1st Test: Australia v India at Adelaide Dec 6-10 2018 - INDIA WIN BY 31 RUNS

[typicalfan]

I'm still shaking my head over Khawaja's brain dead shot. Just when you start the think the penny has dropped, that happens.

Yep he pretty much got himself out. Handscomb too, they were both set up perfectly.

 

[TIGER14]

We would be well in front in this game if Finch wasn't a complete waste of oxygen.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

In our first innings the last 4 wickets got us 108 runs.. including Hazlewoods first-baller. I have faith.. And I've always thought that Nathan Lyon is the best batsman of the 4 bowlers.

India still with their necks in front but another 50 runs from Paine & Cummins (easier said than done I know) will get them flapping.. interesting to (hopefully) see how they handle it.

And how crucial could all those "no" no-balls be at the end of this match...

Anyway I'm just probably writing bollocks - but am excited in my office with the Cricinfo tab on my screen, especially that we have a test result on the line on the 5th day at lunch. Its rare.

 

[King hit]

The greatest ever win, Adelaide 2006

 

[Timbo]

Surely Matt Mott gets the nod before Jewel.

Simon Dart once again robbed by the selectors.

 

[Fangs]

Simon Dart once again robbed by the selectors.

You can add Jason 'Cheese' Arnberger to that list as well.

 

[King hit]

Shocker from Paine

 

[yobbo84]

Not a single brain cell between our Top 7.

 

[hineyrulz]

Another poor dismissal.

 

[Timbo]

That's all she wrote.

 

[Sphagnum]

Shame starc's missus isn't playing.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

and with that my excitement is crushed.. Oh well... what from here.

 

[Bazal]

Shame that, but Paine batted better than most of the actual batsmen. Good knock

 

[Eelectrica]

But why?

I've just read the cricinfo description. Bloody hell.

 

[Eelectrica]

Starc, just go T-20 mode. Everyone else has.

 

[Sphagnum]

Every single batsman got our caught. Dreadful commitment in a 4th innings run chase.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

game not over at all, 2 best batsman out there now Starc and Cummins

 

[Matt23]

Shame starc's missus isn't playing.

Or Ellyse Perry

 

[Sphagnum]

Surely starc realises he only needs to hit 23 sixes and this baby is over.

 

[hineyrulz]

Or Ellyse Perry

Hell we’d take Belinda Clarke.
