4th Test: India v Australia at Dharamsala on Mar 25-29, 2017

The word 3 days out is that the pitch is green and bouncy and its rained some. Bird may be a chance of being included.

I'm expecting a few phone calls to be made by the Indian team.

We will destroy India if it is bouncy, hell another Davey century in a session is on the cards

I think it will be similar to the 3rd test, they will be hoping to win the toss and assume the Australia of old will appear when we bat

Australia will win this in spite of Wade. He's the worst No.7 since Ben Kusto.

Kohli apparently in doubt with his shoulder injury.

its probably poor attempt at mind games but losing Kohli would be like us losing Wadey.

Devastating

 

[lockyno1]

Hope Kholi plays he's been Australia's best player

Pitch Doctor has arrived.

dunno mate, his presence on the field lifts his team, he is a decent skipper

I noticed a difference when he came back on the pitch in the 3rd test, things were just being allowed to happen and he changed that when he came on

I think they are a better team with him on the pitch

Tried to youtube some highlights of Ben Kusto to take me back but couldn't find any

The only 'injury' Kohli has is if he does a Ganguly/Harbhajan, when they both mysteriously pulled out 'injured' on the morning of the 2004 Nagpur test after seeing the pitch was green (the test where Australia won the series).

Indian media expect the ball to swing

Had a win percentage of 52.78% when donning the blue and gold jersey (40.9% with the dragons and 24.14% with Huddersfield)

Remember that night he carved up Manly on his own, like that Stoinis century in the one dayer..

 

[undertaker]

haha yes good point

just to bring back some good memories of the incident:


Also, Adam Gilchrist - who was captain as Ponting was injured - wrote about it in his autobiography:

If Kohli doesn't end up playing and we win they can't use that as an excuse cos we are without Mitchell Starc so it ends up even

Well we don't have Mitch Marsh who has probably been better for than Kholi in this series, so we are really up against it.

They'll use anything as an excuse. Indian cricketers and their fans are some of the most childish human beings on the planet. If we win it'll be due to Smith being a cheat according to them.

Yep, Smith looking to the dressing room for half a second will be the reason they lost the series....(if we somehow win)

 

[Twizzle]

wasn't half a second Baz, apparently he did it for 3 days

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Surprised he was able to keep his eye on the ball with all the time he spent looking at the dressing room....

 

[hineyrulz]

Kholi the cat is out.

 

[Bazal]

Kholi the cat is out.

Woohoo!
