***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Burgey]

Kohli's generally angry at everything now but can't do anything because he got a duck too.

Lol. It's one of those times it sucks to be captain.

 

[silentstriker]

So I went to sleep after making fun of O'Keefe. Jesus.

If you know the wicket is going to be a rank turner you could just pick 2 spinners (Ashwin + Jadeja) and 9 specialist batsmen (including a keeper I guess). India could very well just bowl these 2 all innings anyway.

crazy but who knows, could work

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Kohli looks puzzled

 

[Burgey]

Lol TOTAB on Fox - "The game is quickening up isn't it?"

 

[Shri]

We can't afford to give away more than 60 from this point. 260 would still be an almost impossible chase but if it becomes 350, we are ****ed.

I like what I'm seeing of O Keefe tbh.

I feel he'll do well consistently bowling in those areas this series.

Best call in the thread ftr

 

[Shri]

I think the spinners began gradually bowling too short after those 2 wickets. Poor bowling.

This match is seriously starting to look like this match...
3rd Test: India v South Africa at Nagpur, Nov 25-27, 2015 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Zinzan]

In his last 24 innings Smith's only been dismissed 3 times for a score less than 30. Not bad on the consistency stakes.

 

[cnerd123]

Can't see any ways India win this. Will be one of the ATG 4th innings batting performances to pull it off

And if it does happen, you know Warnie is gonna blame O Keefe

But did you mention 'Change of ends?'

 

[TheJediBrah]

but yadav took 4

I wasn't saying this pitch was always a rank turner, but that if one was dished up, ie. turned square from the first morning, that it could be an interesting novel tactic

I can see a universe where Australia don't get little things going their way in the field, as happened in India's 1st innings,along with India getting a bit of luck and momentum and chasing 250 with 3 wickets in hand.

Only problem for India is I see another 10 universes where they get thumped by 50 runs or more.

 

[Shri]

We also might only have nine wickets in the second dig if Rahul isn't fit. Is he on the field?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Need to bowl them out within the next 70 runs and hope that Vijay/Pujara/Kohli play atg innings. Not good odds.

 

[adub]

Time for PEWS to calculate who lays the claim to be the original SOK fan.

Hahahahaha

As if this is actually in doubt.

 

[vcs]

Warne looks too gloomy to even flirt with Mayanti Langer properly.
