Nah go India. Underarm and all that…
Whilst I don’t mind the Aussie coach and a couple of their players, I like this Indian side and how they play. Love what their fans bring to the game, sure they get a bit overexcited online, but that’s neither here nor there when you consider how they support and get to venues. The next 5 days will be no different
Bruce Edgar was the real villain in that saga.
Fancy leaving out the best bowler in the world (statistically and IMO tactically) going into a World Championship game!

So arrogant ( either that or a tactic to play all their quicks in English conditions ) I hope it bites them in the arse.
Ashwin is a serious home track bully but he isn’t exactly terrible overseas to be fair.
Just checked the score
Aus 327/3
Head 146*
Smith 95*
Cummins said he would've bowled too. Good toss to lose
Indian professional commentators sound a lot like Indian amateur fans. Complete gibber.
Not that the likes of Hayden etc are much better I suppose

Hayden gets asked specific questions but just answers with whatever bullshit just floated into his head
Ponting is good

India going in without Ashwin is madness. He injured?
Naaaa they looked at his home vs away record.

That's every Indian spinner ever

Every Indian cricketer ever more like.

Travis Head is so good now
I'll admit I wasn't expecting him to outscore Smith by quite that much
it's not just the score, it's how fast he scores that is putting Australia in good positions really quickly

@dogmeat if you're being serious, then in my eyes, they'd both be losers - so we remain the sole WTC winners.
Shared trophies don't count (IMO!)
Excellent point. Can I jump on the bandwagon too ? Come on rain !!!
India fell into the hole of picking their team based on winning the first hour, not for a potentially five day game.
A lot of the social media chatter about the pitch looking almost as green as the outfield earlier this week reminded me of the mistaken hype around Basin Reserve greenness on Day -2.
