Australia v India

[Bucking Beads]

Good result. I thought we'd roll over for sure

 

[bb_gun]

Am I right thinking that India must win the next test to gat BG trophy. No pressure Kohli you fuckwit.

Correct, a draw is a win for us, essentially.

 

[1910]

Showed real reliance in the way they batted. They 'lost' the game though by not getting enough the first innings when they were in a position to post 600.

 

[1910]

Looking ahead to the fourth test, would it be worth considering:

1. Renshaw
2. Marsh
3. Smith
4. Handscomb
5. Maxwell
6. Stoinis
7. Wade
8. Cummins
9. SOK / Agar (depending how SOK pulls up)
10. Hazlewood
11. Lyon

Just throwing it out there, Warner comes straight back in for anywhere outside Asia.

His problem isn't just Asia.

Home av- 59.2
Away av- 36.8

He's averaged 22 last three away series. Sri Lanka, New Zealand and India. Passed 50 once in 15 innings.

why do the Aussies win if the fourth test is a draw?

 

[Foordy]

why do the Aussies win if the fourth test is a draw?

they will retain the trophy with a drawn series

 

[Fozz]

why do the Aussies win if the fourth test is a draw?

Because we already hold the trophy so we will retain it if the series is a draw.

Pitch at 4th test venue, Dharamsala, potentially a green mamba.

The only time I wouldn't have minded having Mitch Marsh..

I'd be down with playing 3 quicks this game, rest O'Keefe after the million overs he bowled last game.

1. Warner
2. Renshaw
3. Smith (c)
4. S.Marsh
5. Handscomb
6. Maxwell
7. Wade
8. Cummins
9. Hazlewood
10. Bird
11. Lyon

I've heard an unlikely whisper somewhere this is an option being thrown around:

1. SMarsh
2. Renshaw
3. Smith
4. Stoinis
5. Handscomb
6. Maxwell
7. Wade
8. Agar
9. Cummins
10. Hazlewood
11. Lyon

Unlikely but it's being mooted.

 

[Unbreakable]

Stoinis averages like 15 in FC this year batting at 3, I highly doubt he gets a run at 2nd drop.

I obviously highly hope he doesn't get a run obviously. ;)

If its going to be a quicker surface, it will suit Warner a lot more

 

[Socnorb]

Something like this I reckon.

1. warner
2. Renshaw
3. Smith
4. Smarsh
5. Handscomb
6. Maxwell
7. Wade
8. Cummins
9. Bird
10. Hazlewood
11. Lyon

Clearly you're a genius. I'd do well to track your moves more closely.

 

[Unbreakable]

Kohli is out

 

[broncsgoat]

**** me the scenery around this ground looks amazing.

Shame Kohli is out, gives them a ready made excuse.

Great toss to win, hopefully Warner makes some runs.

Let's go!
