Haddin and Mark Waugh were saying that the Indian team will not be able to recover from the 36 all out incident rest of the series. So much for the experts!

Mark Waugh really is rock bottom in terms of commentators Ive heard. In a previous series he asked Isa Guha which country she supports. Her response after an awkward laugh was - the one I was born in and won the World Cup for. He was quiet for a while after that!

Was otherwise engaged the last week or so. Asked my surgeon who won the first test, he said Australia and what I assumed was India scoring 360. Intact they got 36 mental.
Seems like a pretty epic comeback all things considered - no Kohli, Shami and Yadav also getting crocked.
Interesting to see Ashwin comprehensively out bowl Lyon, you don�t usually see the visiting spinner get much joy.

Looks like Warner, Pucovski and Henriques are pushing for selection.
�Hitman� Rohit Sharma seems like he�ll replace Agarwal. Saini to probably debut as well.

Love the SCG hoping it�s a cracker.

After years of dominating bowlers with his unique set up and approach, Steve smith seems to have finally run into a bowling plan that has made life very difficult for him. Looking forward to seeing how he responds - seems a bit uncertain at the moment.

Aussies better off preparing an absolute road and backing their bowlers to out bowl india on such a wicket. Their batsman also might get some runs on a flat track

Shaun marsh looks in good form, time for a 10th recall for him??

I'm a biased lefty, but I really think that Jadeja is one of the most underrated cricketers in current test cricket.

I think he is a better player than Leach, Shakib, Santner, Maharaj and possibly Lyon.

He bats, he's a sharp fielder and he's a very canny bowler. Most test teams would pick him in an instant.

I think India should pick 3 seamers plus Ashwin & Jadeja in any country

Jadeja should be pretty much the first name on their team sheet. Vastly underrated bowler, and top notch batsman who can either grind it out or give it a wallop. Good fielder too. Possibly the best moustache in cricket, which also counts for a lot.

And try to do his 50 or 100 flashing blade celebration without breaking a wrist. He plays for me as an allrounder with Ashwin most of if not all the time.

I dont think the pitch character will change at the SCG, Ashwin and Jadeja will have the conditions.
The Aussies are in trouble.

Joe Burns dropped, Will Pucovski closing in on debut.
SCG Test could be moved due to covid19

SouthpawMark · « **Reply #219 on:** December 30, 2020, 04:59:46 PM »

Pucovski shouldn�t be allowed anywhere near international cricket. Someone in CA needs to put his ongoing health above the needs of the international side. You know full well that India will pepper him with short stuff, and I fear for him.

There�s probably an argument that he shouldn�t even be allowed to play shield/BBL given the horrendous number of concussions he�s already suffered.

I used to think he�s average, until I read the following stat- there is only one player in the history of the game to have scored more runs AND taken more wickets at a better average, than Jadeja... Imran Khan.

He was a specialist batsman in his younger days, remember?

As a bowler, he's one of those useful types - he will rarely run through a side, but he will almost always hold up an end (and for long spells), going at a tight economy rate and picking up scalps - particularly because he bowls such a comparatively high percentage of balls that would actually hit the stumps.

Jeff Navarro · « **Reply #222 on:** January 06, 2021, 01:33:54 PM »

Two changes for India - Rohit Sharma replaces Agarwal at the top. Navdeep Saini replaces the injured Yadav. KL Rahul was also supposed to play but he injured himself.

David Warner replaces Joe Burns. Also looks like Will Pucovski will debut. Travis Head facing the axe.

cricketbadger · « **Reply #223 on:** January 06, 2021, 05:39:23 PM »

I wouldn't call Jadeja under-rated. If anything at times I found him to be over rated. Granted his record over the last few years suggests he's a star. Think he rather got under my skin with his over zealous lbw appeals anytime he hit the pads

ppccopener · « **Reply #224 on:** January 06, 2021, 06:05:01 PM »

Looking forward to this test, thought it started today

Pucovski is the guy who keeps getting hit on the head, it don't sound promising if that's your weakness. bhumra is quick enough to trouble most batsman.

Don't know if he's a puller or hooker or just tries to get out the way, you have to do one or the other very well otherwise the short stuff will keep coming.
