We’ll have to wait until this evening to watch Kohli bat but whatever total Australia post this afternoon, anything with Kohli in the top order is possible of being run down.
Here’s a piece from Malcolm Knox on the Indian superstar, who is only sticking around for one of the four Tests this summer so he can be home for the birth of his first child. He’ll be desperate to make his mark in these three ODIs and three T20s.
‘Cricket! Well that crept up on us. It seems that only a week ago we were watching State of Origin and suffering another Wallabies near-miss.
Wait, what? The Australian sports follower might feel as if they are the subject of one of those seasonal disorientation experiments, where we are put under various climatic conditions at unfamiliar times and tested on how we respond. If we were responsible people, we would self-isolate until we get our results.’
