India v Aus
-
I see some suggestions that the Aussies are deliberately appealing for a stumping to also get a free review for caught behind. Have only read about it, haven't seen any of the actual appeals so dunno if it's that bad. It's amusing that this is happening as soon as Smith gets back the captaincy (albeit an in an acting capacity) though.

@Cyclops It's been happening all series, under Cummins too, not just Smith.
Smith has shown this test how much of a better tactical captain he is than Cummins - too bad he was a moron during Sandpapergate.

Not a moron - just ethically challenged (like the rest of the team, allegedly)

Ah, didn't realise, only read about it today. Will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.
I wonder if ball tracking, snicko etc were available when third umpire for runs outs was first introduced whether we wouldn't have umpires referring run outs and stumpings but requiring teams to use as review for it.

Ball turning from the first ball.
Second ball the Waj feathers one, burns a review and it's 0/1 -
@Cyclops they seem to be - and it's smart use of the rules. Arguably unethical, but it's elite sport.
Question is why check the edge for a stumping? It's not what the umpires are ruling on.

Not a word usually associated with the Strayan Cricket Team

Even on this pitch 76 runs is just not enough to defend.
Nah, that few runs you have to back the batters. It would take a miracle.

Not even NZ could lose from here ...well, ok we could
27 still needed

Leaving Travis Head at home. What an inspired decision that turned out to be.

Absolute shithousery from Labiashame to deny Head a 50

Crowd looks massive at the new stadium. Not capacity but big.
Wow what a first ball. Kohli at 2nd slip takes it, but it wasn’t hit.

Yesterday was a reasonable day for Aussie with the bat
Some tour matches before the first Test would’ve been useful

The issue is that home boards play silly games and give touring teams pitches that bear no resemblance to what they wind up playing on. I get it, but Australia considered it and declined
