1st Test: India v Australia at Pune on Feb 23-27, 2017 - AUST WIN BY 333 RUNS

[Pete Cash]

Wow thats a titan effort from Australia.

Great stuff. SOK outstanding. Smiths century on that pitch was crucial. Renshaw and Starc set up the win with their 50s in the first innings.

India expected Australia to crumble like the piece of shit pitch they dished up. Not f**king likely merkins.

O'Keefe's Test average before this game was 32.78. It will now be 20.34

 

[undertaker]

Khawaja in for Shaun Marsh
Nevill in for Matthew Wade.

Those changes must be made, but most likely won't.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

To win that match with the handicap of having the marsh brothersand wade in the side makes it even more sweet.

Dont laugh. He'll be the Adam Voges of bowling!

Cricinfo will be epic tonight.

A fkn mazing !!!

Well done Sokky, Goat, Smith, Haze, Starc, Renshaw.

Marsh/s can choke on a dk.

Not bad for a white ball specialist who should have been left out for Agar or Swepson

The weak link of that attack went ok LOL

 

[Eelectrica]

Amazing. Somehow we flipped the script. Whatever happens the rest of this tour we've already exceeded expectations, just got to keep momentum going somehow.

Well done SOK, broke the back of India and just didn't let them back up.
Smithy for holding the innings together,
Starc. our real allrounder, getting those runs at the end of the first and opening the door to the collapse.
Renshaw on debut in India, despite being a bit crook exceded expectations once again. Really wonder what he'll be doing in 4-5 years time if he keeps his head screwed on.

Now can we please get rid of Mitch Marsh at least, if he's not required to bowl, swap him for a proper batsman, like say, I don't know... Perhaps Khawaja! We dodged a bullet with his selection, we know India are going to strike back and strike

 

[AlwaysGreen]

SOK with 12/70 has the tenth best match figures for Australia in tests.
The best figures against India for an Australian.

 

[undertaker]

Smith 109, Starc 61, O'Keefe 12 wickets, Lyon 5 wickets

As usual, NSW leaving the other Australian states/territories for dead.

Watching the replay of the dismissals, that was a very ordinary leave from Kohli

Surely SOK was MotM?!

Whoever made that decision should never be allowed to choose MOTM again. I get their reasoning but there's no way you can't give it to a bloke who took 6fa in both innings.
