Border Gavaskar Trophy, India v Australia, 1st Test 9-13 Feb, 1430hrs at Nagpur

[Xtreme]

Warner gone

 

[Shaunbkk]

Is head in next?

 

[Mr Experience]

No luck? Except Marnus escaping one 20 minutes ago

Marnus is the exception, luckiest cricketer on the planet

 

[Woody15]

Seriously.

Its funny how people whinge and moan about such benign crap like pitches, DRS and apparent cheating, but the fact is we are just shit like a lot of touring sides.

Flat, lifeless drop in wickets, rubbish selection calls and a lack of preparation for touring conditions are much more important than the crap so many posters go on about daily in here.

 

[ManOfClay]

How good is test cricket

We only sing when we’re winning

 

[Westend]

Lol. He played foward you knob.

he plays from the crease every bloody ball ..

knob

 

[Shaunbkk]

Can we get a number 8 spin bowler to bat for us?

 

[Nuggetz]

No way we are surviving this given what the ball is doing. Shaved areas really taking affect now.

What about the pitch?

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Finally they give an umpires call out on the on-field decision.

This is ******* grim. Seeing absolutely nothing to give us any sense of optimism batting wise leading into the second test. Is it too late to fly Maxy over as a hail mary?

Was waiting for the Victorian floggers to start stoking them selves over the next Victorian. Maxwell would be a disaster. Don’t go there girlfriend.

 

[010203]

Marnus is probably still padded up.

 

[Manbearpig77]

Embarrassing

 

[ABAB]

Poor preparation with pretty much 3 debutants, what could go wrong......

 

[Shaunbkk]

Overpaid. If they were TRULY professional, you would get paid per run and wicket.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Smiffy

 

[k31th]

lovely six Smithy!

 

[Doggy]

Well at least Warner made it to double figures, that's better than most people here were predicting, myself included.

NZ lost a T20 by 160 runs or so to India a few weeks ago.. so there's that

 

[Westend]

Embarrassing

what you get with no west aussies in the team

 

[FRUMPY]

Honestly wouldn't mind if Carey batted higher up the order this series.

In these conditions I have more faith in him than pretty much the rest of the batting lineup.

Don't think he'll last long, one trick pony ATM. Might make a few but won't last long

[Adelaide Hawk]

And they omit Head because they say he can't play spin.

 

[freo_leo29]

Lovely Smitty

 

[ManOfClay]

Is head in next?

Next test

 

[Westend]

shot smudge

 

[ManOfClay]

Shot smudge

 

[Nuggetz]

Smudge, good stuff.

 

[barrackers]

Again? Have you watched the whole test?

Yes and that’s my point. India bowling out on field, Australia bowling not out on field
