and we have Lolhi who is clearly past his prime.

Lolli was never that good to begin with...  Had a purple patch 2016-19 & a stellar Aus tour in 2014 on pancake pitches. 

 

He will barely finish as a Indian ATG in Test cricket by the looks of it.  Never a world ATG in Tests. 

Only Indian media & Pans hype him.

There's too much of a pattern of teams who are 320/3 over night getting all out for 400 the next morning.

Smith is not at his best clearly....  But damn this inns was sheer mental strength on display.   The guy wears baggy green giving it his heart & soul.  A true warrior

Nobody like him clearly. 

And we have cheaters,frauds,laantis,selfish guys in the BCCI XI. Serves them right, I want NED,Zim,Aus,Eng,Afg to beat this rich bcci pos xi in the WC and show them first round exit. Hate this Dravid XI

How lucky are england? Won toss (in both test), got great overcast conditions for most of Australian innings and when their chance comes to bat sun is out.

Clouds turned up as always. Clouderson didn't.

Aus already hv enough on the board.  Another 20-30 runs would be bonus.   

 

Don't trust Starc lol That guy can go either way. He is their own Umesh Yadav

[Serpico]

Apparently Anderson averages 35 in Home Ashes? And less than 3 wickets per match!

Imagine Kohli getting banned for 12 months lol. This guy came back like nothing happened for 1 years. He is averaging 56 after ban.

Best player in the universe. The real universal boss. Lord. 

 

If india had a player like him, we would win every wtc final. India has some very good bowlers at full strength but we lack a killer batsman like Smith or root.

 

or even Kane williamson

[vvvslaxman]

Mcgrath's performance at Lords 3 tests 26 wickets 11 average !!

[vvvslaxman]

They start with a deep point mainly for Duckett

Jimmy Paaji has been a non factor so far this series. He better retire at the end of this series no matter what. What else has he left to achieve?

[vvvslaxman]

Australian bowlers have very good endurance. They will keep plugging with the same channel

[Nikhil_cric]

Boland, Hazlewood opening the bowling would have made an impact here . They are the 2 most accurate bowlers OZ have.  And Bazball is based on ruthlessly attacking full and short lengths. 

 

However, against good length they have struck at only 53. 

[vvvslaxman]

Crawley 8(21)

Duckett 11(17)

[Sgattick10]

So they left out Boland?

Absolutely no point continuing like this, blocking someone who would anyway take time to settle like Anderson himself did

[Sgattick10]

Eng on the attack
