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

Just watching back over the highlights.

On the subject of spinners, who remembers old mate Jason Krejza? 12 wickets on debut in India for 1.4 million runs. He sure could rip em!

Haha yep, he could take wickets but had no ability in keeping it tight and applying pressure. Would be a great limited overs players though.

I think we'll be right. I think India will struggle to get 200. If our spinners don't run through them again then Starc and Haze will. The pitch doesn't just take spin it's also quite bouncy for an Indian pitch. Facing Starc on it after another day of wear would be no fun at all.

I hope you're right.

What I like is that our bowlers have actually had a chance to put their feet up and have a little break after their hard work.
Too often lately our bowlers have had a great first innings only to have a batting collapse and they're back out their shortly after without properly recharging the batteries.

Of course I'm not writing India off, England looked to be in real good positions too only to end up being thumped, so game on what ever score we end up setting. If any team can do it, it's this Indian side.

In wade we trust

 

[hineyrulz]

It's Wadey time!!

MMarsh finally ran out of luck.

 

[Twizzle]

decent innings from MMarsh, 31 is not a bad score in the context of this game

if Wade can do the same it puts us in a strong position

 

[El Diablo]

Wade will probably last as long as one of Tommy's showers

 

[Hutty1986]

Just when Shitchell looked like he might produce the first quality knock of his career he gets out

 

[BestHookerFarrah]

31 is a decent knock on this pitch.

 

[Mr Angry]

Smmmiifffyyy

 

[Twizzle]

Just when Shitchell looked like he might produce the first quality knock of his career he gets out

but you're never really in on this pitch according to the Indian commentators

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol no more reviews!!

Smiffy needs a Lotto ticket.

 

[Twizzle]

niiiiiice Smudge

 

[Hutty1986]

but you're never really in on this pitch according to the Indian commentators

To be fair, neither Marsh is ever really in on any pitch

 

[Twizzle]

Lol no more reviews!!

Smiffy needs a Lotto ticket.

[El Diablo]

Kholi will have a cry after he game

I don't see why the DRS isn't a system in the hands of the umpires and the third umpire. That said suck it India. Didn't want to use the thing because it'd bring your beloved batting averages down.

 

[Iafeta]

They need roofs on the grandstand. It looks like a horrible joint outside the ground. Yuck.

 

[Twizzle]

This is a massive innings from Smudger on this pitch, he's a class act

 

[Twizzle]

350 lead, 5 wickets down, bring it home boys
