***Official*** Australia in India 2017

He's right, though.

Yeah. Been an absorbing game with a lot of fight by India since Day 1. Trouble is, we conceded a huge advantage at the beginning and it's been uphill skiing ever since.

I think Australia are favourites chasing 225 or under. 250 is about even.

A lead of 125-130 here tonight would be fantastic.

>100 run lead

Really absorbing game this...should be working but watching this instead...

 

[bigmitch]

well ****....cant believe we fluffed this so completely

Nah no way. India absolutely the favorites, probably by a decent amount, with 250. That's not an automatic chase in the best of circumstances. Come on now.

200+ would certainly be a challenging chase, but Ashwin's bowling hasn't inspired confidence. If he'd looked at his best/fittest, I'd definitely agree with you. Australia have handled him pretty well so far.

Guys the lead is just 100 and we could easily lose the last 6 wickets within 40 runs. Can we not get ahead of ourselves plz

This is dissapointing right now

Funnily enough, those first two deliveries post-Tea with a Lyon faster ball going for four byes and then a full toss going for a boundary just seemed to set the tone for this session. Oz look just to be waiting for stumps now.

Remember that Test in SL around 2010 when Laxman made a 4th innings hundred after we let them set us 250+ having had them 80-odd for 8? Just randomly came to my mind.

If I were you I'd stop making posts like this and go back and edit everything you said about Local Hero Shri

Yeah but what's the fun in thinking about a situation that won't even result in a competitive fourth innings?

Yeah well if anyone in the Australian side is up for a Laxman'esque chase in Indian conditions, it'll be worth watching.

Low point of this series is Rahane making >20. Still, if it keeps him in the side, fine

 

[Victor Ian]

Dammit - Now India is making my delusion theirs.. and succeeding

Correct. this is where the dropped chances off pujara really, really hurts. of course smith took the blinder straight after off rahul but we could have been batting by now.

i had this feeling that all it would take for us to lose it mentally was a day of application and luck by the indian batsmen combined with tough chances going down

Meh, I actually like Rahane.
