openly blames himself for that one. Says that he broke his own very simple golden rule - watch the ball.
Coney (I think) was talking about it during last England test.
Yeah. Ball wasn't that good. (Edit: it was good, full inswinger, but should gave been defended.) Down to BMac playing across the line. Can see why it excited the Aussies though.

Harsha is on comms for ABC radio at the moment. He's good but tends toward waxing lyrical about everything, which I think is probably natural in the highly competitive India Cricket Journalist market.

I’m in that awkward holding pattern between lunchtime and evening drinks….found this on FB
Some questionable spelling and not sure about the batting order but hard to fault this team. Maybe Starc ahead of Johnson ? Not sure any other country could put out a team to compete with this lot

@MN5 The Indians could field e.g.:
Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Dravid, Tendulkar, Kohli, VVS, Dhoni, Jadeja, Ashwin, Shami, Bumrah
They struggle a bit to find a third seamer to match the Aussies, but on the other hand, the Aussies struggle a bit to find a second spinner to match the Indians - and Warnie was somewhat ineffective against them.
Doh - and I've overlooked the obvious that the second spinner would by Lyon - in fact arguably he'd play ahead of Warnie vs India.

Australia 1 Usman Khawaja, 2 Sam Konstas, 3 Marnus Labuschagne, 4 Steven Smith, 5 Travis Head, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Alex Carey (wk), 8 Pat Cummins (capt), 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Scott Boland
India 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 KL Rahul, 3 Rohit Sharma (capt), 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Rishabh Pant (wk), 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Nitesh Kumar Reddy, 8 Washington Sundar, 9 Akash Deep, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Mohammed Siraj
Indians have stacked the bowling - look light on specialist batsmen - and especially batsmen with form!
