McDonald has completely failed in our preparation for this series.

Well done, clown. Keep riding off easy home wins though.

Send green back home and let him take WA to shield glory rather than be associated with this mess

Bookmarked.

Simple typo. Fixed below

India got flogged in the first test in Australia last time and bounced back well. I can’t see Australia doing something similar in this series.

This squad could do with a bit of JL telling them they aren’t as good as they think they are…

While we have been crap, I don’t get why when the wicket seams a lot here it gets called sub-standard but a raging turner on the sub-continent is ok.

The odd one has turned a lot… none have cause our stupid batsmen to get out…

Definitely helped the two series JL coached against India.

Tipping India to score about 350 and then roll Australia for about 120 in the second innings.

This is turning out to be pretty accurate, unfortunately.

Bazball against us will be interesting, because we clearly can't handle when teams put us under any pressure whatsoever.

More like the odd one hasn’t turned. Some very poor shot selection but this is a turning wicket.

Simmo McDonald needs to wake up

Absolutely blown the match (and by extension, the series).

They'll run through us for max 150 in the second dig and chase them down.

FKASC can we address your laugh react to this post now?

Pathetic. 9/53

If you can’t handle a ball that turns or moves 2-3cms then you have no business playing test cricket… it’s been garbage batting rather than great bowling or batting on a minefield that has lost 9 wickets in 20 overs

Especially with the test moved from Dharamshala, which was worth watching just for the scenery.

 

[THE A5]

India has run through the Aussies faster than a bout of Dehli Belly

 

[RookiePick]

Mind boggling. They all just came in a threw in the towel.

India a good chance to win by 10 wickets from here.

 

[Ochre]

We're making it look like Jadeja and Ashwin are two of the best spinners of all time bowling on very favourably decks.

 

[KBLT]

Absolutely no bounce in the pitch.

 

[Yeo_Check_Out_ma_Flow]

This Aussie team reminds me of that Simpsons episode, where Skinner gets fired and Flanders becomes the school Principal.

Flanders is McDonald, Langer is Skinner.

We need Skinner back, because these boys need a good old fashioned spray and someone to stand up and take control of this mess.

You can't have the players coaching themselves. Own your space, but only if you've earned it.

Apologies for cursing the cricket thread

Just shows how much test cricket can ebb and flow I guess. Have looked in good positions at various times throughout the match. Didn’t look like we’d get rolled so easily when Head and Marnus were out there last night

 

[Tugga27]

I realise we just aren't good enough but it's the lack of fight that's disappointing

 

[THE A5]

How is this man in his early 40’s?

 

[Dazzler9]

More wickets lost to the reverse sweep in this series than the combined amount I've seen the entire time I've followed Test cricket. Why is it so fashionable suddenly?
