***Official*** Australia in India 2017

taste it ****

That's not the only tasting you'll be doing.

 

[Zinzan]

**** I hope Starc comes out and hammers 40 in no time. Will make the game so interesting.

He's needs to. They can't afford to just let Ashwin land it where he wants. Was a little disappointed Warner didn't try to counter Ashwin's leg stump line with the switch-hit. He plays it well.

So what is it with Aussie keepers of late being poor with gloves and terrible with bat? Who is likely to get the nod next as Wade and Nevill clearly aren't good enough?

 

[Burgey]

This is the brain bowling at 70% capacity. Imagine what he would do at 100%!

I like Ashwin and he seems a nice bloke, but he's no Scarlett.

Nevill is a perfectly good keeper.

And lets not forget SOK hung around 80 balls in worse conditions trying to save the game. Even if Starc fails (and he has not failed yet with the bat this series) I dont think we can write this game off. I would say its still 50-50 simply because with less than 90 to get, even a few big shots can discourage and dishearten the bowling team.

Played a great hand in the first innings. And he wasn't bad with the gloves at all.

 

[adub]

punch, counter-punch for four days.

Great game is Test Cricket.

Could only be better if Starceh can bomb a few zacks and then SOK and Lyno put on 20 to win it.

Nevill is a quality glove man. Miles ahead of Wade

Oh come off of it.

There's absolutely no way it's 50:50. No way at all.

 

[indiaholic]

Nah not 50-50, we are favourites now..

 

[Shri]

Lucky to catch this test live. From depression to elation to depression to elation again as an Indian fan.

 

[Spikey]

First thing TPC has to do at Tea is make things right with the universe and move Lyon back to 11. Then punch Wade.

 

[cnerd123]

my fitbit tells me my heartrate is at 90bpm now and ive done nothin but sit at a desk all day and follow the game

 

[Tec15]

Trust Australia to screw up such a gilt edged chance of going 2-0 up. Wonder if India will go for similar pitches in the next two tests if they get through this successfully.

 

[anil1405]

Still 50-50 imo. We suck at finishing off the tail.

 

[Contra]

65-35 in India's favour, Starc absolutely key.

 

[Zinzan]

Massive favs - India $1.20 vs Australia $4.50

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nevill is a perfectly good keeper.

Trouble is he is a tailender with the bat. Need both these days and he clearly isn't up to it in one department.

Haha yeah. India most definitely favourites. It's nowhere near over though.
