@ReidTheGame Ø playing so well since his return. Deceptively good at pressing and covering ground. Bench Saka. Martinelli on the right, Eze on the left.
Raya.
Timber. Saliba. Gabriel. Calafiori.
Zubi.
Ode. Rice.
Nelli. Kai. Eze.
WTC proposal 4/
Every Test match played has a direct impact on standings. Hosting rounds in one country equalises the playing field greatly. Imagine seeing Australia vs England playing on a third day Wankhede pitch. Imagine India vs Australia on a seaming Cape Town pitch.

3 pools of teams. Pool 1: India, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa. Pool 2: Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan. Pool 3: Ireland, Zimbabwe, UAE, Namibia, Netherlands.
@beastieboy07 That’s a bit harsh. He has evidently worked a strategy of batting in Aus - guard on middle, playing through the leg side more to avoid the outside edge, playing out of the crease to negate the bounce. He got a snorter of a ball.
Atleast he is not driving carelessly outside off.
Perth Day 1.
Australian fast bowlers had the Indian batsmen edging everything. Bundled out for 150. Eye rolls. Deep sighs. And then the Indians bowled. Australia 67/7. 💥
