Ground stretch, 2km all dimensions 

[Suhaan]

Wood nearly knocks of Green

[Lone Wolf]

My goodness how is he not knocked out..

[MK55]

Loved the sound of that though. Great stuff

[Lone Wolf]

Gilly called it almost a Tyson esque punch to the Head...  Good god it was flush 

[MK55]

I hope to see something similar to Head lol

[Lone Wolf]

Head being positive and runs coming... Right approach 

[VT87]

Our jhantu players will s@@ their pants against kanglu

[Tillu]

Have the Australian grounds gotten bigger or have they been like this all the time. Even in the LOI series with us I found them unusually large.

[Cloud9]

If England had Atkinson and Wood in whole Eng-Ind series then England would have won the series.

Sydney and Adelaide are shorter... Adelaide has small square boundaries.

 

Rest were always bigger..

This Perth stadium has a slow outfield as well.

 

The Gold Coast one had humongous side boundaries..that we saw in T20.

 

Hobart was okay

[nitinbwj]

Those were super flat surfaces and Wood isn't your best red ball bowler 

[Lone Wolf]

England should easily take a 60-70 lead from here.. Bring Archer to wrap up the tail

 

[Nikola]

England might whitewash this Australian team

[Suhaan]

I have already said Aus with Khawaja and Labu are seriously crippled with oldman Smith

Need pace to unsettle such mediocre bunch

Siraj disappointed last year ,had he bowled with some fire we would have drawn or won it

Wood has great numbers since Bazball era.

People overrated Last year BGT win of Aus as if they were indestructible.

India played extremely below average cricket against them.

GG's tactics were all over the place post Perth.  He failed to judge the bowling attack and conditions on offer.r

 

We should have at least levelled the series with them at the bare minimum.
