Averages 68 in India.

I prefer my interpretation.

F Smith is good. Those numbers are crazy!

I still think ABD and Kohli are better all round batsmen, but hard to argue that he isnt the best batsmen in world cricket with an avg over 60, after avging 20 odd in his 1st 10 tests.

Williamson is 4th on the list for mine. Very very good player though.

Who is F Smith ?
Sorry, should read, F! Smith is good.
Does that help?

No, money down!

India have gone with an ODI styled opening oartnership for the next Test. Sharma will partner Gill.

Santi is the new quick

I’m excited.

I love seeing a debutant get a chance. WP is as exciting as we’ve had in recent times.

On a betting note: India at $4 seems great value in a 3 horse race.

Overcast conditions in Sydney town.

Waiting on offical team announcement and toss.

I’m ready..

-PJ- · Post by **-PJ-** » January 7, 2021, 9:05 am

AUS have won the toss and elected to bat.

AUS- Warner, Pucovski, Labuchagne, Smith, Wade, Green, Paine, Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Hazlewood.

Northern Raider · Post by **Northern Raider** » January 7, 2021, 9:30 am

Very interesting 1st session coming up. Warner returning from injury and Pucovski on debut.

I wasn't convinced by Pucovski in the Australia A match. Did not look confident. If he can see off the new ball be might settle in better.

-PJ- · Post by **-PJ-** » January 7, 2021, 9:32 am

He’s taking first ball..

Yes it was. I don't mean in numbers you numpty. I was being sarcastic.

Think Warner had some pressing business back in the dressing sheds. Didn't want to hang round long in the middle.

SBW walked into the ground.

Not much in the deck for the bowlers. Distinct lack of seam for the start of a 5 day test.

Yeah it does look that way - poor shot from Warner.

Northern Raider · Post by **Northern Raider** » January 7, 2021, 11:02 am

Pucovski gets a great chance here. Batting on a road vs an understrength Indian attack.

That's it you put the mocker on him now.

It feels for some reason like it rains every Sydney test nowadays...

You telling anyone else to shut up with the quality of your so called match-ups over the years is ironic

I said he gets a great chance. Didn’t say he would take it.

For predictions I'm backing Steve Smith for a big 100
