India v Australia, 2nd Test, Delhi, 17-21 February, 2023

Meanwhile Cummins more or less confIrmed the moron Warner will play.

This is ridiculous. Kuhnemann doesn't make the Queensland XI at full strength. Now he is playing for Australia!

Salient quote from Dickinfo...

"What a farcical tour this is turning out to be. Bringing along injured players who miss at least half the tests, after one game debuting a player who was not in the original squad. Surely only a meltdown from India or weather will stop a 4-0 whitewash."

Possibly what all Aus cricket fans are thinking.

Meanwhile Head returns and Kuhnemann gets a Baggy Green. Apparently* 2nd is our only quick.

Ugh, McDonald and the selectors are on drugs.

Aus win the toss and bat.

How long before we are 1 for fark all with Warner walking back smiling and shaking his head?

Almost one over. Spud was given out but got a feather on it.

Deer in the headlights.

Thick smog over the ground [cough].

Huzzah, Aus openers have made double figures.

Huzzah, one of the Aus openers has made double figures.

Huzzah, Spud avoids a duck & Aus openers have passed 20.

Huzzah. Spud gets a boundary, then gets bonked on the head.

Ashtray looking dangerous already but Ooze smokes him for a 6.

Huzzah, Aus openers have survived one hour.

Best moment so far

Spud out, must be dropped.

Marnus gone

Ugh, I left home at 1-72 and almost arrived at the partner's place at 1-91. Then shit hit the fan. FFS & FMD!! Smudge for a duck hurts!!

As I turned off the car it sounds like Ooze was out. At least that turned out OK.

We are a chance of 200.

The T20 player went for a duck and we are six for now. Ooze misses his ton.

Planning and selections on this tour are a disgrace 

making a tough tour impossible

Fark the reverse sweep. Ooze cruising then he premeditates a reverse sweep.

300 would be near par

It began with selection.

Haze should have stayed home
Boys Club selection

Warner of course.

Agar just is not a red ball bowler. Feel sorry for him.

Head looked clueless today. A home summer of tonking it about had people thinking maybe he would be ok in India. Clearly not. As with the goldfish selection of Warner, the NSP will probably take him again.

Meanwhile I enjoyed the Uzzi knock and the tactical side of Handscomb - turning the strike over is almost a lost art.
