India beat Australia, they were hit, and so they hit.

The Rohit Prism

Looking at batting errors with help from Rohit Sharma

The Rohit Prism

Rohit Sharma went out yesterday, I tweeted about it today and my Twitter hasn't stopped since. Rohit Sharma has opened in three innings outside of India in his life. Against the best seam bowling attack in the world. Coming off an injury and being…

India's freebie

India can't lost because everyone thinks they can only lose. But what they learn may end up more important.

India's freebie

Australia picked Matthew Wade to bat at number five. Partly because they thought they owed him one after their incredibly odd decision to open with him. But also they still believe in his toughness and experience. They believe in it so much it has…

India is still breathing

Another great piece Jarrod. Our team is a damn infirmary and on day five the fear of losing players to injuries was far more than the fear of losing wickets. "Star all-rounder gets caught at a strip club at 7 am the morning of a game." ---- I wonder…

India is still breathing

Ravichandran Ashwin looks like he's having trouble breathing. Pat Cummins has smashed him on the chest, and the physiotherapist is out trying to keep him together. It's not the first time they've hit him, he's taken one on the arm and shoulder…

Green and the change

Great article as always. I think Rahane also responded really well to the abuse Siraj received. He immediately stopped the game. Paul Reiffel also reacted with haste and seemed to quickly get security involved. It was also good to see that the game…

Rishabh Pant is on the ground and watching the ball. The one he just pulled from the best bowler in the world. Who was delivering it at the Gabba, where Australia does not lose. And he keeps watching it, onto the bat, down through fine leg, even as…

Green and the change

Let me just start with, fuck racists. We don't know what happened at the SCG yet, but if it was racism against the Indian team, I'm ashamed as an Australian and a cricket fan. If this has happened, these are shit Australians and shit cricket…

Cheteshwar Pujara should have scored more

How Pujara was India's equal top scorer and to many people, also the main problem.

Cheteshwar Pujara should have scored more

It is torturous watching someone bat slow. It is usually more torturous to hear people moan about it. India lost two wickets in the first session of the Test. They scored only a handful more runs in that time. 31 of them were from Cheteshwar Pujara.…

Steve Smith's hands, form, runs and stuff

"There's a difference with being out of form and being out of runs." Steve Smith, SCG, 2021 One of my notebooks has a collection of fielding plans for Steve Smith used between 2014 and 2017. Two leg slips to a pace bowler was one of my favourites. I…

The second Test for better or worse

A look at how being really bad in one Test doesn't mean you will be in the next one. India didn't collapse for 36 in the first Test. They lost 17 wickets for 92 runs. Their captain was going home and their most dependable bowler. Oh, and another…

The politics of batting

One was too slow, one was too quick, and one was just right.

The politics of batting

Rishabh Pant was almost transformative. Hanuma Vihari and Ajinkya Rahane had been going nowhere. When Pant came in, he brought a different feel with him. Putting pressure back on Australia. All the positive stuff we like. He scored more off one Pat…

Cameron Green and the ghost of Keith Miller

Cameron Green is just a good young prospect. But because of his all-round talents, he's entered this weird repressed cricket culture from Australia. No cricket nation has been more thirsty for an all-rounder than them. For some of us (me) it's been…

Cricket players' union starts legal challenge to ICC over image rights

The international cricket players’ union has begun legal proceedings against the International Cricket Council in a row over image rights, claiming that they do not receive a “fair share”. The Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations…
