Pujara & Rahane going to bore us to death.

Laxman, Dravid and Ganguly say hi.

 

[Hojuman]

Just gotta keep up this class A bowling.

 

[shinboner magic]

Can someone tell India that this isn’t a timeless Test

 

[Hojuman]

Laxman, Dravid and Ganguly say hi.

Would love to know how many series wins they were involved in away from home.

 

[shinboner magic]

Stop the pressers - there’s been a wicket in a Lyon over.

Would love to know how many series wins they were involved in away from home.

Four away series wins where they all played from what I can see, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, England, and Pakistan.

I'll count the one against England.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

2-84 that session... It's fair to state that this test is very evenly placed.

The new ball is due in 1 over, so I think that (especially with Pant at the crease & Jadeja to come in next) may well decide the result of the entire test match!

If we can pick up 2 with the new ball then we are well in front.

 

[Snake_Baker]

India have less talent, but more discipline.

Starc is a wasted selection when he can't get it wobbling.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Starc is a wasted selection when he can't get it wobbling.

It's a 2 man bowling attack right now. Cummins & Hazlewood between them have the figures of 42o-20m-72r-5w. In comparison, Starc & Lyon's figures are 46-15-124-0 (EDIT: I'd like to think that I spurred Starc on for his wicket)

It's a bit of a concern that the Indians have been all over Lyon this innings. If the ball doesn't start keeping low, then bowling 4th may not be as big an advantage as one initially would have thought.

 

[Hojuman]

Comedy capers the running between wickets

 

[Samsquanch]

I just do not see what others see. Batting or bowling.

 

[ChoppyGun]

He's young. Give him time as he appears nervous.

We have no-one else any way as Wade will be dropped before Green and Warner likely stuffed his groin again.

More nervous than the Indian batsmen.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Give him some time. Not an easy series to debut in.

Let's see how he goes against other countries first.

 

[Samsquanch]

LBW is on. If the ball hits Siraj's helmet.

 

[Hojuman]

0 / 94 me likey
Another 300 nice.

 

[Samsquanch]

Cheese and chalk.

The most experienced Aussie opener and a first gamer. Pucovski is showing a lot of maturity.

 

[Samsquanch]

Or not

 

[ChoppyGun]

JB stuffs it up again.

Calls Sunil Gavaskar Sachin Tendulkar!

Harmless mistake but funny

 

[Samsquanch]

How many more will be needed? Another 120 or a few ore?

**** Slater. STFU.
