Re: 2023 Tour of India

Cummins to miss the third test, his mother ill and in palliative care. Unknown if he will return for the fourth test.

Smith to captain.

I assume Starc will replace him and Green to replace Renshaw.

That's tough on Pat. I wish him the best.
Your suggestions are probably spot on.

That is tough for Pat, his mother wouldn't be too old either.

All 3 returning from injury.

I don't think Maxwell's form in the first shield game he has played in years after 3 months out with a broken leg is at all relevant to his ODI selection.

That's a silly thing to say when we select and omit test players based on white ball form all the time!

Some talk Boland will return and we only go with 2 spinners for the third test starting today.

I guess we have Head and Marnus who can get through a few overs of spin.

Australian XI: Khawaja, Head, Labuschagne, Smith, Handscomb, Green, Carey (wk), Starc, Lyon, Murphy, Kuhnemann

India won the toss and chose to bat. Starc had Rohit out caught behind first ball, not given on field and they decided not to review.

Also an LBW shout in the 1st over wasn't referred and was 3 reds. I dont think I've ever seen 2 missed referrals in the first over of a test.

How does Kuhnemann get another chance. He was so expensive in the last test

Re: 2023 Tour of India

Not that I am suggesting anything untoward but why is it that since Covid test cricket hasn't reverted to 2 neutral umpires?

You are having a shocking run on your calls lately BAD

Re: 2023 Tour of India

Once again the commentators are blaming the players for not reviewing decisions - why bother having umpires then if it is up to the players to make decisions - it is total BS that umpires continue to be let off the hook for being either incompetent or cheats or both.

If it is close the umpire should call for a review (as they do with run outs, stumpings and catches) - not the players - they are there to play, NOT umpire.

I might put money on Rhylee West for the Brownlow since BAD declared he doesn't rate him.
