Australia v India

NTA

@NTA wouldn't be so sure. India have lost a frontline bowler.

While Ashwin and Bumrah are still there, Australia are stuffed.

Tactic is Ashwin one end all day with a break provided by Jadeja if needed.

Rotate the two remaining quicks at the other end

Would make a compelling series if India can wrap this one up that’s for sure.

Real shame Yadav got hurt because he looked to be troubling the Aussie batters.

Intriguing match this. Could Wade pull off a match saving innings and also save his test spot?

NTA

Nothing shot from Wade. Bye Bye

KiwiMurph

@NTA He did so much hard work.

Well that was a rip snorter of a jinx right there. Well played.

NTA

@KiwiMurph always impatient. Burns energy and then fatigue.

KiwiMurph

Was that a near identical dismissal for Head to how Siraj got him in the first innings?

NTA

@KiwiMurph yep. Sack him.

Terrible loss of patience from the skipper

That must've been the faintest of edges for Tim.

@NTA why is Starc not batting at 8 ? he's pretty capable, more so than Cummins I woulda thought.

NTA

@MN5 Starc is a slugger. Cummins will try to bat. So will Lyon and Hoff

Fair enough, similar to Wags batting ahead of Timmy in some cases I suppose. I just looked at 10 fifties ( High score of 99, bummer ) and he looks decent based on those numbers.

Still think Australia are a chance here.

Well, a team that got skittled for 36 certainly has no right to be complacent but it would take a massive fuck up for them to lose from here.

Aussies are basically 6/2 and two days to play.

Unless you’re trying to outdo my Wade jinx....

Would you select a single Indian player in an Australian team ? (copyright Sean Fitzpatrick 2003 )

@MN5 @NTA

Top 3 test sides, OZ, NZ, India - what does a combined XI look like (injuries aside)

Smith, Kane, Kohli?

Cummins, Bumrah, Wagner, Boult, Hazelwood?

Warner, Rahane, BJ, Nicholls?

Lyon, Ashwin, Jadeja?
