No doubt that India have not been on form in these first 2 home tests Even when other teams win in India it is never easy |
Re: The Cricket Thread
I've been glued to IND/AUS from day 1, great test cricket.
No idea who will win, this is a Good Thing. Renshaw is a top prospect and will be a fking pest during The Ashes. :) |

Re: The Cricket Thread
This wicket has fallen apart. 188 is a tough ask.

Re: The Cricket Thread
OK Series on. Something tells me again, this series will be decided by the toss of the coin.

110 was a tough ask the way the likes of Marsh and Wade capitulated. Disappointing after a promising first test and 3 days of this. Something has gone wrong in test cricket when tests rarely go to 4th let alone 5th day these days. That's 8 innings for the two teams in about 6.5 days. I suspect too much pyjama cricket. Discussion point.

Steve Smith is a bit of a wanker but let's face it, so is Virat Kohli

All good fun, makes the rest of the series an event. Thoroughly enjoyed the ebb and flow of this one. |

Aussies generally too keen to be aggressive and try to get "easy runs" and not work for them? This seems to be a more likely explanation. Renshaw is the future for wider success not the flat track bullies the prevailing He Man culture promotes. Aussies just don't like it up 'em, been proven time and time again. ;) They are the French of the sporting world, show them a bit of ticker and they fold like wet cardboard. I'd label this a discussion point but it seems so blindingly obvious I won't bother. ;) |

Were you watching a different match? The whole match hasn't seen much batting aggression. Averages in the 2's. Finished in 4 days. Bowling assisted wickets maybe? Yes. Anyhow, its fair for both teams. Just need to win the toss to bat on the pitch at its best. Simple formula. |
