Australia v India
-
The serious hype around Will has been going on for at least 18 months. A number of experts were calling for his name.
After all the controversy around the side and Smith’s demotion / banning etc, I reckon it’s probably the right time for the kid to be in the side.
But the Aussies do know how to pump it up. Even Gilly was egging it up, “the fairy tale start is over”. Yes there is always a little more excitement with a debut, but fairy tale??

Is it just that I haven't watched him much lately, or has Smith gotten magnitudes worse with his idiosyncrasies? The chat, the pointing, the jumping around, the reactions after every ball, its pretty wild.
Nah he has been doing that for quite some time. The more he gets in form the more he does it, I reckon.
I LOVE watching him bat.

So 267/6 after 90 overs. If it was the end of day one right now you'd have to say India with their nose in front, but Smith could yet drag Australia back in front.
Draw was looking the favourite when Smith and Labuschagne were cruising but a result more likely now.

Poor captaincy from Rahane today. He left bowling Jadaja until far too late, while leaving Ashwin on half the day to bowl a ton of innocuous deliveries, which when they did turn, were generally too straight.
Could be a touch of brilliance that they held Jadaja back for day 2 😀

Or Australia might have been all out by now

Warnie loves a good whine...
I honestly can't listen to him any more. He drives me up the wall. One of those blokes with great specialised knowledge, but thinks because fo the halo effect he knows everything.
Also a jingoistic muppet. One of the greatest bowlers of all time, but still a muppet.
