Couple of weeks by the looks?
Do we have the same comms?
-
Promising start from the Aussies, 300+ puts them ahead of the game.

Dumbest comment I have heard so far from Comms team.
"If they make some runs in this first innings they will be right in this test match"
Lol that's some 90s black caps level trauma right there.
'if we bowl them out for less than 250 our batsmen might not fuck it up'.

Kiss-of-death no doubt, but I like Tim Paine.
Comes across as a decent bloke. Not massively talented, but making up for it with honest, hard graft. -
@billy-webb my impression too, though he is a pretty good keeper, and can bat.
Stumps sees us 277 with only 6 down. Start again in the morning lads! Well afternoon in these parts... Fucked up by the dance concert I have to attend

277 - 6 at stumps.
Haven't watched a ton of the the game, but it seems a slightly tricky deck, so Aussie probably ok with that score.
But India won't be disappointed either, given that they lost the toss and the Aussies haven't run away with it and they're into the non-specialist batsmen.Interestingly poised so far.

Very tidy keeper I think.
What I like about him is he displays real steel when Aussie are in a spot of trouble.
One of the few guys I felt who came back from the tour to SA with an enhanced reputation. -
@billy-webb that bloke has done a fucken noteworthy job for his country's team.
He's just given his all to lead the damage control that he didn't make nor was even 5th in line to clean up that fucking mess.
His life turned upside down in a week and he was tasked ( almost single handedly) with reviving cricket in and for Australia.
The guy has done his level best to be honest, straight and a front for residual Aussie cricket public disgust.
Whatever his on field achievements he's shown his true character these last 8 months.
Fucken champion.
His wife had their 2nd kid in September, joining a 16 month old boy.
When Davey went troppo, Paine had an under 1 year old with one in the oven.Bang!
You've got Australia's biggest job
I think he's done well😉

100% agree with all of that.
Interesting to hear some more of his detail, thanks Siam.
