CRICKET Australia v India Summer

[BroncsFan]

And immediately the pressure goes up. Shame Starc has those kinds of bad spells in him.

I reckon Starc against these two righties is probably a different proposition though

 

[Sproj]

I'd review

 

[Sproj]

Ok I'd be wrong - height

 

[BroncsFan]

Can't keep Gill on strike... I reckon they'd get him out if only they could get a few balls in a row at him

 

[Sproj]

That's an amazing over, Kohli did very well to survive it.

 

[BroncsFan]

Nice work from Boland... he's looked dangerous whenever he's gone to top of off... was bowling really wide to Kohli and letting him leave way too much... back to the off stump there and gets him

 

[BroncsFan]

Pant and Gill out there now... if this partnership lasts for any period of time this deficit could be reduced quite quickly.

 

[BroncsFan]

Pant trying to take Boland out of the attack with that shot... he knows he's a danger if you let him just get in a groove

 

[BroncsFan]

Faaaark ... a better throw and Pant is gone there.. .missed chance

 

[BroncsFan]

Dropped by Smith... would've been a screamer, but **** we needed a screamer at that moment

 

[BroncsFan]

What a fucking ball from Starc... big inswinger to take out middle... classic Starc dismissal to get Gill

 

[BroncsFan]

Another for Starc except it's a massive no ball... **** !!

Edit: Looked like Sharma hit it anyway, so wouldn't have been out

 

[BroncsFan]

Rohit looks past it... bloke could've been out about 3 times in his 15 balls out there

What do you do with Smith? He looks a mile off it. He’s got the runs on the board in his career though, so you can’t drop him.

Marsh though, why persist with him if he doesn’t score in the second innings here? Webster is the one guy at Shield level who has been bashing the door down for a couple of seasons now, no need to keep sticking with Marsh.

You drop him. I don’t know how you can keep picking him. He is in shocking form. Its wraps. Great career but it’s time to call it. He just hasn’t looked as intensely interested in cricket for some time and when that happens it’s time to give it up. He isn’t in shape, he isn’t improving, his energy is always low. He didn’t even do well in the shield game he played. I do really like him and respect him but I don’t have faith in him anymore and I’m sorry we aren’t in a position to just waste development opportunity on arguably more in form and valuable batsman cause of what he has done in the past, most of which long in the past now.

 

[BroncsFan]

That dismissal is becoming the Cummins classic wicket nowadays... nipping away off the seam and taking the top of off

 

[Allo]

I want to see Head belt the living daylights out of Siraj. ****'s getting lippy and Head's the throwback guy that would happily oblige

 

[Big Del]

If some players hadn’t turned up to Perth just a fraction under prepared, we might not be 0-1 down in the series..

Do you have insights to the preparation ?
Are you on the sack the coach wagon too ?

Were you happy with the performance in Perth? Have you been happy with the batsmen in test cricket the last 24 months?
