Langer will have them fired up at lunch

Spicy walnut and pesto salad followed by a speech

Be fierce
Hold on to our catches
Win the small battles
Lot of energy

 

[mozza91]

We should still win but we could be undone by the 3 P’s.
Pujara, Pant and Paine.

This is gonna be a draw....

In true Indian style too

Pant drops 2 catches first innings, cops one on the arm, doesn't keep 2nd innings.. comes out and start flaying our attack to all parts, then the decider at the Gabba is supposedly not going to go ahead

They will retain based on the fact they held the trophy before this series

 

[blaza88z]

I'm not doubting he copped a knock and was probably injured but if you can belt the ball around for basically a run a ball 70 or so.. India clearly have taken advantage of a rule knowing that Saha is the better keeper

It annoys the f**k out of me

I agree that Paine is far from the #1 wicketkeeper in Australia.

However, CA and the national selectors are showing loyalty to him and have given him an extended run in the side solely due to the way he's held the team together since he took over the captaincy from Steve Smith. Purely as a PR exercise, CA chose the person they knew would appeal to parents with young children after Sandpapergate.

Paine would either need to reinjure the finger Dirk Nannes shattered a decade ago, or have an absolute shocker of a series for the selectors to force their hand in his retirement. Otherwise, they will let him bow out on his own terms, which most likely will be after next summer's Ashes series (he'll be 37 by then)

He's the Bradbury of Australian cricket.

Starc looking about as threatening as an Aiden Toleman hit up.

 

[Sphagnum]

Great start to the all important session... Surely they are throwing here to appease the Cricket overlords

 

[hineyrulz]

Paine giving Pant an easy single just after lunch, FMD absolutely clueless.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol, we're in deep shit here

 

[TIGER14]

Starc looking about as threatening as an Aiden Toleman hit up.

It'd be nice if started bowling something a bit more than just throw downs...

 

[hineyrulz]

Starc bowling absolute pies.

 

[hineyrulz]

Maybe the crowd should start abusing our players instead.

 

[This Year?]

Lol, we're in deep shit here

Where's that guy to tell us it's just keyboard panic now?
Just need the Bunniesman kiss of death and it's a foregone conclusion.

 

[TheParraboy]

How good is test cricket?

 

[Sphagnum]

Paine would be better off shelfing Starc until the new ball and then not using him then either.
