2nd Test: India v Australia @ Delhi Feb 17-21, 2023

Paddy is just not a captain. We need an onfield general and that's not Pat's game.
Twice we had our noses in front, twice we let it slip.

his shot said a lot, imagine an old hardhead like AB playing that shot first ball ?

I'm not suggesting Paddy is a top order batsman, but the application, or lack of, was astounding

Your captain should set the tone and the expectations. Patty certainly did that

I think I heard Cummins talking about the small differences between the sides being magnified.

Can't even admit just how short of the mark they are at the moment. No. Its not a small difference thats being exploited, its a f***ng chasm being exposed. Take the blow to your fragile egos, harden the f up and take your medicine. We won one or two sessions the entire match. We weren't even close.

the only difference is that one side bats and gets runs while the other doesn't

The Aussies have this fixation with sweeping as if it is the answer to scoring runs in India, Matt Hayden was the exception, he did it successfully, but he was a giant of a man with a large reach advantage, so if they are using his method as a blue print to succeed they are bound to fail . The sooner these called professionals get their defence in order, play straight and use their feet ,the sooner they may see day 4 in a test in India.
