Cool story about the Indian bowler Australia flew in because he has a similar action to Ashwin.

so the good team is falling behind the pace after that last wicket? I'm guessing any individual t20 match is pretty random, by which I mean the better team loses almost half the time? the baseball solution to that problem is to play two thousand games a season but you've got better forms of cricket taking up big parts of the summer of course

The lad Tangerine appears to be in a similar mould to his da. 55 from 170 balls against Zimbers is a pretty doughty day.

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.

Cricket Australia seriously take their brains put the moment the team gets on the plane for India.

Ashton Agar is considered "highly likely" to be named tomorrow to parter Lyon. India are going to cheat and doctor the poo poo out the pitch and they're going to pick Agar who doesn't seem to be able to turn a loving corner let alone a red ball.

Pitches are going to be doctored as gently caress. If you can't spin it there you're never going to.

seriouspost, why is preparing a spinning track to suit your spin bowlers considered "doctoring" and tantamount to cheating, but preparing a greentop for seamers or a fast bouncing deck for the quicks a-okay?

also lol that aus are worried about left-handers struggling, so they dropped head instead of warner

Has Cummins ever lost a toss?

Lol at picking Murphy. 7 first class matches.

Predicting 3-1 India. Warner to score less than 100 for the series.

I know Head is garbage at the subcontinent but he's a bit stiff getting dropped. At least give him a go. Bazball style innings wouldn't go astray.

Dropping head is pants on head dumb.



Its cheating because they haven't watered or attended to the pitch in the good length areas to left handers where their spinners will be bowling right into.

If Australia with their all left batting line up were letting the left side of pitches outside off stump on a good length go to poo poo deliberately the BCCI would pitch a fit and demand a venue change or they'd pull out.

This is 100% cheating and if it wasn't for the cricket world's fear of the Indian juggernaut it absolutely would be leading to fines and points taken at the very least.

Its obvious what they're doing.
