CRICKET Australia v India Summer

[kman]

India played amazing with both their bowling and batting combined to terrorise Australia. Australia needs to make some changes and definitely need to fix their opening batting definitely.

Preparation hasn’t been what it should be for a Test series.

No way, who could have guessed.

At what point does the coaching etc get scrutinised?

Probably not yet. Somehow, this coach provided a master class in the world cup final. He is seeming a bit like Kevvie though to be honest - good bloke who struck lighting in a bottle for a season and is now being found out.

Hmmm...what about Bartlett? He's just hit 50 - has a decent batting record and we know what he can do with the ball.

Nearly as glaring as our problems in this Test have been Australian commentators and ex players sucking on the teet of Indian cricket over the last four days..

Shameless ‘simping’ for a seat on that IPL gravy train

Yep so painful to listen to... It's because their coverage, including commentary I believe? goes over to India as well.

They're simping hard because India pay the bills for international cricket at the moment.

Surely we give Neser a go if we want someone who can hold a bat at 8

For sure but he’s injured.

Also Cummins has said no changes likely for Adelaide unless someone is injured and they might get there a day early for a bit of prep, they need some rest and recuperation time.

And they wonder why a lot of fans bag them out for being soft.

 

[Unbreakable]

Jayden Goodwin is probably one we need to consider for a middle order role if we're dropping Marnus (Very unlikely until this series, I'd imagine, but still good to plan ahead).

Last 15 innings in Sheffield Shield he's averaging 43.6, including a combined 208 runs in the ongoing game against South Australia.

Highest scores of 139, 115, 94, 85, 69, 46 & 43 in those 15 innings.

Good stock as well, son of Murray Goodwin.
