@nzzp you getting FTA feed? Ponting etc

I quite like Ponting commentating. He’s measured and has good insights without it being about him

He's just basically called the first three overs of the bowling plan, even the shorter ball to Agarwal just now.

Pointing calls the game, not the fucking horse shit like Warne

@KiwiMurph said in Australia v India:

What's the thinking on the decision to bat first in a day/night test?

Good idea or bad idea?

Good idea. These games tend to come down to timing - you need to avoid batting at dusk if at all possible. You can't turn down a chance to bat in the day.

I should imagine players are used to playing at night these days. Question I'd have is whether the ball favours daylight or not.

[NTA]

@antipodean evidence to date suggests the pink ball at night is more difficult to play

Ponting is a bloody good commentator. He's actually pretty funny. Doesn't mind having a laugh at himself. And by fuck he's sharp in his analysis from a team and plan point of view. I have really turned around my opinion of him.

I'll take him and Isa Guha any day of the week

Cummins 3.4 overs, 1 run.

These guys are patient.

EDIT: Pujara is solid but some of these Cummins deliveries are moving just a touch and bring inside edges

GOM post: Proper cricket.

[NTA]

Almost the same as the first one: bad front foot, gap between bat and pad, too slow

[NTA]

Fuck came off the seam, too

[nzzp]

@NTA the first one didn't have to play at

That one was a great delivery

[NTA]

@nzzp yep - on first view I thought it was wider

[NTA]

Airtight new kid

[NTA]

Settler at 131. Huge noball tho

[NTA]

Fuck straight up to 138. This kid is massive. Should have played rugby

[NTA]

Hoff is extremely unlucky not to have a wicket

[NTA]

Something up with Smith there. Chasing behind slip he kept running like he had a wonky ankle or knee
