1st Test Border Gavaskar Trophy November 22-26 1350hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Bedi]

Just tuned in.
Who’s winning?

people ridicule this question, but there's always a team on top or it's even – just like any other sport

 

[Around the Wicket]

60-40 India

interestingly winviz has it 56-44 Australia.. LMAO

 

[TY24]

He can bat at 5/6 (his normal position)
McSweeney 3 (his preferred position)
Head open (only change)

But no we will keep 1 player out of 3 in their normal position.
Inglis 3, McSweeney will open and Head at 5.

The solution to square pegs in round holes isn’t more square pegs in round holes.

If they make any changes at all it should be Marnus out, McSweeney to 3, and Konstas opening.

Playing blokes out of position is half the reason we are where we are.

Huzzah

Is the wicket starting to settle down?
Older ball

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That is a very very low standard to beat

True but shows Smith shouldn’t be dictating where he bats. Bloke is lucky to be picked on form I mean he’s leaving balls on middle stump to medium pace plodders in shield cricket and wondering why it was out

Older ball

India's bowling looks a little more benign at least.

Looks like their just waiting for a batting ,mistake

Just drop Smith and play Inglis or Marsh. Honestly Marsh is living off that score in the previous test but has barely played this summer and Smith well…

 

[k31th]

seems the ~40 over mark is around where batting gets easier...

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Old George Washington into the attack.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Maybe don't wear pants so tight they cant get the pads over them.

 

[Plugger35]

India getting desperate now, they are bowling a spinner.

 

[KBLT]

Why is Starc protecting Hazelwood? He’s only a marginally better batsman than Hazelwood. I feel like they’ve wasted 10 to 20 runs so far.

 

[gtrxuone]

Nathan Lyon is now equal on runs with Stuart Broad.
As the highest test scoring no 10 batsman.

 

[philreich]

9 for 194 at stumps?

 

[KBLT]

That grassy knoll opposite you.... Is that like a corporate area?

That's the 'hill'. It's a public space but they limit how many people can get in.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Enthralling cricket at least.

 

[Outtatym]

Am I bored or enthralled?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Great we have Hayden talking again

Can’t someone put a white tent around him

 

[4Seasons]

You mean talented 'batsman' who have not had their Test credentials pulled apart from white ball cricket where they make the ground 40 percent smaller so the children can cheer 4s and 6s every 2 balls otherwise they'd be back on their phones playing games.

Ok boomer.
Children on their phones playing a game, is a hell of a lot better than people who use their phones to log onto social media, just so they can complain.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Josh the Wall.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Kohli teasing the crowd with a bump ball catch.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We have batted more than India in overs at least.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

See that’s how you hit the ball Smith

Take a batting lesson one from Haze

 

[Cainozz]

Nathan Lyon is now equal on runs with Stuart Broad.
As the highest test scoring no 10 batsman.

It’s quite odd that Broad turned from a bowling all-rounder to a genuine no.10.
