I always know if Starc bats well, he will be lethal with the ball, a double wickets maiden to remove the Indian Captain Kohli - game on !
Happy NBA trade deadline day brothers. Hope you're teams got better and not worse!

O Keefe's bowling in the first test was absolutely unfuckingreal! that pitch was fucked as well fucking looked like a sand pit and the ball was turning a ridiculous amount. Hopefully the pitches in the upcoming tests arent doctored for spin again and are an even balance. no wonder indian spin bowlers are the best in the world when the bowl on pitches like that!
NRL back in full swing tomorrow night!
I still think the turning point of the first test was in the first inning when Starc took two wickets in that one over including a two ball duck for the Indian captain Kohli ! His first ever duck at home ! That really broke their spirits !!
There is a good chance that the next pitch at Bangalore could be more seam friendly ! Watch out for Starc and Hazelwood to tear them apart !!
Go Aussie !!
The Indians were caught out by their own cunning.
It's a well known fact that the Indians doctor their pitches to suit their spinners.
it has worked very well for them for many years.
Just look at India's record at home compared to overseas.
Home = champions. Overseas = average*
But this time it all went wrong for them.
They weren't counting on a freakish bowling spell from the Aussie spinner O'Keefe, or a freakish century from the Aussie captain Smith.
Karma finally caught up with the Indians.
* To be fair most teams away form is significantly worse than their home form. And most countries doctor their pitches to suit the home team.
Second test starting shortly, I am predicting another Aussie win and this time the quicks will be dominating and Smith and Warner each make a 100's
Go Aussie !!
Lyon got Kohli !
Lyon got three wickets , 4/129 !!
Now we need Warner, Renshaw and Smith all go on and makes some big hundreds to really put the foot to the Indian's throat - so to speak !!
Go Aussies !
Good start to the NRL seasons to see all the QLD origin teams winning. With the exception of GI's injury which could be serious !
Souths are gone without GI....
I'll make an early call on the two big footy codes.
NRL - Storm v Broncos Grand Final
AFL - Swans v Giants (a Sydney derby) Grand Final
Oh and in the A-league - Sydney FC will of course win the minor premiership but will choke in the Finals.
Melbourne Victory will win it.
As a Rabbitohs supporter, I was really looking forward to this season to see if the boys could continue on from the form they showed in the last few weeks of 2016. Things were bubbling along nicely in the off season, no scandals or dramas of previous years and then.... it all went to shit! Firstly, Aaron Gray injured in the Auckland nines. Then Adam Reynolds out for possibly the first 4 weeks, and now the most likely season-ending injury to G.I. No excuses, all teams will have to deal with similar issues throughout the year, but I think we will struggle big time to make the top 8.
