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

[Cevno]

Upto these 2 and Pujara to bat out most of the overs. Rest gonna collapse.

That catch was pretty tough.

I refuse to ever buy a HCG box from KFC because it'll mean I'll have to say 'HCG box' in real life

 

[Burgey]

Want Kohli to keep reaching like that. Then need to find someone who can catch it..

 

[Spark]

Really excited to see Haze tailing it in consistently like this, given that he's more a natural outswing bowler IIRC

 

[Burgey]

Good over that from Lyon.

 

[Spark]

Relentless, really

 

[Jono]

What a ****ing guy.

If he tons up here I will bump every post from every **** who wanted him dropped in 2011.

why aren't you laying into him for playing so many shots

 

[Spikey]

Million Dollar Man Virat Kohli is on fire

 

[Burgey]

Because he's a hypocrite

 

[Burgey]

Anyone got any thoughts on how the last over's play today might pan out?

Mohammad Shami will bop Dale Steyn over long on for six off the last ball from what I hear

Kohli has been hated by the Australians ever since he kicked the ball away

You know if India needed 308 runs in 46 overs to win an ODI with Kohli and Rahane at the crease, 7 wickets in hand, and Pujara Dhoni and Ashwin to come...I'd expect them to get pretty close.

This is not an ODI. Its stating the obvious but it's a hell of a lot harder in Tests to score that many runs in that amount of time. And in the fourth innings - virtually impossible. A test allows the bowling/fielding side many more options than in an ODI.

I guess India weren't prepared to lose to win.

I had heard that rumour actually

So....when's the powerplay?

Because we're going for the win?

 

[Spark]

smith really should bowl a lot more in these situations

280 in 38 overs? hmm
