God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[LP]

But that performance was one for the ages. I've never heard an Indian crowd silent before, and God knows there weren't many Aussies to make a noise.

On that crowd and it's dread.

It just goes to show you how much impact a crowd can have. You could see that as the crowd silence grew the tension on the likes of Kohli and KL Rahul also grew.

It's why as a supporter base when we role up in numbers we have be loud and support our team unequivocally from the first bounce to the final siren. Get too silent and the team will pick up on the tension, it's a primal empathic/sympathetic response to emotion that the players have little control over.

In the Prelim, when the Bluebagger Army went quiet, it played right into the Lion's hand!
