Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 02-25-2017
They gave Starc man of the match...seriously??? He batted very well and took two important wickets to set up momentum in the first innings but better than 12/70? Wouldn't think so.
EDIT: Take it back. Starc won something else. O'Keefe was man of the match.

The last time I checked, the Indians were 4 for and I thought we could be in with a real chance. I went to check on the scores again and it was game over and a win by 333 runs :o
That is a magnificent effort by the Aussies and full marks to Smith and O'Keefe. They have certainly answered their critics among the ex-captains' and ex-leg spinners' clubs.
One of the best aspects of the win is that we were able to take greater advantage of the doctored pitch

Rumour is the Indians won big off the field....

Only among folk who gave us no chance EB
It was too much of a shellacking for a fix and, as I understand it, spot betting rather than overall results is the favoured form of gambling on cricket.

And Harbajhan Singh goes on to illustrate what a skunk of a human he is with some of the least gracious comments ever.

Will give the lads an amazing confidence boost.
Will the Marsh brothers get another chance?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 02-27-2017
No way they'll change the team after that performance!

Not even all of ours. However, some of them lack more humanity than most, while others disconnect their brains before opening their mouths. You may place Mr. Singh where you will.
I was surprised by a number of the performances, very pleasantly indeed. But we should make changes. We really should. Whether we will is debateable. Teams who pull off a win like that are rarely changed much.

Mr Singh is upset that his prediction of a 4-zip whitewash has fallen flat.
The Australian selectors tend to avoid changing a winning cricket team but a willingness to improve the team for the next match could send a message to India. Khawaja seems to be out of favour but he would have to be a better option than SE Marsh. MR Marsh made an important contribution in the second innings but I would prefer to see Maxwell as the all-rounder. Another spinner who doesn't get great turn would now be seen as a great threat by the Indians

Change will be key to producing another result, you won't see our bowlers getting 12 wickets from straight deliveries next test.
