williamjm Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 15 hours ago, Jeor said: We're going to be bludgeoned to death in India on both counts. Are our spinners not that good (apart from Lyon, and he didn't exactly light up the Sri Lankan tour) so I expect the Indian batsmen will feast on them. Man I saw Kohli and Jadhav in that successful 350+ chase and they tonked spinners for 6 at will. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if it was a rerun of the England tour. Lyon might be able to give a bit more control because he has less of a tendency to bowl loose balls than Moeen or Rashid, but I'm a bit doubtful he's going to cause many problems for Kohli et al.

Squab Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 After losing to India in March, I don't think Australia has a test scheduled until the Ashes, whereas England host both South Africa and the WIndies before coming to Australia. Does anyone know if Australia has plans to play any tests between India and next summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Heh, India probably should have won that once they got 10 runs off the first two balls of the last over. Still, great effort from Jadhav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxter Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No tests confirmed at this stage, but Sutherland has indicated there is a 'high chance' of Australia touring Bangladesh later in 2017. That would be a positive development after last year's series was called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squab Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Stoinis makes a play for all rounder in a lackluster performance by Australia in a series sure to get watched by at least 7 Aussies outside of NZ. Without Warner, Smith and Wade, Australia get a chance to show how deep their batting goes by losing 6/67 after NZ posted 296 in Auckland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good innings - while there may have been several disasters in there there was also quite a few triumphs. Root does seem like the obvious choice, although I worry a bit about his workload if he's to continue to be a key part of the ODI and T20 teams as well as being England's best Test batsman and now the captain as well.

Jeor Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 39 sixes in 72 balls means more than 50% of the balls he faced were hit for six. And keeping that up over an innings of 72 balls is quite an accomplishment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm intrigued by the India v Bangladesh one-off test that will kick-off later today. On paper it's a total mismatch, but I just wonder whether, after some decent performances in NZ recently, together with the breakthrough win against England, Bangladesh might be a tougher assignment than expected. Will be tuning in to the coverage as much as I can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have had the advantage of irritating Australians, although I'm not sure I'd want Broad to have the power of deciding when to use DRS reviews.

Good point, though it would have the possible advantage of him not wasting them on any of the other bowlers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
