Looking forward to the brains trust now dropping Murphy for the second test

deadset this pitch bullshit in India is blatant unadulterated cheating.
yes, every country prepares decks that suit them. But take a fucking look at the pics of the pitch for the 2nd test. Grass in teh middle, but none at either end. it looks like a day 4 deck already. it's blatant cheating.
fuck them. I hope Australia beat them by an innings in England.

Warner now has the lowest average of any opener to have batted at least 15 times in India

We have just seen an umpire review for a stumping where the Aussies also appeared to appeal for a caught behind which was turned down. Part of the review process was to look at the front view to see if there was an edge. In effect, the Aussies just got a free review for the edge. Unless there is something that has escaped me, I cannot see any reason why the front view is necessary for a stumping.

I agree that the front view is not required for a stumping.
I think it is one of those weird cricket things where you don't have to state what the appeal or review is for - the umpires just go through every option

Advantage Australia again as Head is going full Bazball.
Warner: try not to get out and protect my batting average
Head: fucking up this guy's bowling average is my jam

So from 1 for a few overnight, we're now fucked.
Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Usman Khawaja, 5.5 ov), 2-65 (Travis Head, 12.6 ov), 3-85 (Steven Smith, 18.6 ov), 4-95 (Marnus Labuschagne, 21.4 ov), 5-95 (Matt Renshaw, 22.6 ov), 6-95 (Peter Handscomb, 23.1 ov), 7-95 (Pat Cummins, 23.2 ov)
Fuck me.
