Test Cricket

India looking like they want to win.
Australia looking for an excuse to go on strike for a pay rise.

Reckon India will win the 1st Test in Perth

Body language says it all.
Indian positive. Australian negative.

It's a disgrace - start sacking members of the team for the next Test.

Smith and Warner should have not been reinstated after their bans, for starters. Warner brings the team down regardless of who is captain. Too many 'individuals' fighting for media glory in Australia (and future commentary jobs), not enough team about it.

Yes - when our players are getting a high batting score they keep playing safe to get as high a score as possible
with no regard to whether it could lead to a draw.
They are playing for their own careers not the team.

They are also the worst Sledgers in the game.
It bites them back as they waste their efforts in dominating the talk show and forgetting to bat and bowl for dominance. As you can see, they had a lot to say first innings, but now they are subdued. Idiots.

Taylor & S.Waugh era sledged. But they never let it take control of their gameplay.

Ever since Clarke took over, sledging has become a priority. Let alone running commentary from the field for the media.
