You'd get long odds on an Australian win

We're allowed to dream... And I reckon we're overdue for a change in fortune. And just imagine Kohli at the after match presser, his head would explode.
I'd give the left one to see it.

It's not impossible, but Ashwin might have something to say about it.
The thing is even 350 is not out of the realm of possibility in Adelaide, especially given the potential of our batting list. This pitch looks like it's not breaking up, and footmarks for left handers are not in play when Ashwin is bowling.

No chance.
Two of our batsmen can’t score.
We’ve made 300 twice in the last 11 innings with only one century.
Indians still $1.35

Starc is a pie chucker. Time to play somebody who wants to play long form cricket, though with these pitches, why bother bowling pace?

Not sure if the pitches are the problem. Composure and focus on the job you are paid to do is the issue. It’s one thing to have self belief and confidence. It’s another thing to be figjam. At the moment it seriously looks like Australian cricket won’t produce world winning form for at least ten years. We need to lose what is in the system and bring in new talent that don’t think their sh1t doesn’t stink, and actually work the game. Test cricket is so tough and a real chess game. We have bred too many big bash players. Pujara is a classic example of how to play the game.

He bowled with more intent after lunch but his body language hasn't been great and the fact that he keeps firing balls down leg suggests a technical issue has crept into his game that needs fixing.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-09-2018
Finch needs to get over Watsonitis, more commonly known as "camping blindly on the front foot and missing with the bat" fever.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 12-09-2018
It's a bad technique, that's for sure. On a par with Sharna's overstepping the mark
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-09-2018
Sorry, but you're not up to it Aaron, time to play an opener.
That said, Harris' dismissal was soft, pathetically soft as well.
