2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

I'd love to be a bowler in today's test era.

It's clear you don't need a deep range of deliveries, just bowl a consistent line and length and watch batsmen get themselves out.

Agree, all five wickets have been terrible shots.

Will give the Aussies a false sense of security!

nice garry


Ashwin can bat, hopefully knock him over and run through the tail quickly

[Bombers4EVA]

127 is still a hard target to reach for the Aussies. We can't be too cocky. Or else we could follow India's example.

4/56 at lunch. Excellent session from the Aussies

Pleased with the scoreline, but some horrible shot selection in that session from India.

On the other hand, pretty perfect shot selection if there is a certain bookie having contact with the Indian batsman.

Pujara looks quite settled. Need to get some wickets quick so we can have a hit in the last session.

Might not be a bad toss to lose. Quicks will get the best time to bowl.
Get into them early then face 10 overs of the last session.
Easy!

You’re on drugs lol

Happy to admit i was wrong, and you appear to be closer to the truth than not!

Thanks.

Get one before the new ball is due & confident we can knock the rest over tonight

[Armchair expert]

These two applying themselves, should be a good lesson for our bats.

[Armchair expert]

Huge wicket, good ball too.

[stan]

Huge by Cummins. Huge!

Sharma batting at 9 is a bad reflection on 10 & 11.

Absolutely, I'm shocked he's at 9, looks very nervous against Lyon. Need to get him asap regardless. Pujara playing very well, hard to remove as usual.

[The Dark Knight]

Few chances gone begging now.

[The Dark Knight]

Crap first over with the second new ball from Starc.

[Grenville]

Saw the good, bad and ugly of Paine's captaincy today. His fields to Lyon early were veey good but his persistence with a third man late was shite.

[The Dark Knight]

Nice way to finish the day with run out of Pujara, absolutely brilliant from Cummins.

9/250 at stumps, can't help but think we could of got them out for less with a few chances gone begging and that edge off Pujara where no one but Hazlewood went up but that's cricket and 9/250 after they won the toss is very, very good and you'll take it everyday of the week.

Pujara has been my favourite Indian batsman for a while, an old style player.

Pretty hot so I'll give Paine the botd.
Should've had 3 slips and no 3rd man.

Pujara has been my favourite Indian batsman for a while, an old style player.

Definitely an old style player and probably the best batsman in the world when it comes to batting time, grinding a bowler attack down and making himself hard to remove. There's not to many batsman now who can bat genuine time like Purjara can, Alistair Cook was someone that could bat genuine time and grind down an attack at his best, Pujara took his mantle and does it better.
