Interesting listening to Michael Vaughans comments after the bizarre Pant dismissal yesterday. He said you should not discourage that type of play for batters of that nature but you should have no more than two of them in your top seven. He said the current England team doesn't have the balance right.
And you remember that! That's the point!!! These series nowadays don't mean shit!
Way before my time so I can't speak much about it but with it being fresh I'm guessing that type of tournament had some real novelty. The number of franchise based T20 series and frequency of T20 world cups along with the champions trophy have really diluted the appeal of those ODI tri-series these days.
Can Vaughn give me a compelling argument as to why he wants this current India v Australia test match to finish tonight instead of going in to the 5th day?
Again! Why make test four days? This is test cricket!!!! Don't fucken let them touch it.
Don't think he is talking about this test match in particular.
They mean SFA these days.
It's crazy. I'd doubt we would have even seen Smith get to his grafting hundred. As entertaining as the innings from Konstas was and certainly a good start to the first innings a quick 60 should not be the barometer now.
Unfortunately losing 2 so early has resulted in India batting to save the test. As you say though if those two stick around for that long Pant is next to come in and can score big quick. We saw that in the last series in Australia. Australia massive favorites now but who knows.
The Draw is a $1-52 fav
Interesting. What is it now with Kohli gone?
