CRICKET Australia v India Summer

I think it’s safe to say Konstas and Davies are both a fair while off being remotely discussable. Give them 2 more years and they’ll both be primed I reckon.

Davies is like a young Head. He has immense talent, just needs to learn to bat with controlled attacking instincts. Counter punching is his natural style but you need to not do it in a reckless way.
 
Webster out edging to the slips for 5. Another very poor shot from the A team.
 
Raining. Very Melbourne day today, probably last 5 mins.

Watching that replay of Konstas LBW, I think he might have been a bit unlucky to be honest.
 
Surely they don't go with Harris. Don't do it selectors.

Yeah always looks like he gets out trying to move the game forward instead of getting bogged down trying to survive. That's a good sign in my books.
 
Well Harris was either out edged or LBW and the ump said no to both. Maybe JUST pitching outside leg. Either way, very very lucky.
 
My kids will all have the middle name Krishna. **** sakes if that **** made a 100 I would have gone full democrat after trump election win mode.

Haha Rahul. What on earth was he trying to do?
 
the way this game is heading if McSweeney can be unbeaten in the next innings it’s his.
 
Well, we just gift wrapped and hand delivered Pakistan its first win against us in Australia for several years..

But hey, as long as our batsmen all failed playing ‘their way’, we ignore everything and everyone and move on to the next game with the mindset of failing ‘our way’ again 😵‍💫

Aside from Carey, are any batsmen going in to the test series in any form whatsoever? If McSweeney makes it, he is basically the only one.

That it was hitting middle and not off ?
For an opener he doesn`t seem to understand where his stumps are ?
Takes guard on middle then moves to off at delivery and is shocked when he gets hit in front by in swingers .
His bat is not even swinging in line with the ball .

I was excited to see this kid after the hype of twin centuries . Only to realise he is a long way from the Australian team ATM .

What would you change ?
Looked like some pretty fine swing and pace by Rauf ?
 
"We've won I think 16 out of the last 19 games, and we've got some changing personnel within that, but we believe in the style we want to play as a group.
"If you look at the dismissals, there were some defensive strokes within that. I think it's just finding that balance.

Ronnie .
 
So you’d assume Bancroft is out of the running.

Konstas did well batting 4. McSweeney looked the best of the lot but didn’t kick on in either innings opening but did well in the first game. Harris did well in the first innings but golden duck in the second with all the concerns still there.

The best performer from all players - Webster.

So what do you do if you are a selector
