I reckon the issue is confidence. The team as a whole is on the back foot due to the witch hunt of earlier this year and their careful PR tactics required feel as though they've filtered into the batting and we're just not scoring. It's certainly not the most talented team to represent Australia in recent times, but they've done really well get through the full day in what seem to be somewhat tricky conditions. They just haven't been able to score. Hope the public really get behind the team, obviously its difficult since the most vocal tend to be those who want to tear the team down.
Kapil Dev didn't need to sledge the Aussies back in 1991, he just bowled them with pure skill.
A young bloke called Tendulkar was on that tour too.
Surely authorities have the right to tell him to tone it down. He's a pain in the arse.
Fair enough if he hits a great ton or something but do we really have to have a Kohli jizzfest every 15 minutes of every day's play.
He's almost as bad as a forever complaining old fart on the internet.Surely authorities have the right to tell him to tone it down. He's a pain in the arse.
Kohli is this generations best player
So the hype is justified
Did you get on them?India $1.67 in live betting. Overs if you ask me.
Smith average: 61.99, centuries: 23
Kohli average: 54.99, centuries: 24.
Pretty hard to make that argument, seeing the numbers just don't back that statement up at all. Top 5 bat, potentially number 2 overall.
Still think we can potentially get a lead if Starc finds his groove and keep rotating the strike with Head.
I think Kohli is further ahead of the competition in limited overs than Smith is ahead of the pack in Tests, so overall I would probably have him ahead, but in Tests Smith is comfortably the best bat of the generation. I think they're both equally limited captains though (although Kohli hasn't managed to drop a nuke on his own side yet, so I'd have to give him the edge there as well).Smith average: 61.99, centuries: 23
Kohli average: 54.99, centuries: 24.

Agree with this,, but we'd have to bowl well in the second innings.Still think we can potentially get a lead if Starc finds his groove and keep rotating the strike with Head.
Wade is more deserving of a recall based on form in the last 12 months than Maxwell.
Unless we need a specialist fielder I couldn’t care less about that given our dire situation when it comes to our batting stocks.
It's the kind of situation where you need the captain to stick a rocket up the bowlers. Have to bowl like we're defending a 120 total to have a chance.Agree with this,, but we'd have to bowl well in the second innings.
His recent form has definitely been better, but I do have concerns about playing a left-hander against Ashwin at #6.
He did OK with the bat in India though, so I wouldn't complain too much if he got selected.
Marsh is a left hander anyway. Can replace Marsh and we’d lose nothing
