I know we laugh about the stupid control percentage stat, but how is Watto at 88% when he has spend most of his innings flailing at bouncers and trying to get out?

Different type of game though. The way of beating Australia is to put pressure on the fragile like lunatics with the ball. India don't bowl as well.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

Idk, the main feature of India's recent for to me has been their pace attack and their use of the short ball. Shami, Yadav, Sharma would be watching this innings with interest.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

If Riaz doesn't get man of the match it's because of racism.

Smith has scored like a gazillion runs this summer against India. I know they are probably due against us and all but its not exactly the same.

It's like was given a dare by Daimo and Chooka to smash it into lights, and they'd buy him a couple of slabs of VB. On the other hand, in the words of the great Roy Slaven, the Brain is Often the Enemy.

Top shelf performance by the boys. Bit of a brain explosion at the start there but we got the points. We came here to play cricket and its a game of 2 sides but we wanted it more in the end.
