Legitimately shocked that they haven't gone with either in the first match of the series

Sundar was their best spinner last test

Does not compare to the ashes. But still a big series this one. Foxtel trying to make it sound as big as the ashes.

This series has effectively replaced what the Frank Worrell Trophy was from the mid 70's, 80's and 90's. A battle to see who is the best test nation - not every series, but most of them.

India's kit wouldn't have looked out of place in the 79/80 World Series Cup.

So your not shocked neither jedaja or Ashwin are playing?

i do like it i have to say

 

[Around the Wicket]

Yeah found this odd as well. 99% of the time you bat every time in Australia.

Pitch looks spicy early which with the limited prep we’ll probably but around tea time.

Surprised one is playing but not shocked. Definitely not surprised both aren’t there

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

The camera seems to be enamored of Virat

 

[Black Diamond]

Not a fan of this type of pageantry in cricket.

nobody cares about all this crap

just play the damn game

SA played 4 the other day I think against Bangladesh. They haven’t all kept in a test or anything but all have stumpings at domestic level. 3 of them you’d say are proper keepers (Rickelton, Verreyne, Stubbs). Their white ball teams have been stacked with them when they’ve had guys like Klaasen, De Kock etc in them.

Sri Lanka also seem to regularly have 3 or so keeper batsmen in their test side

Oh no doubt there's a bit in it with the rain we had earlier in the week.

Cummins and Starc are in hot form at the moment so I agree that we'll be batting later today.

 

[Moonwatcher]

My man went all in on that ending to the Anthem.

 

[Gough]

We went into Tests without a keeper when they were trying to retro fit Wayne Phillips into the job.

 

[Plugger35]

Was deliberating between Kayo and 7, and now i've seen Hayden on the coverage in that f**n hat, it's an easy choice

Hayden on Ch7 and Warner on Fox makes it a close call but Ch7 also have Langer to tip things in favour of Fox.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Two poor renditions of anthems that weren't all that great to begin with!

 

[ams4crows]

Why is Cummins number a different colour to the rest it's a lighter shade of green

 

[Around the Wicket]

Why? You want days 2-3 on prime days which are weekends not weekdays

You’d hope to get a pitch that would go late 4th day minimum so I like Thursday start as well, if this goes deep we have 2 days Monday / Tuesday which isn’t ideal.

Perhaps its a symptom of tests not regularly going 5 days any more. By the end of day three you "should" only be towards the end of the team batting second's first innings. You're barely half way through the game. People are going to be more likely to book in a day off work at the start of the test, which should flow through to higher crowds.

I think day 4 is far more "prime" than day 2... It's make or break at that stage

I'm definitely watching on Fox

Precisely! If this tests goes the distance there will legitimately be 12 people there on Tuesday to see it.

Maybe it's to indicate him being captain?

That's all I can think of.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Rahul has a very average record to consistently get another shot time and time again.

 

[troybe]

Just pressed 90 on the remote to watch the cricket. Hahaha

 

[Bedi]

down leg, surprise surprise
