CRICKET Australia v India Summer

[Big Del]

Yeah it looked like it was outside so I don't know how it ended up being inline.

Pitched outside .
Hit in line .
The movement off the pitch is what is wrecking the batsmen .

 

[Bucking Beads]

No credit to the skills of the bowlers ?
No acknowledgement of the sideways movement off the pitch ?

Nah just stick the boot in ...

Bowling was great and pitch gave them plenty of assistance. We were still very poor. 4 of top 5 lbw or bowled. That’s poor

If the pitch today is like it was yesterday. India will be batting until lunch on day 4 and then our over-the-hill batting line up will be left to try and save the test against well rested bowlers.

Good luck!

The bowling was extraordinarily good from India, but this is another abject failure from our batsmen that was equal parts their own doing..

we’ve had the best part of year to prepare for this Test .. to sort out the wobbles that crept into our batting around 18 months ago and do everything in our power to ensure we’re ready to go for this first Test..

But instead of controlling the controllables to give ourselves the best possible chance to be at our best, we’ve basically taken a ‘she’ll be right mate’ attitude and allowed the players to choose their own adventures prior to Perth..

The result : 6 for 48 —> 104 all out and our captain and best bowler looking physically underdone and well below his best after two days.. and the game is all but gone.

We had all year to be ready, we knew what India was going to bring.. but here we are, underprepared and beaten after two days

Its a piss take from the blokes wearing the baggy green

This pitch is a road now

Take out KL Rahul`s 50 and scores were even after the 1st innings .
Now the pitch has dried out and is a different proposition .

So what should they have been doing to prepare ?
Bring in a hard man ? LOL .
