Australia v India

NTA

Definitely our session with 130 runs and no wickets.

Head with a ton and Smith getting runs.

The weather might make it all pointless, but good work in general.

India should move on both Ashwin and Jadeja and play Washington Sundar as their spinner.

NTA

Smith's first ton in 18 months after a very lean 2024 where his average was in the 20s

I thought you’d have better taste after staying with me in NZ

I think that's what's called an oxymoron...

Bumrah has no help but still gets wickets - what a player

antipodean

Aussies playing for a draw when you look at the weather forecast.

Unless India crumble with the bat.

NTA

Cummins taking to a few people in the shed. Rain is back so might be time to declare

KiwiMurph

Wonder if Sharma understands the value of field placings

Starc gets Jaiswal 2nd ball with a not standard catcher forward of square leg

Jaiswal now 6-92 against left arm pace

NTA

FMD what a catch

Starc is India's Daddy

KiwiMurph

What made that catch was the early recognition and movement. Got into position so early to be able to get 2 hands to it

yep watching the batsmens feet movement and ball off the bat early gives you early recognition where the you need to be to meet the ball.

NTA

Kohli gone chasing a fairly full delivery from Hoff that he really didn't have to.

antipodean

India doing their level best to make this a contest despite the fact we'll probably only get another four sessions.

Superb tourists.

NTA

Disappointing that the wicket-rain-wicket-rain cycle has been broken.

NTA

Radar looks shit - blowing in from the SE tending East and a big bunch of shit coming in off the coast

NTA

The Gabba test was usually the first of the season, in November.

Cricket Australia took cash to move it, and now we're basically in monsoon season. Well done.

Sydney isn't much better of late, having a shit record in early January

MN5

Kohli gone chasing a fairly full delivery from Hoff that he really didn't have to.

In terms of standards compared to their Fab Four Beatles counterparts Kohli is DEFINITELY Ringo.

Ugly, but still alive?

nzzp

Cummins is some bowler.
India in real trouble again.

NTA

Inexplicable drop by Smith let KL Rahul off tho. Might pay for that as he can hang around
