Australia v India
-
120 points per test series.
Divided by how many tests.
So NZ v Pak is 2 test series meaning each win is worth 60 points each. 20 for a draw.
India v Aus and India v England are 4 tests series, each win worth 30 each. 10 for a draw.
India on 360.
NZ on 300.https://www.icc-cricket.com/world-test-championship/standings

@Duluth said in Australia v India:
Is Pucovski available? I would select him ahead of Burns but I doubt Langer would.
Last I heard, with the extraordinary number of concussions he's had (not all related to cricket), I'd say unlikely.
After all, when India A are doing this to #11 batsmen, who would risk it for an opener? Right @Kruse ?
A third Australian cricketer in four days has suffered a concussion, with the most recent incident resulting in New South Wales quick Harry Conway being ruled out of the remainder of the match between Australia A and an Indian XI. The 28-year-old last night walked out to bat at number 11 late on day two in the SCG fixture and copped a barrage of bouncers from Indian fast bowler Navdeep Saini, with one delivery thudding into his helmet as Australia A scrambled to 108. And while Conway continued batting until he was run out for seven, he later began to experience symptoms of delayed concussion and was replaced by Queensland fast bowler Mark Steketee. Former Australian Test cricketer Brendon Julian was left mystified by Saini's onslaught against Conway. "From India's point of view, I don't really see any reason why you've got to keep doing (the short balls)," Julian said on Fox Sports' coverage. "I reckon they've overdone it with the short balls... There's no upside to this. "It's all about just getting hit at the moment, and that's why you just declare, bring them in and say, 'All right, let's have a crack at them'." -
@Snowy this is the way!

Huh? What? Did I at some point posit an opinion on this? I must have been drunker than usual.

tis the season. Sometimes I look back on past posts I've made and shake my head and sometimes I can't even blame alcohol !
This result is fucken massive though, forget the usual lame aussie bashing, if anyone puts the intensely unlikable India in their place then they're alright with me. As @NTA and I laugh about frequently, their fans are a very "special" breed indeed.
Can a team possibly comeback and compete in a series when they get bowled out for THIRTY SIX ?
I'll be following the two tests on boxing day with eager anticipation.

Big lounge TV and laptop. As our test starts first the Aussie one will get relegated to the latter I think.

A man who has his priorities right!

So Shami out too now with a broken arm.
Do India stand any sort of chance now? (I hope not as a 4-0 thrashing would really help us)

I feel like this series is a win win for a neutral. It's equally satisfying to see either group thoroughly humbled.

Yeah dunno. Until the next Brad Haddin shows up it's pretty tough to really dislike the Aussie team to be honest.
Smith cheated and has ridiculously unfair stats, Warner can be a bit of a dick. Aside from that there's not much to go on.

I was watching some footage from an Ashes series a couple of years back. It is amazing how much more of a dick he was then.

You think he is now dickless?
I think he's probably as big a dick as ever, but has learned that certain things should not be seen to be done. And people are quicker probably to tell him to pull his head in. But a reformed character? I doubt it.

@Chester-Draws appears to be more of a dick then

Warner seems to have matured a fair bit in recent years. Same insanely punchable face though.
TBH I actually like this Indian team under Kohli. Kohli himself is an absolute gun and humble as fuck off the field. But their fans, oh boy their fluffybunny fans are why it was so absolutely fucking hilarious seeing them get knocked over for 36. The meltdowns across India would have been something to behold. I'm just gutted I'm on leave as I work with plenty of Indians in tech; I'll be sure to reopen this wound in the new year when we're all back in the office.

@No-Quarter already had a shot at the Indian guy in my team
He's a good bloke so took it in spirit, but despite a relatively comfortable upbringing is well aware of the shortcomings of Indian caste and politics in their cricket and wider society. -

Without Warner their usually very high dickhead factor plummets. Even when he's there, you can still hope for him to fail but be alright with the team winning

All very disappointing when the Aussie cricket team aren't mostly complete bellends.
Unfortunately Warner does seemed to have matured and not be as much of a cock, he is stuck with the punchable face. He brought that on himself by being a fuckwit in the first place.There must be some up and coming dickheads that we can look forward to disliking?
Nothing is bloody right this year.

Leap with me on the "get ready for a broken fucken arm" Cummins/Shami bandwagon.
