1st Test: India v Australia @ Nagpur Feb 9-13, 2023

Come on down Toddy

Aussies set for 35-year first in major Test gamble

As skipper calls for consistency from bowlers

Murphy is set to partner Nathan Lyon, meaning Australia will play twin off-spinners for the first time in a Test since 1988 when spin duo Tim May and Peter Taylor lined up together in Pakistan.

 

[Twizzle]

I'd prefer Murphy over Agar, much better solution.

 

[TheParraboy]

It begins today 3pm

The last of the 4 test series between these nations (before it moves onto 5 tests)

I think a Davey 50 deserves a run ,skip, high jump and bat wave tbh...

India, Australia, and the start of a larger-than-life cricket yarn

The high-profile series plays out against the broader narrative of a World Test Championship final

About time we had a test cricketer called Todd.

David Warner batting right handed...

 

[Fangs]

Feeling a bit sorry for Mitchell Swepson. Not getting a mention anywhere. Its all about baldy and Todd.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol Davey batting right handed, its as if Ranga McDonald has just found out about left and right handedness.

 

[Twizzle]

probably saw the pitch and the area outside the left handers off stump

either way, I don't see Davey making double figures on this pitch

 

[Fangs]

Surely David is better off hitting a quick fire 20-30 than changing to right handed. He only has to middle a handful of shots.

Let Usman, Smith and Labs try to tough it out.

 

[bazza]

If you are facing a SLA orthodox or leg spinner - they are still going to put it in the rough patch whether you are batting left or right handed

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'd actually like to see Davey score a few runs in India left handed before trying this nonsense.

Currently averages 25.31 with a highest score of 71 in India

 

[King-Gutho94]

What are the odds Mark Waugh gets hooked from the commentary team for comments about the pitch.

Junior normally has no filter when it comes criticism of players or wickets.

And doesn't seem the type of guy that would give 2 shits what the BCCI want him to say.

Ask Mukesh Gupta.

maybe that is why he thinks right handed might be the fix

 

[yobbo84]

Travis Head dropped for Peter Handscombe? That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

 

[TheParraboy]

No head today

Handsome Pete over Head?

I don't think so.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Well its not like Travis has delivered overseas previously.

I don't think it's a horrific decision as some will make it out to be.
