Number Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I believe this selective watering thing was pure mind game. There were reports that Unadkat was practising batting against fast bowling whole day. I won't be surprised if we see a pacey pitch with 3 seamers in our side. Link to comment

Nash Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 If I am not wrong then this will be the last BGT ? are they permanently closing these tours or it will be less in future but with different name. Link to comment

Man he was always ridiculed but he makes sense most of the times. RJS was seriously under-rated. BGT 2020-21 was proof of that, IMO. sandeep and gattaca 2 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Last with 4 test per series, because apparently Oz figured out, just like Eng, that 1 (more) test with India is worth 2-3 as compared to other minnows! They're just looking to milk the Indian market & I guess will also have to play 5 tests in return over here as well. It will be a bad thing IMO because 5 test series can really be a drag, if the away team loses the first 1-2 in a row then such series will generally be totally one sided Link to comment
SRT100 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 9 hours ago, AuxiliA said: Actually, the fact that Aussie pitches are by far the worst when it comes to aiding spinners, I would say they are the most unfair for the Indian bowlers atleast. It's just that because our Batsmen play pace & bounce relatively well but can't play swing & seam to save their lives, you get the impression that they provide fair pitches. Correct. Kumble, Murali, etc etc world class champions have all struggled to be a dominating force in Australia. Link to comment

It doesnt drag on at all. Link to comment
zubinpepsi Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 strange looking pitch.. why the need to create such pitches.. prepare the usual indian pitch and we should back ourselves to beat them.. imho we dont need to doctor pitches like this.. it looks like we are afraid of them and prepared sucha pitch.. very defensive mindset.. eulbninem, cowboysfan and zen 3 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) This isn't necessarily doctoring pitches, this is the best chance Oz has at beating us conversely it's a result oriented pitch which can blow up in India's face! On "flat" decks the last time Oz beat us was back in 2004 - we need 3 outright wins to be guaranteed a safe spot in the WTC final, which IMO is a stupid competition with no *ing relevance. And what's more it's being played again at a "neutral venue" in Eng One way this can be solved is if we play more tests at home then almost every time we'll be guaranteed a spot around the finals, Oz/Eng play at least 1-2 tests more at home than India each year!

Disgusting 1)Dat old rohit washed up 2)Useless Rahul who is a mental midget 35 averaging can 3) ghujara washed up has been 4) varat is coolie chutiya.enough said. Trash player 5) t20 player who averages 45 in first class. Zero temperament after playing t20 for so long. Let's see how he goes. 6) bharat is untested 7) rest are good world class. No pant and iyer. 2 of our best batsmen for Asian conditions. Pant is our best batsman overall. Safely say this is the worst I have ever seen in my life. Only REASON WE WERE AND STILL ARW A TOP 1 /2 SIDE IN TESTS IS BECAUSE OF OUR PACE BOWLING AND SPIN ATTACK. mainly pace. Link to comment

Say something positive for me to wake up all night to watch the match. KL is chosen so that Anushka can sit with Athiya and share B’wood gossip while watching the match. speedracer 1 Link to comment
