The joys of fielding a Test number 6 with a batting average of 35.
Not a test 6 or even a 7 or 8.

That’s pretty standard for loads of sides though ?
That’s very often where the keeper/all rounder bats.
They can’t all be Border, S Waugh, Hussey etc

We've somewhat squandered a good start that could have seen us almost bat them out of the game. I still think if we can get past 300 then we are right in it, a couple of early Indian wickets chasing more than that will have them under a lot of pressure.

India will score 400 plus on this wkt no problem.

@Chris Ye of little faith! Pressure is a funny thing and after the first test all of the pressure is on India. You would expect them to score 400, but you also would expect them to score more than 46 in the first test

Those loads of other sides may not always be good
Rishabh might be an outlier, but we still have to out play him to have a chance of a series win. -

Rishabh might be an outlier, but we still have to out play him to have a chance of a series win.Australia have Marsh at six ( averaging 30 ) England have Stokes ( 35 )
So basically it’s very standard.
Fuck, another one down

We will see my money is on a big Indian score
With Gill and Washington they are a much stronger batting line up.
They also scored 462 in the 2nd innings this is a typical Indian pitch they will go well on it. -

Stokes also bowls when not broken, and doesn't drop regulation chances with the gloves.
Yeah we are not comparing Stokes and Marsh’s batting to Blundel either which is not good enough to bat at 8.
