1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

[Bazal]

curious to know what you got Baz

I'm being a bit sensible in my old age and also getting fit again tbh since the dad bod Split 12 Byron Bay No Carb Mids and 12 Stone and Wood Hinterland Big Pales

I’m still a little on edge. We were supposed to beat them here last time as well and it didn’t happen.

At least we are Gnomeless this time.

Is Justin Langer handing the young fella a new baggy green cap??

Reckon it will be punter.

Was a Ponting fan growing up

I hope so. Or fellow WA great Ashton Agar.

Hilton Cartwright IMO.

Or maybe the legendary Adam Voges.

India toss , and are batting

 

[Fangs]

No Ashwin or Jadeja.

They are both quite handy with the bat. If we blast through their top order they might regret leaving them out.

Yep play one of them for batting alone.

My tip is the prickly Gambhir will be gone after the series if they get dusted 4-1 or 5-0.

I don't mind the ocassional Byron Bay fruit beer, although I wouldn't exactly refer to it as beer.

Ravi on the roids ?

he's pumped

When isn't Ravi pumped.

I think he is one of the few Indian's greats Australian's always love and respect.

Great get for Fox Cricket to have him in the comm box.

 

[Bazal]

Ashwin is useless in Aus anyway. Jadeja is a bit of a surprise but I'd say they're backing Sundars height and bounce

Backing Washington to do the job like he did in Brisbane on the last tour.

But we didn't have a chance to sight him last time. I feel at times our team does prepare well and spends plenty of time planning. Not sure they are so great when they see new faces. Washington isn't new anymore.

I'm feeling 4-0.

Why did Shastri step down as coach? Or was he given the sack?

He left like a tracer bullet

 

[Fangs]

And the Smith/Ponting comparisons will come in hot if Smith doesn't perform.

It was Ponting century against India at the SCG that kept him alive. Stayed on too long after that. Smith hasn't fallen away that much yet but he is under big pressure this year.
