Description

The Meltdown at the MCG

An outstanding test match that saw some then 370,000 people throng the MCG. And a match that was essentially decided due to more mistakes committed by one of the teams.

Team India was kept afloat largely by the performance of one individual - Jasprit Bumrah. Best exemplified by one exchange between comms where one said "Rohit must be trying to figure out whether he can bowl from both ends" and the response from the other was "Cummins would also like to have him bowl for his team. Perhaps one of the greatest bowling performances by an Indian bowler in an away series in SENA.

What we have though is two senior batters who are woefully out of form, other batters who are either inconsistent or simply careless, a toothless bowling attack save one individual. Once the senior Aussie batters started scoring, it was always going to be a tough climb.

Questions ?

  1. Is the team management thinking right with regards to personnel and balance ?
  2. Can you win with a one man bowling unit ?
  3. Can we stop Smith and Cummins ?

What are we talking about in this episode ?

In this episode while we talk about what happened at the MCG dwelling more on what were the causes and what can be done to turn around the ship. A fightback in Sydney will still suffice with regards to retaining the BGT although perhaps a place in the WTC final might be a bridge too far.

Take a listen and let us know what you think.
