See the difference between Bumrah and our bowlers…

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Time to see if Cummins really is as good as bumrah.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

If India stay in we're in deep shit.

We are already

 

[Cleavy]

we're going to be chasing a lot at this rate.

 

[dumb]

Roller might have calmed the pitch for now too

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

I genuinely don’t understand it. Can you explain why he bowls lengths that scare the shit out of our batsmen and take the stumps out of the ground and we bowl ones that they’re happy to leave on length or tuck around the corner and rotate the strike? Is it skill? Coaching?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Any chance of rain lol

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Sounds like that Jaiswal fella literally came a barren slump?

Does everything with the ball, swings it both ways and seams it, ultra accurate too. Just about the perfect bowler

 

[Bombermania]

This is why the Aussies should have been taking those singles, it may have only been an extra 20 runs but that's 20 runs you don't need to make in the second innings.

 

[Javiersuka]

Australia so crap at their own home

 

[Richard Pryor]

Early days but nerve wracking how comfortable India look at the crease. If anyone gets a ton, or even a 60+ score I can't see us chasing it down, especially if they can bat out today and most of tomorrow.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How many balls have we bowled that would hit the stumps? Why are we bowling a hard length? Get them driving

Yes but we have some of the best bowlers in the world too. Can they not do the same? It just feels like the strategy is off. We’re waiting for them to make mistakes but it’s not a limited overs match

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Far too many balls on the pads. Classic shit the bed bowling.

 

[Rob R]

This'll flatten out big time. 30 and sunny today, 36 tomorrow. If India stay in we're in deep shit.

We won't even get 150 amd will probably be chasing 350 for the win. But the selectors will just keep their head in the sand and ignore that we need to move Smith and Cummins on and give Labu some time in the shield.

Bit of a weak melt.. im going to say an Indian fan trolling

 

[chriso11]

Cummins needs to show up big time

 

[PhatBoy]

See the difference between Bumrah and our bowlers…

Yes. One is among the best few statistical bowlers of the literal thousands to have ever played at the highest level.

The others are ‘merely’ among, depending on the metrics you use, the best 30 or 40

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Don’t you want it to hit the stumps? That’s what they did and half our team was lbw

Is a tough situation for this innings. India don't need to take any risks, have virtually unlimited time and no actual pressure to score, so mentally have a pretty huge advantage over the bowlers (who can't really afford to even have any bad balls in an over at the moment considering we really need to restrict their lead to 150 or less).

 

[TY24]

Yeah, terrible batting deck isn’t it

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Trouble is, Starc and Hazlewood reminded India that you can actually bat on this deck if you apply yourself. They could make a big score in the 2nd innings.

You need to factor in game situation mate. It makes such a difference to what is happening at any given time in a match. When a game starts with a clean slate and pressure is on a team going out to bat, a ball in a certain spot might feel like a hand grenade.

When you go out and your team is on top and you’ve just blown the opposition away for 100 and you’re dictating the match, the same ball doesn’t feel nearly as threatening.

 

[Plugger35]

Jaiswal looking more comfortable than the first innings, danger signs for Australia if he gets away and starts piling on quick runs.
