Can't remember a test debut like this, the series locked up at 1 all - taking the attack right up to Bumrah, exciting, confused and totally unexpected!

Let's see how long the risk taking lasts. It wish him well and he has talent galore, but geez he is playing some risky shots for a test match. It isn't a twenty over game.
Well he's Greek. We have no patience. When I played in Primary, High school and club, my coach would say, treat the ball on it's merit. My skip mate and captain would be a bit blunter saying "Stop playing wog shots". If the ball was too wide on off, I'd step across to make it a leg side shot. The only off side plays I knicked to the keeper or the slips. I swung at everything. I'd get out for a duck or a quickfire 30-40. There were no inbetweens. Stoinis is the same.
Good start! C'mon Aussie C'mon!!!
"We have no patience" lol I know this first hand!lol I used to play grade cricket ( 4th grade) half our team was made up of Greeks - we didn't sledge the oppositon we would turn on each other especially after dropping a catch or misfield. - the infighting was too funny, good luck to Sam his even managed to rattle Virat!
He's got them rattled. Good to see. Virat knew what he was doing when he walked into him and it just got him even more fired up.
Definitely a deliberate action by Virat, Sam didn't give him an inch
Virat grub act. Should have been sent
Probably just a fine, anyway it adds to the theatre of the game
Yeah,until you sit him hard on his ass...nek minute 1,000,000,000 sub-continental types be slinging the hate.
Yep, the curry munchers are sweating it and it not only because of the weather. Some 19 y.o with barely 10 Shield games has fucked up the bowlers line and length as well as their field placings effectively taking out a fielder to do fuck all at fly slip for the rest of Sam's innings.
We've seen out Bumrah, the others aren't as good. Kick on boys!
No need for the curry muncher taunt.
