How Warner keeps getting on overseas' tours beggars belief.

And some squeal when some grass is left on a pitch.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - crashlander - 02-09-2023
From what has been shown about this pitch in Nagpur, the thing looks incredibly suspect. The side for right handers has been watered and grassed to last, but the left hand side is already bare and breaking up. Very suspicious.
Wonder if it has anything t do with our preponderance of left handers ...
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 02-09-2023
Don't have the bats or spinners to win here..
You need spinners who bowl a lot of sliders (not an effective ball in Oz so our spinners don't bowl it) and craptruck left hand batters are USELESS in India. We're playing short with this side.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 02-09-2023
Innings and 400 run loss coming up.
Pathetic effort this far.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - DJC - 02-09-2023
Scotty Boland will rip the heart out of the Indian team and a decent batting effort in the 2nd dig should set us up for a close fought win.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 02-09-2023
He won't get enough support. Too many softies from north of the Murray.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - LP - 02-09-2023
Well that was a short series, and we aren't even on the pitches yet that favour the Indians!
Dead and buried at selection ............. yet again!
PS: Can you imagine the outrage if Warner was seen handing Lyon a substance to put on his spinning finger, yet crickets about Jadeja's magic finger mix?
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 02-10-2023
100%. Totally and completely illegal. You just can't do it and he must be sanctioned. It was so he could bowl with a newish pill, so that's getting an unfair advantage.
Where our blokes get into trouble with spinners is the straight one - Ashwin's arm ball or the slider from Jadeja. Few of of our wickets were from balls that deviated from the line - you miss those, they're too good. Bowl one early in the over as a set up then attack the line of the stumps.

It was so he could bowl with a newish pill, so that's getting an unfair advantage.Jadeja is claiming he has a sore finger, but if I recall correctly just recently Lyon and Starc were required by match referees to remove dressings and other coatings from their fingers before bowling, so much so Starc was forced to carry a towel to soak up blood dripping from his finger.
Dodgy wicket preparation, dodgy bowling tactics, piss-weak response from officials, this is how money corrupts!
