Australia v India

[NTA]

@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.

Right @Kruse ?

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure that there is the Clarke / Johnson wankeriness with Smith (cheat, yes) / Cummins.

That is the problem that Aus need to fix. If you are team of arseholes still, at least show it.

Aussie won the toss, batting first

Australia: 1 Joe Burns, 2 Matthew Wade, 3 Marnus Labuschagne, 4 Steven Smith, 5 Travis Head, 6 Cameron Green, 7 Tim Paine (capt & wk), 8 Pat Cummins, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Josh Hazlewood, 11 Nathan Lyon

India: 1 Mayank Agarwal, 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Ajinkya Rahane (capt), 5 Hanuma Vihari, 6 Rishabh Pant (wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Umesh Yadav, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 Jasprit Bumrah

Burns' front foot is not yet mobile

Some good shape by Bumrah

What’s the story with New Zealand’s favourite player David Warner ? Wasn’t he supposed to be available?

[NTA]

@MN5 groin still not 100%.

Also don't change a winning team

We did after two innings thrashing’s in a row cos Santner is the Jordie Barrett of cricket.

Actually he triggers me as much as Mitch Marsh does to you. Must be the name.

[NTA]

Burns just got a duck from 10 balls after looking rubbish to admittedly good fast bowling.

Warner back for third test thanks waiter.

[KiwiMurph]

Ashwin causing big problems.

[ACT Crusader]

@KiwiMurph got Smith again just trying to push it. He’s a class bowler Ashwin, even on an MCG deck that doesn’t really give much.

[KiwiMurph]

That's 100% the wrong call.

India absolutely fucked over.

[NTA]

Based on the technology available that was the only call.

Surely we can have HDR cameras for this?

[KiwiMurph]

@NTA only call?

I disagree.

[NTA]

@KiwiMurph can't see the back of the bat from that shot. Benefit of the doubt.

If you've got one shot that puts the batsman in and another that shows them maybe out, what do you go with?

HDR cameras. The answer is "you go with HDR cameras"

[NTA]

Terrible review. He's tall but not THAT tall

[KiwiMurph]

@NTA look how far the bail is off - it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the bail came off before the bat crossed the line.
