What are you talking, Smith's avg is 31 in the series. Aussies bowling has been fine,

 

Bowling has won them this series. Along with Cummin's batting.

In general aus batting has been their strength for the past 3 4 years. 

[Sgattick10]

Mishu bhai going at 6 an over 

[Sandz]

Aussies catching like Kohli 

[Sgattick10]

Harry Brook is a the best emerging batsman in the world. Someone tried to convince me otherwise in last test lol. 

[putrevus]

Smith is such a fantastic slip catcher.

probably someone trying to push saud shakeel or something

58 runs added after Brook's dismissal. Gonna cost Australia. England are just relentless. Got to give them credit for their conviction in Bazball.

 

India is ripe for the picking come early 2024

England 9 down in 54 overs.

depends a lot on pitches. axar-kuldeep-jaddu-ashwin is not an easy combo to face

nothing to do with bazball. England  bat deep, has always been the case for them in last 8-10 years with Woakes coming at 8 and Wood at 9. 

[Vijy]

all out for 283. I expect ozzies to fold for <250

[Kothili]

Clueless piss poor bowling to the tail yet again. Aussies are tired.

[Kothili]

Uzzie does not look like he is going to last long.

Bazball out for 283. This drama will end once they tour even BD let alone India.

[Lord]

Brilliant decision to pick Murphy instead of Green. He was missed last game.

 

Should have picked Neser too instead of Hazelwood.

283 is good for this pitch. aus look likely to fold for <250. although andie is declining, I still expect 1 good performance from him in the series, and I expect it in this test

Neser would be better than either hazel or cummer in eng conditions, esp this pitch

They will comfortably demolish BD and SL. They have just whitewashed PAK in PAK on some of the flattest pitches I've ever seen. Unless we are at our very best, prepare good spinning wickets(not minefields) and play our very best against spin (which means no room for Kohli and Rahane) England can always surprise us.

Yeah they are good on pattas mostly,whether in England or away.

 

Little turn and they will start dancing and pitch will be declared rank turner. Meanwhile our ARs will score with bat on same rank turners :giggle:

 

Seen that before. Not much gonna change unless we have injury concerns

[Vijy]

Broad almost got warner in this over. if foakes played instead of johnny "yes papa" bairstow, then he may have taken the leg side catch (foakes is very good at those)
