2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

[Lightning McQueen]

First over, bounce already inconsistent.

Can we bat for 2 sessions?

That's the key. Bat for 2 more sessions and that pitch is going to turn into a Virat Kohli (A ******* big headed ****)

If Virat was an Aussie we'd be voting him in for PM, we're a fickle lot

Rubbish. We lambast Warner for carrying on like a flog, but it's okay when Kohli does it?

[Dutchy]

Spot on LM, I love him. The ones that hate him also probably complain about the lack of characters int he game these days....

50 to Usman

Lead 200

[bertiebeatle]

50 to Usman

Lead 200

100 more & we should be right

150 and I'll be more confident....Finch with the pads on so still have a batsman to come plus Cummins.

Exactly my point.

I think Warner out-idiots Kohli by a long way.

Motion seconded !

I'm a 43 year old fat former B grade bowler.

I'm also backing myself to get Handscomb out inside 4 overs.

4 overs
So I will assume that bowling spell would be in a 20/20 match ....

A lot of posters , rightly having a go at Travis Heads 2nd innings disMissAL
I am more concerned about the 2nd innings disMissALs dismissals of Peter Handscombe and Marcus Harris

Not concerned about Harris' dismissal. That's purely a judgement call that he can work on. Handscombe's issues are far-more ingrained and self-destructive. Travis is just about learning when and where. He could take a leaf out of the two gents this morning who are ignoring the temptation and grinding India out of the equation.

Good session by Australia, I think that session has removed any chance of India winning
Can only be a Draw or win for Aussies now.

I agree it was a great session but a lead of at least 320 is required to cancel India from the game IMO. Kohli is always a danger

How the hell could it be a draw from here? 150 overs to be bowled still

[Lightning McQueen]

FMD, just seen the Handscomb dismissal, use that piece of wood in your hands son.

He looks a candidate with that high bat lift, that is insanely high.

All that hard work almost undone

Kohli may carry on like a fool but hes nothing like warner. Warner consistently dished it out then cried like a baby when he recieved it back. Kohli over the last few years has matured greatly and his is more great theatre then petulent and frankly stupid sledging lile warner.

not so sure about that

That's a very revisionist take. He only reacted once IMO - to the personal sledging in Sth Africa.

By all reports, Kohli says a lot of unpleasant stuff in Hindi. The way he's acted in Australia so far is no different to how Warner behaved most of the time.
