***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

Swingpanzee

International Regular
Burns to open I think and Warner should be at 6, that way he can score runs once Burns' 300 and Smith's 200 have vanquished the India bowling attack.

Australia should bat normally till end of tomorrow. Should let the Indians decide whether we win the series 3-0 or 4-0 (i.e. how quickly the bowlers concede runs).

Ofc I'm assuming we get a 50-ish run lead tomorrow.

Yeah that was lightning quick, he couldn't even get glove on it. Even the Kohli hook he ran down and almost caught can't be called a drop.

No way was that an actual chance.
I need to see a replay of that again but from what I remember it was a pretty small deflection, and he didn't really follow the ball that well from the pitch.

Though yeah, I was just being cheeky with the rahane one. I know it's a pretty tough one if there was one.

Sigh.

And that's stumps. Australia ahead, but not by as much as they would have liked to been I suppose.

Kohli and Rahane were magnificent, Vijay did well, Pujara scrapped but looks out of nick, and the rest were abysmal as usual.

Australia were brilliant in the field (/s) and as. A result India have an outside chance of not-losing this test.

Probably still gonna lose tho.
Umm, Australia dropped four catches. Three of which were easy or very catchable.

International Captain
Hadsy!!! To think some people considered his keeping to be on the slide because of one dropped catch. His batting may be struggling a little but still number one gloveman in the country
It's clearly on the slide. He's still up to it, but he used to be much better. He's still got the hands but his feet are at least a step slow, which is why he's diving so much now when he didn't in the past.


To the left of 1 st slip is keepers catch unless the gap is massive to cover more area. Haddins all the way.
This is one of my least favourite old school cricket theories.

When asked if he respects the Australians, Kohli says 'I respect some of them' #AUSvIND

Kohli's just like me

Though honestly I don't see how australia can lose unless they really **** up batting in the second innings, which I can't see happening despite having such a fragile batting lineup.
