I think Aus will make 500 in their innings. Umesh Yadav is weak link in ind bowling, he will release any pressure Shami and Bumrah might build from the other end, unlike Aussies where not a single bowler was giving away any scoring ball ...Shaw selection is baffling given his disastrous form in both ipl and tour matches, can't see how he got selected. More than his poor form the nature of his dismissals should have been a big red flag. Going back to domestic cricket for a year should have been the right plan for him.. Based on form Gill or Rahul should have been playing.
IPl form?!?!? You realise that’s a totally different skill set and format right? I mean, the ball doesn’t move for a start and it’s flat decks etc etc . He’s a young kid, highly rated but maybe he should spend a year or two at 5/6 to learn the ropes, get confidence etc
How sure are we that his technique hasn’t been compromised by playing white ball ? His dismissal wouldn’t have happened in the IPl as the ball wouldn’t move for example (let alone he would have probably tried to tonk it
Aus aren’t formidable, two players just like India are the key.. Smith and Laubachange. Get them, game on
