It's pretty rare that batsmen can put up the shutters for more than a whole day, which is what India would have to do if the Aussies get well past their score. India did it in Bangalore, sure. Wouldn't back them to do it as easily on day 5 of this pitch, though.
Successful pattat0 is successful.
The two guys who can do just that for Australia are at the crease now.
People seem to be forgetting that Oz is still 250 behind and, as such, Australia's first job is to get somewhere near the Indian total
Oh definitely. I think many Indian supporters here are a bit down in the dumps too early for my liking, but IF (big if of course) Australia do bat for most if not all of today, they can square the series based on the fact that India have choked in situations like this before.
Makes up for being wildly pessimistic about cricket by being wildly optimistic about the space elevator. In person, I bet he's chilled-out.
Except for the various fire arms that he has in his ownership
Agreed.
Doesn't alter the fact that ridiculously pessimistic posts, whether they're attempting to be a jinx or not, takes away from the quality of this thread.

Reading "its all over, Australia are 0-10 and only need 500 more runs, considering its India, they'll definitely get it" every day of the series is irritating. I wasn't here much during the Mohali test, but when Haddin and Clarke put on a partnership during the 4th day, despite Australia still being 5 down with a ridiculous amount of runs to get, it won't surprise me if some individuals started mourning another Indian stuff up.
It gets tiring to read
Oh and
