Australia v India
-
To use a tired old cricket cliche, this game is delicately poised at lunch. 2/65 with Marnus and Smith in the middle. You feel like this partnership goes a long way to deciding the game. I can see us getting to 2/200, or being all out 146.
@barbarian what is a decent first innings score looking like? 200 minimum and 250+ excellent?

@Paekakboyz Looks like a pretty good deck for batting, I'd have 320 as par in the first innings.

typical Brisbane. Get through the first little bit and then it's a road for a few days. Always bat first at teh gabba
at least this year we weren't subjected to the weeks-long campaign to try and convince the visitors this year is different, it's a bit spicy, and you should definitely bowl first.

Bus change dropped.
Sitter.
Could have stuffed Aussie
Marnus can bat, but Jesus he has Lady Luck riding on his shoulder, as well.
Comms just saying that's the fifth time he's been dropped in this series and, as I recall, we gave him quite a bunch of lives as well!

just fucking bat normally

The Henry Nicholls of Australia. They should really recalculate his average based on every chance being taken, and then drop him.

This new spinner has some great discipline. Offered fuck all to the batsmen even if he's not bowling hand grenades.

This might explain why he takes so long to leave the field when he is out - takes him a while to believe that he actually has been caught!

Officially, he's currently at 338 runs for 6 times out - averaging 56.33 for this series.
According to the NQ index he should be 338/11 - 30.72 - sitting next to Joe Burns watching on!
