Why even take the spud then, he must make a mean cordial.

A few thoughts.
I heard John Bucchahan interviewed before the game. One comment he made, was to be successful in India, you need to accept what you are given. Don’t try to swim against the tide. I get what he means, embrace the challenge. Did we do that?
A few years ago we had a training camp in Dubai to acclimatise. Why did we not do that again…. Was it so our test players could play a bit of T/20 and chill out before the AB Medal? Remember these blokes are on 6 and 7 figure wages. Where is the preparation or investment back into their games, to justify their pay packets.
Selection bloody diabolical. Yes a few injuries did not help, but the injuries were known before they left.
Game play… bowling plans to their bats. I couldn’t make one out as a viewer.
Pitch. No problem with them preparing a spinning wicket. We expect that. The partial preparation of certain areas is in the least questionable. But the BCCI rules the ICC.
My mate Davy. As a keen follower of the game for over 50 years, I’m not sure I can watch another minute of that selfish prick ( let’s undo and re do up the gloves every ball) stink it up. If he gets the nod for the 2nd test, I think I’m done.

I didn’t understand that either, perhaps something has changed?

Maybe he didn’t know she was pregnant when he was here

Must have a left arm spinner, Lyon struggles anyway, Head gives a 2nd off spinner.
We all know Warner wont be dropped, has an agreement with CA to keep his mouth shut and they in turn will keep selecting him until he decides he's had enough

Open bowling with Starc and Green.
Then bowl the 2 spinners and Agar for the bulk of the overs

We have been smashing teams all summer and the past few years.
We play the hardest home team and get pantsed. But it’s only one test.
I get it’s not just that we lost but it’s the way we lost. Played as bad as we could, almost as bad as the West Indies did against us this summer.
Let’s give them another crack to see if they improve, select the correct team, get a couple of injured blokes back, maybe not win but be competitive against the best home test nation.

Lets not forget the Gabba 2 day test recently [emoji38]
2. Given the strength of RSA's pace attack the Gabba pitch wasn't particularly to our advantage, heading in to the match. Also I hardly think the board wanted a 2-day test. Just a howler from the grounds staff.
So is the pitch doctored or not? supposed to be doctored for lefties, yet India's lefties put on 88 for the 8th wicket
you clearly dont get it, stick to the footy forums
