India v Australia, 5xODIs + 3xT20s, 17 September - 13 October, 2017

Denial finally delivers a fair ball & picks up a wicket.

Maxwell takes a screamer after Smith grassed one. Kohli gone for a zac.

Aye, a useful start by Qunt Denial and Aus.

India threefer. Denial on fire.

Bannies giving catching practice to the slips ATM. But Tweek's drop off Rohit might be expensive.

India 64/4

QD in everything. Now he catches Rohit off Stain to limit the damage of Tweek's drop. 4-64.

Aus just miss a run out but then get Kedar next ball (Stain). 5-87.

24 off a Zampa over gets India back on track for a decent score. Big partnership brewing between Hard Dick Pandya and Emma.

Aus chasing 282 but...

Did India slip away there, a bit?

We may win this yet.

Well, after the excellent start (early wickets in India's innings), Aus let Hard Dick take it away from us.

A target of 164 off 21 didn't seem insurmountable, but again the Erection had other ideas, removing lynch pins Smith and Head to have us reeling at 3-29. All over Red Rover, never looked like troubling the target after that.

0-1. Will India keep up their recent history of the series sweeps?

Hopefully Donkey does not become the next set of cheapie Steak Knives. Why did he not get a bowl?

Because he's a donkey?

What a softcock effort that was. Only three batsmen in double figures FFS!!

Touted by the fancy man bnlg as an 'attractive' batting all rounder. 

Even though he was ok, the Stain was used by the Vix as a 5-6 over bowler in 50 over comps and a relief bowler in the longer format. 

Not surprised Donkey failed. He is not a top order batsman. By contrast the Stain consistently batted at 3 for the Vix and (last season aside) deserved that spot.

Unless Donkey is carrying an injury, I am mystified as to why he did not get a bowl.

The fact that he is absolute shyte may have something to do with it.

He must offer something with the ball, even if we reduce the mayo offered by kept man bnlg.

It was only 26 runs.

Not the end of the world. .

It was a JAMODI so "not the end of the world" goes without saying.

Still, always good to havea chance to bag the underperformers

I don't recognise any of these guys you are talking about.

Even I worked those out.

Neither do I. I am, however, nodding along silently to appear as if I have a clue. Sort of like what I do at work....

Who's the woman in the photo, btw? Google image search not yielding much of use.

It's Red.

Changed her hair.
