Australia v India

[MegaBonus]

and maybe admit they also faaaarked up when they got rid of Langer....

[Bomber]

Head back in, 3 specialist spinners and only one quick? Hmmm, the spinning deck still playing on their minds. You would think that Smith, Head and Labuschagne could collectively make up the third spinner?
Money is on India even with Aussies winning the toss (again).

Who opens the bowling with Pat? one of the spinners or Marnus, selectors and coach have well and truly faaarked up whatever chances we had over in India IMO

[Rookie]

Warner just out after drinks, surely he only has one more test innings left in his illustrous career

[God is an Englishman]

Said from the start that the concussion sub rule would be abused.

[MegaBonus]

thats not the only thing being violated at the moment......

dumb cricket by us.....

[Bomber]

Most naive and mentally poor series I've seen from us in quite a while, if not ever and we are only halfway through. Langer will be pissing himself laughing.

I'm sure the players will respond in the right way:

1. Undertake a review of the coaching staff.
2. Commence interview process for the next coach.
3. Under the captain's guidance review all current cricket sponsorships.

Wouldn’t be in a rush to change anything. Give it till the end of the year before making any changes

On a positive note, Warner might be doubtful.

Maybe they'll play him and then pretend he has concussion again.

He's had concussion for the last 4 years if you ask me.

Assuming players fit enough would go with this eleven next:
1 Khawaja
2 Head
3 Labuschagne
4 Smith (c)
5 Handscomb
6 Green
7 Carey
8 Starc
9 Lyon
10 Boland
11 Murphy

Surely 2, 3 and 4 above can collectively be the third spinner.

Just saw he (Pat) should be back in time for next test. So Boland or Starc will miss out.

You missed the 2nd question.

I think you just didn't pick him because he's English.

No, EVERYTHING is racism these days.

[Rookie]

Australia should just come home now

[Rookie]

This gets funnier with Ashton Agar being sent home, WTF are the selectors man

[Just Dave now]

aussies finally lose a toss but india already 4-45 so good start !

[eagleboy]

India out for 109 and Aus 1 for 105. Day 10 wicket on day 1 of a test.

Whilst a long way to go, it seems as though losing the toss worked in our favour this time.

On that deck, I wouldn't want to be chasing more than 70 or 80 in the fourth innings.

The fact I'm still concerned that we could lose this (despite the dominant position we're currently in) shows how much faith I have in them at the moment.
