2nd Test: Australia v India at Perth Dec 14-18 2018 - AUSTRALIA WON BY 146 RUNS

[Mr Spock!]

Tim Paine smiling like a doofus, just happy to be out there.

Tim's a nice guy.

 

[Timbo]

Only 19-odd thousand at the game today.. in the new stadium with a poised test match. Surprisingly and alarmingly low for mine

Ticket prices were outrageous.

Someone at CA needs firing over prices. In a world that contains the BBL you aren’t going to take kids to a test match if it’s going to cost you four times as much.

 

[umina panther]

We have these merkins rattled

 

[jargan83]

Virat Kohli totally alpha’d Tim Paine.

Depends if you hate yours kids or not? I barely watch that crap so I'd never force it on my son

 

[Hutty1986]

Wonder if the media will bag kleenex for his shit talking? Somehow, i doubt it...

What did Kohli say about 2 nil?

Fair response from Paine whatever it was.

I thought we were playing in the UAE.

 

[some11]

Anything less than a ~240 lead tomorrow and we're toast.

What did Kohli say about 2 nil?

Fair response from Paine whatever it was.

I think he said that takes the edge and its 2-0

 

[Pete Cash]

Also ive been pretty doom and gloom but the pitch will be hard to bat on if we bowl well and they dont have tons outside of kohli and pujara and their tail is legit trash

We can still win

Gotta hit it first dickhead.

What was the price of a seat? General admission

 

[Hutty1986]

We might need another big haul from Lyon if we are to roll these f**kwits cheaply. Also can't afford a bad day from Starc, who can bleed runs.

 

[TheParraboy]

175 lead

5 wickets left (maybe add Finch?)

Don't think India can reach 300, so I guess anything over that to set them we set ourselves up nicely

Crucial we are batting well after lunch tomorrow

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Even with a dross Australia side...I still hope India get cancer.

 

[no name]

How the f**k did this nerd Whateley get a gig in sports media?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Aussie middle order needs a patient player.

Handscomb has to go, he’s just not test standard. At least not at the moment.

Travis Head needs to stop playing stupid shots.

Kurtis Patterson for the middle order to replace Handscomb.

Unfortunately we’re probably stuck with Shaun Marsh until Smith is back.

Gotta hit it first dickhead.

Pretty sure Paine said you have to bat first big head.

Tim Paine looks like a guy just itching to get his inner ugly Australian out,
