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

[Around the Wicket]

Axar has a first class century and he's not even in yet

First Class centuries don't mean alot in India LoL for whatever reason they make there FC pitches roads.

 

[Hamez]

I’ve noticed that Murphy’s bowled predominantly side and under cutter deliveries compared to Lyon’s traditional over spin.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Cant waste this new ball but the pitch wont give us much and Cummins is struggling. Give it to Bolands.

India is just a graveyard for fast bowlers and has been for decades.

Fast bowlers don't know how to ball basic line and length in conditions that don't suit.

 

[Plugger35]

Bharat isn't mucking around.

He's just climbed into Murphy.

 

[sherb]

Axar has a first class century and he's not even in yet

F-C batting average of 32.44.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Murphy’s swinging it.

 

[The 747]

The fields and bowling changes in this game have been difficult for me to understand TBH.

 

[Nuggetz]

great shot by bharat, idm giving murphy the new ball as he's the inform bowler.

 

[Glacier]

Axar has a first class century and he's not even in yet

Bharat has a first class triple hundred

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Worried Bharat is gonna go the tonk and get some boundaries

 

[Aussie pie]

Almost getting into the uncharacteristic bad kick from Judd territory

Lol or the, Sidebottom is very good off both sides.

 

[Zevon]

Axar has a first class century and he's not even in yet

I’m not sure that counts for a lot given the pitches they play on in Indian first class cricket. He averages 22 in tests and 19 in ODIs which I feel is around his level.

Do agree that makes him better than a tail ender though.

did you know pendlebury played baskteball?

 

[Cold Sober]

Have we still only used 4 bowlers.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

New ball is keeping low and darting back sharply.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Cummins bowling beautifully.

 

[PhatBoy]

Your reply is full of anger and abuse. You seem quite hateful.

No. Just have a low level of tolerance for stupidity.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I’ve noticed that Murphy’s bowled predominantly side and under cutter deliveries compared to Lyon’s traditional over spin.

Warne always got the better of opponents in India when he bowled flatter deliveries. Maybe that's the secret. Kumble wasn't exactly the most traditional spin bowler a d dominated in India. Jadeja was bowling very flat in the first innings and dominated

 

[danielnajdek]

Put a point in ffs.

 

[Zevon]

Have we still only used 4 bowlers.

No Marnus rolled his arm over for a few overs with little effect

 

[Magma]

that looked pretty in line

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Outside leg??

 

[010203]

That's close.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Gees not sure about this review

Agreed. Must be a plan, but what that is, I don’t know
