Is Cheerleader on his knees under the table relieving Kohli of some pre-match stress?

Kohli's expression certainly seems to suggest so

Rohit is a lot of things but his commitment can’t be questioned. Just because he has time to play his strokes or has lazy elegance doesn’t equate to him having a poor work ethic or being lazy. Some people have controlled diet but might have thyroid problem or other genetic factors that despite the diet may make them

put on weight.

Weight is just one of his problems. His technique is not good enough for tests. Also he just cant hang in tough sessions. The 2014 Adelaide test was prime example. We have seen this so many times. He is poor man's pujara out side of subcontinent.

Its probably his only input on the tour of Australia given that he will be asleep/drunk during most of it.

But first you have to think of taking 20 wickets if you want to win. These bowlers have been taking 20 wkts in every match.

In SAF & ENG , Ashwin avg:ed 30.5 & 32.5 respectively. In  the lone test Jadeja played in( the most batting friendly pitch of the series going by score card)   he avg:ed  36.5 taking  7 wkts. In ENG Shami could avg: only 38.5 .Umesh played only in 1 test  in 'ENG+ SAF' combined and hence inconclusive. And the track record of all seamers in AUS have been mediocre in every sense  till now.

So, if conclusions can be drawn from all the  above data, only 2 seamers  preferably Bumrah & Bhuvi(can bat too) are enough . Ashwin,Jadeja,Kuldeep trio  as a unit can   be  at least  as effective  as the other 2 because of them  being relatively unfamiliar to Aussies especially Kuldeep. And they can put some runs too.Another thing is that , these 3 along with Vihari  can keep scoring tight  by bowling  relatively more overs so that Bumrah & Bhivi can be comparatively fresher  every time they starts a new spell.

Aussie media seems obsessed with Kohli. But this video was so great.

Major impact on ticket sales

“It has been an issue, it has affected ticket sales. One of the characteristics that we have noticed is that we are quite down in interstate sales given it’s a day Test, not a day-night Test. There is definitely a day-night factor, without a doubt,” said Bradshaw as quoted by News.com.au.

 

The Indian team head coach Ravi Shastri stated in a meeting with the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) that the team management and the players require some more time in order to prepare themselves for the day-night fixtures. Bradshaw also mentioned that the fans have come in huge numbers for every day-night Test matches played in the past at the venue.

“The fans have absolutely voted with their feet in the last few years that we have had day-night Tests. We have been significantly up for attendances,” he added.
