The Ashes 2023

Every team is scoring at fast rates than Indian team.It is not like the Indian batsmen are scoring 100s for batting slowly.

 

It is more due to their ineptness they are unable to score faster.

Their shelf life was over long back. They are still hanging by a thread. Not moving on is our mistake

Poor session from Aussies. Labu threw away his wicket. Smith caught lazy. If they dont bat through atleast lunch tomorrow, Oz might lose this Test.

pujara and dhawan will return somehow, along with kela. Dravidiot's fav lineup:

 

1. rohit

2. dhawan

3. pujara

4. brat

5. rahane

6. kela (wk)

Time to stop this bazball nonsense with disciplined bowling.

 

Good bowling = wickets on any pitch.

Even as a neutral it is painful to watching Andu bowling. Boring and ineffective.

There is something about England - ECB, MCC whatever. 

 

They are second in dislike of pace and worship of trundlers to only the BCCI. Plus a lot of the members secretly like to lose to Aus. They love giving a standing ovation to Bradman while if a Harold Larwood embarasses the Don, they get constipated with outrage.

they have at least played some out-and-out pacers sporadically. wood, archer, stone. tongue is not express pace, but quite fast too

[Kothili]

Pretty poor show with the bat.

Bambi star Green.

Going pear shaped for Aussies. They loaded batting and now 189-5. Need atleast 400 to put pressure on Eng.

Australia must be disappointed to be in this position.

Their batting has weaknesses. Prime bowlers would eat this line up alive. England bowlers are not at top of their game bar Wood

[Kothili]

Aussies need to get on with it. No point playing for time.

yes they should have got in another bowler, Neser or Murphy

neser is very good in eng conditions. not cummins level, but arguably at the level of hazel and starc for eng conditions. and he can bat a bit too

Marsh is donig Pant's job for Australia.

no where close to pant. pant has more clutch knocks in one calendar year than mitchy marshy has in entire career

Mitch Marsh playing with Authority.

Should have given Neser a go.
