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

[windyhill]

You play West Indies fifths followed by South African thirds and the fawning machine , as usual, goes over the top and here we are.

 

[Shaunbkk]

hahahaha comedy at its best hahahaha Better watching Redbacks!!!!! By far

 

[Headless]

Looking good.

 

[hawkman]

Head
Khawaja
Labs
Smith
Handscomb
Green
Carey

Should be the top order in the next test

 

[Moonwatcher]

Head would have been out first ball

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

What does he expect playing from the crease

Please suggest alternative options?

 

[freddy mercury]

Ah man, a big reality check I think, its all good and well beating up on minnow countries looking like Don Bradmans and Shane Warnes but the second we get the first real test, we are predictably shit.

 

[Pistol Night]

It's a tale of 2 pitches, depending on who's batting.

Can we borrow theirs

 

[11kgm]

Their running through us like a late night curry

 

[Manbearpig77]

Just insipid.

 

[Alfonz]

It's laughable how they bring the bat down in a swiping motion while rooted to the crease. What do they think is going to happen? Won't make it to 100.

 

[BACCS]

Stack the batting lol boland for green

Head can bowl part time

That is absolutely what I would do, Green is a genuinely good bowling option, especially in these conditions.

 

[FRUMPY]

He is the only reason Australia didn’t lose 2-0 last time they went to Bangladesh and he absolutely destroyed SA when they were at their peak


So better than South Africa in Australia then?

Tbf, South Africa is as close as you'll get to Australian pitches.

Even a half fit Maxy batting at 8 couldn't make our side any worse than what it has been this match. Especially if Green can bowl at 6 and if Cummins isn't going to bowl the second pacer in Boland anyway.

Lol you are a complete vicco pleb. I bet you love Dan long time too.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

For some reason they've been trying to make a middle order batsman out of Renshaw, not even God would know why. Probably because he's made a couple of 20s or 30s in hit & giggle perhaps? He's an opener, or he's nothing.

 

[freo_leo29]

I'd open wth Head in the first innings next test just so he can face the first 4 overs of paces

 

[allrighty]

so who loses their job over the selection ???



Oh that's right, it's cricket australia so ******* NO ONE

They'll have a ****in diversity parade though. Idiots

 

[ABAB]

India scored 400

We had them for 7/240 with Rohit scoring nearly half their score.

 

[Alesana]

Warner still the most overrated australian player in history. Cant remember a good innings he has played overseas

Settle down, averages 63 in South Africa

Stack the batting lol boland for green

Don't mind that. Green only needed for 3-4 over spell twice a day. Bowl the spinners and part timers more

This is craptacular.

Someone move their bloody feet.

 

[Zevon]

Tracker just had it stop getting higher when it hit him. Gold

It would have had it bouncing over a second set in Australia

 

[Westend]

Head
Khawaja
Labs
Smith
Handscomb
Green
Carey

Should be the top order in the next test

i would swap green with peter...greenie 5 pete 6

need right handers in the top six

 

[swanssince2002]

Look like Don Bradman and Shane Warne at home respectively in December, a less talented 2013 homework gate side away from home in India.

 

[010203]

All over tonight I'm afraid
