Expecting big things from Mitch Starc today. He has declared himself fit. Every bowler will have some type of niggle this late in the test series.
 
Whilst I don’t want to see a barrage, with the inconsistent bounce getting pretty bad late yesterday, some good short ball bowling will be handy.
With the appropriate field sure.

Assuming batsmen will commit suicide is not really a tactic. Especially not when it gives away 4 riskless singles an over for an hour. ;)

That's a very general, non-specific observation though, what is exactly wrong with his commentary? As I said, it sounded okay to me. (I've listened to him for a long time too).
Long time listener, Jim has never been a favourite but now he just seems to be a fair way off the pace so to speak.
 
333's a long way, and a lot of runs in a day. Need Jaiswal, Rahul, Pant and Ready cheap to feel remotely confident.

As the current holders of the BGT, India mightn't particularly care about this series but they absolutely care about the WTC, given they choked twice. This is the last chance for a number of them to win one before they retire. In order to make it, they need to beat us twice; today and in Sydney.

We need to win, both for the BGT and the WTC.

There's every reason to expect both sides to go hammer and tongs today.

He's not young, 74 rising 75.

I've never been much of an ABC listener so can't really comment on his abilities as a broadcaster but there comes a time when you've just gotta admit that your best days are behind you.

I read his book only 2 weeks ago for the first time just out of curiosity, nothing spectacular there but a decent enough read.
 
Ian Maurice is your reference point?

He read the sports update on WWOS for years and hosted some radio shows so he’s a laws of cricket and biomechanics expert.

Oh well that changes everything.

The opinion of actual cricket people doesn’t matter.

In Bear We Trust. Hail.

Oh, and a journalist writing on behalf of a nation who’s cricket hero was subject to his own speculation on the legality of his action his entire career and probably seeks some sort of ‘well what about this guy’ retribution. No no I’m sure there’s no element of that to it.

F**k me dead. Grow a spine, accept that the guy is just too good, and deal with it.

Could he fulfil an all rounders spot?

India should go T20 mode I reckon.

Was nearly gonna say, Sharma for all his shortcomings as a batsman in test cricket - his overseas mishaps etc - is one of the great ODI openers. Would probably make as much sense for him to just go out and treat it like a 50 over game as it would to try and chase 4 an over.
