@booboo This Australia team are getting rather old in the tooth. Is there any young blood in Sheffield Shield cricket that they could bring into the national side?
Don't know
Don't careJust the difference between the celebration of how good the Oz bowling attcke was yesterday, to how awful they are today us amusing.

India with a lead of 177 and with 10 wickets remaining. Almost no pressure on the batsmen. Five wides. I can't remember the last time I saw such a toothless Australian bowling attack.
Gee. Quick to go from the GREATEST bowling attack EVER, my goodness 4 x 2-fiddy-plus, to COMPLETELY TOOTHLESS.
Sports fans are fickle as fuck.
Windies in the early 80s and late 80s were better.
Could argue Waqar, Wasim, Imran and Qadir too.
Maybe not, they might not have played together enough

Windies in the 80s were plain nasty. Tours to the Windies must have been terrifying. Just ask Ken Rutherford

@booboo said in Australia v India:
Weird pattern huh?
17 wickets day one, day two and you can't buy a wicket
One of the comms said that the general consensus was that the pitch would be slower on day 1, then get more difficult to bat over the next couple of days as it quickened up. It's been the reverse

@MN5 Ranked 4 in the world at the minute and unlike Australia they have brought in a bit of young talent since the last Ashes series.
But yeah they need to evolve beyond the bash and crush of Bazball and probably ditch Stokes if he can't get Test fit.

Shows it wasn't had pitch, just a bit of impatience from everyone with the willow in hand.
Survive the first hour on it and you're good to go.
