🏏Australia vs India, 1st Test: Perth Stadium, Perth, Nov 22-Nov 26.🏏 - Page 15

AJ: "Its serious error of judgement of batting first with such fragile batting order!! Dont know if it should be called false bravado!!" Put simply, it shouldn't, nor is it trying to be I think. I doubt either side would want to risk batting last at this venue

Cummins to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, short and wide, Jurel rocks back and plays a lovely cut shot past backward point. Starts the session off on a positive note

Dr SK: "Important hour of play coming up." Um, yeah, but that might be a bingo-card line

IND (27 ov) 58/4

AUS

smug : "More than half the runs have come against Cummins.Is captain rusty? Or is he searching too much?" Think his pace has been low at times.

Niranjan: "Ideal for the bowlers. Slow outfield, Green top. 260-280 enough ?" Lots, but it's veeery far away

Cummins to Pant, FOUR, this is the Rishabh the Aussies thought they subscribed for. They would have had their plans for his aggressive play for he's come out looking to be calm and playing confident defences.
