Australia v India
-
Without thinking about this too much, or trying to find out for myself, but have NZ (and others) been disadvantaged because we don't play as many tests? Or does the scoring system somehow allow for that?

It allows for that. 120 points for a series but it puts way higher emphasis on winning every test for us.
Excuse the formatting:
Matches in series. Points for a win. Points for a tie. Points for a draw. Points for a defeat.
2 60 30 20 0
3 40 20 13 0
4 30 15 10 0
5 24 12 8 0There is also some covid percentage thing that they were talking about when matches couldn't be played.

Good innings by young bloke. Lost his patience the
It’s his strongest shot but the ball rose on him causing him not to middle it.
-
@ACT-Crusader as the comms said tho: he gets out there a couple of times, and suddenly it's a weakness
-
mmm.... that looked pretty plum
-
I have been thinking for a while now that some sort of study around umpire's call would be interesting. I suspect the better teams and players would benefit more.

Hazelwood thought the bounce would’ve had it over the stumps but it clips the top of off.
India need 60 odd to win.

@ACT-Crusader DRS would have had it missing stumps too....

Fuck settle down there Sachin.

Without Warner at the top this Aus batting lineup is pretty weak. Their bowlers did enough to keep them in the game but they've just folded again.
Labuschagne has had a great start but his first class numbers don't suggest he's in the top tier of batsmen, and the rest are very 'meh' apart from Smith. Never thought I'd see so many guys with averages in the 30s in an Australian test top 7.

Jeez didn't take you long to bite.
-
@NTA you don't think better teams or players get the benefit of calls? I reckon it happens at all levels in all sports.

@No-Quarter Labuschagne looks the real deal to me. He has a first class average of 43.5 with 15 tons.
