Went to the MCG to watch the game. Bit cold and couldn't go in the bar, covid.
Burns was just sad, Travis Head was again disappointing, Smith wasn't his usual self. Pleased so far with Green.
We have a great bowling side, but why is our batting so brittle ?
Maybe there is too much "Big Bash" and not enough longer forms of the game.
Some of the batsmen are overpaid for what they achieve.
Agree about Paine, he's taken on responsibility very well. Shame the batsmen let him down.
Groin stretch. David Warner take note.
He's back. Although he should not be (IMO).Groin stretch. David Warner take note.
Is he back, do you know?
They do when the Aussies want to practise on a dry pitch.The GOAT is having a blinder. But, off-spin really shouldn't be turning like this on day 2. I'm not sure if India ever water their pitches.
My understanding is that in the past two series, the Indian curators have served up piches in the warm up games that are totally different to what they would provide in a test.We have no idea how to play good spinners on turning wickets.
But did we need warm up matches ?
No way, we are too good for that.
Bulldust.
My understanding is that in the past two series, the Indian curators have served up piches in the warm up games that are totally different to what they would provide in a test.
Hence the experts that run the team decided practice in in Australia where the curators can ty to make a pitch much closer to Indian conditions would be more useful.
Has not helped a great deal so far in the first two tests.
