@Snowy maybe John saw how Han stuffed Luke into a Tauntaun to warm him up? Just lucky for those other players that he only had a cold finger...

You being first to arrive with an excuse for anal probing isn't too much of a shock though
i don't usually use an excuse. just change lanes without indicating

@mariner4life You also add in guys like Sehwag and Darren Gough opting for clickbait-esque statements and the fire is roaring before they are even off the ground.
I understand the pile-on. The Sydney test allowed the media (both here and abroad) to dust off three classic old chestnuts at once: the Aussie team are sledging, the Aussie crowd are racist and Smith is a cheat. Talk about an editors dream.
The real shame of it is it's overshadowed the most anticipated test on home soil in maybe a decade. When was the last time we had a genuine decider in a test series? I can't remember, maybe a game against South Africa?
Well let’s look back before the SCG test and all of a sudden there’s a made up story about the GABBA test and India not wanting to play it if there is this Covid restriction and protocol. That was not coming from the India camp....

They'll back themselves against the Indian 'attack' for this test.

India really needed to win that toss and put some runs on the board.

Good start getting Warner but they're going to have to roll Aus for under 200 if they want to be in this game.

Warner going early always brings a smile to my face.

Same here but it's catch 22 for me as I do like watching him bat.

@MN5 he's nowhere near fully fit. If Pucovski was fit he might well have missed this game.
Indeed so why is he playing then ?

as a kiwi cricket fan you should know this better than most. Guys get rushed back when the pool of other options is paddling depth
