I think I heard on the radio this evening that Kuni, Murph and Handscome were in Sydney with the team to do Medicals ahead of touring SL

I say fair enough bumrah going and giving him a bit seeing as that was the interaction.
Kohli on the other hand running from slips to do it was wankerish

Just a other day of Kohli not scoring runs and acting like a flog.

Iâm all for Handscomb playing in SL if he only wears a white floppy hat when batting.

India are in this game. With Bum bowling well, our poor batting and a green grassy pitch then the Aussies could easily get rolled tomorrow - if this happens then India are a very big chance to win this test

They had over three months to get the pitch ready. I need to see one more day however i suspect the pitch is not up to standard.
A lot of them did - would have been good if theyâd shown that intent today and the last test but easy when youâre in a mob?
His certainly lippy and confident and going to give it out and receive it - doesnât seem fussed when he cops it, in fact probably feeds of it, but the fact that they went after him like that means his in their living rent free in thier heads - thatâs awesome

I donât think it is up to standard. The bounce is the main concern and some decent sized cracks opening up already. I think those that said it will get easier to bat on tomorrow are kidding themselves

I would have us batting out the day tomorrow at 100/1

Who will win the test @Aceman ? 180 by India is not too bad given the pitch and if Bum runs through our batters tomorrow. Has a whiff of Perth about it
At one stage smith said the ball was holding up in the wicket as well - the curator did expect it may start to break up on day 3 onwards, so a first innings lead will be pretty important
Australia needs a lead of at least 100
Australia needs a lead of 350 and to not bat last. We can all dream.

I still think we win but the first session tomorrow will decide it. We need to make 150+ in our first innings to stay in it

Usman is a walking wicket. Time to hang up the gloves/boots. He is just holding up the search for another opener. Time to retire.

BBL Sixers v Heat in Coffs Harbour abandoned without a ball bowled. But, 2nd Test of Sth Africa v Pakistan about to start.
Konstas has taken the fight to the Indians in an unorthodox manner and they canât deal with. He has shown a disdain for the traditional approach, much like Kygrios did in tennis. He is brash and knocked them off balance last week with his audacious innings in Melbourne, dealing them a blow they still havenât recovered from. He is adventurous and l wish him luck continuing on the same course.
