God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

They've got Jadeja and he's a seriously good player EB.  The problem was the old rope they served up day 1, of which Yadav is prone to do.... just like Starc did day 2 aside from one Jaffa.

Don't miss all the BS associated with Ashwin...the scowling and muttering, the mankad attempts, the three frivolous appeals every over...

Agree Prof...Jadeja is a gun cricketer and has tortured Aus for years with both ball and bat. Id always select Ashwin though as together those two are usually keys to India winning and they both provide batting cover later in the innings. Just feel his mutterings and attitude issues are not confined to opponents and his manner with teammates and officials makes him unpopular especially with team leaders.
Of course India dont have Bumrah which degrades their pace attack and both Yadav and Thakur need conditions very much in their favour to influence games and this wicket is fairly docile.
Aus should win comfortably and then onto the Ashes where I think things will be a lot tougher....
