cannot even get bat on it

 

[ChoppyGun]

Do people not realise India's batting line up is completely shithouse?

Kohli a star but struggles here, Pujara a soldier, the rest are no good.

 

[Mav]

Stuart’s brother Shub can bat a bit.

 

[Marstermind]

We'd take 4 of their top 6 in a heartbeat. And that's not counting Kohli.

Gill is a jet and Rahane can definitely play. Risabh also made a hundred here last time around.

Yeah I jinxed it.

Sorry

Bullshit

Bullshit

Agarwal and Gill are genuine openers unlike Burns and Wade. And then we'd take Rahane and Pujara ahead of Head and Green. Done.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Smith
Warner
Labur - yes him
.......are improved by Kohli and maybe Pujara.

That's it. Gill is unproven and Rahane pretty ordinary imo. Sharma isn't playing

Agarwal is terrible. Looks like getting out every ball as per Burns.

What are you watching?

Agarwal averages 50+ in Test cricket with 2 double hundreds. He's got Burns well and truly covered.

Not here he doesn't.

Dustbowls maybe.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Lots of Indians come here with high averages.

Meaningless.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Warner
Pujara
Kohli
Smith
Labus'
Rahane
Paine

That's the top 7 of both teams if mixed.

 

[Marstermind]

Because they're good players.

You can't present any argument to me whatsoever that one of Matthew Wade or Joe Burns is a better player than Mayank Agarwal.

 

[ChoppyGun]

As for bowlers.
Cummins
Hazelwood
Bumrah
Lyon/Ashwin

I didn't.

 

[Themanbun]

Dustbowls maybe.

Small sample size but Mayank average around 45 in Aus. He's a very good player mate, and well and truly has Burns covered, here or otherwise.

I didn't say he didn't. Still unproven.

Burns is rubbish so I don't know why people are attributing him to me.

Haven't mentioned him once.

 

[Marstermind]

I didn't.

WTF are you on about then??? From this match - forget Warner or Kohli - if the teams were mixed neither Wade or Burns would open. And even if you pushed Pujara to open Jadeja would take Green's spot as the all-rounder.

Yes you did. I said Agarwal has Burns covered and you said not here he doesn't.

I'd prefer Green to Jadeja.

Wade and Agarwal close in our conditions.

No I didn't.

What??

Australia would kill for a number 6 who averages 35 with the bat and has 200 wickets at 24 with the ball!!!!

Oh sorry. Tests in India don't count.....
