Greg Chappell, underarm bowl mastermind, pens letter to Tim Paine
The man who instigated the 1981 underarm bowling incident has some lessons to pass on.
Greg sounds like he regrets underarm 81 to this day
I bet he does, it generated so much controversy for nothing. I mean I wasn't actually alive when it happened but it still pisses me off. And the chances of him actually hitting a 6 on those massive boundaries with an old bat were almost zero.
Indeed. Christ we have an embarrassing inferiority complex when it comes to Australia. That โincidentโ should have been forgotten decades ago.

Rohit Sharma's interesting stat
Home average: ๐ด๐ด.๐ฏ๐ฏ
Away average: ๐ฎ๐ณ.๐ฑ๐ด
๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐: Steven Smith's test avg + 1.32The worst average margin (home-away) in test cricket history.
Look up Anil Kumble bowling average Home V Away - it basically doubles
Donโt know how to. Can some nerd on here do it ?
Stats like this make all the bleating from the Bobs and Vagene crew about how our KW only scores at home extremely laughable. ( at last count 11 tons away, 13 at home, thatโs a decent split )

I'm mostly nerd, but it's in the 'test career summary
dropdown on Cricinfo's page.Shows 350 wickets at home at 25, with 270 away at 35. So not awesome, but not bad consdiering.

I might be thinking of someone else rather than Kumble OR I was looking at his stats versus Australia:Average: In India - 24.46, in Australia- 37.73. Both datasets are 10 matches.
Interestingly, when you do the same analysis with Warne it is even more stark just how India liked facing him (and got a shot at him early in his career, too):
Average: In India - 43.11 (9 matches), in Australia - 62.55 (5 matches).

So can we surmise that Warne was quite shite against India then ?

@NTA said in Australia v India:
@MN5 I don't think he took many wickets early on, and probably didn't have enough pizza shops available on the subcontinent
Every greats stats can be picked apart to some extent. I donโt think itโs possible for an individual to excel against absolutely everyone.
They do have a point about Warne though, I do remember him struggling against them before he made it big.

it was outstanding. What a bowler. THis bowling attack is relentless - not many teams are going to get 500 against them. Strong as oxen as well, no real injuries all series

@nzzp yeah, there are times when a batsman must concede he's done nothing wrong and the bowler has nailed it. That Pujara wicket was one such instance
Some days Pujara plays that shot over and over and it finds the middle of the stick. Some days it gets a ball like that.

Hazlewood is effortless through the crease and it.sings down at 140
And bang he gets another. What a bowler.
Fucking shit shot again dick head piss off

Black Caps currently have the best pace bowling unit thatโs ever played at one time.
Australia do too and theirs is better than ours.

Given the results in the last 8 matches in Australia, I wonder if India don't have a pace bowling unit equal or better than ours๐ค
Put another way, how would we go with Boult, Timmeh, wags, Jamieson and Kane not playing? Bumrah, Yadav, Shami, Virat, Ashwin, Jadeja.
Of course we'd just drop Timmeh in order to beat Australia...

Back to reality, the game is delicately poised, due to the weather forecast.
Got to build the lead but not take too much time. Tailor made for Warner in the second digSet them 350? Stats say that's very rare to chase down but it looks vulnerable to the naked eye.

Actually that's a pretty fair call, Easy to wank on about their batsmen ( and they as a nation do ) but they also have a fine bowling attack, naturally both nations have spinners we can only dream about too.
