***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[Zinzan]

Maybe 300-350 will be a decent first innings score after all?

Yeah, feels like 320's about par batting first. Been very up and down for a 1st day wicket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not looking a batting paradise anymore is it? There's definitely help for the spinners as well.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Wait'll he goes against the Windies in the Caribbean, that'll be a good gauge of whether he's made it.

I love Rahane. Does what I have in mind at times.

 

[Zinzan]

Fantastic match in store here. Been a really good day's cricket so far.

Excellent viewing from a neutral POV.

 

[CricAddict]

I love Rahane. Does what I have in mind at times.

Yes, he has done a good job in rotating the bowlers so far.

 

[vogue]

Just switched on to see it's time for tea...and the score line...208 for 6!! Missed a great start here by living in the wrong continent!

 

[harsh.ag]

Imagine if Nair had taken Warner first ball. 100 a.o.

Or maybe Renshaw would have been super careful and not played the rash drive and would be batting on 80 n.o. right now.

Smith knows who he's going to throw under the bus this time, if it is necessary.

 

[indiaholic]

Way more willing to attack than Kohli + a better slip fielder. If only he had the facial expressions..

 

[CricAddict]

India now have a decent pool of spinners in Jayant and Kuldeep who can both bat a bit. It is going to be very tough for Mishra to get back in the side.

 

[Shri]

Woul be so happy if we can get the rest for 230.

 

[Gob]

That Smith wicket would definitely hurt as he could've guided them for +350. Still though there is fare bit of turn so who knows this could go the Pune way. Just need the tail to add as much as possible and push this towards 300

 

[Gob]

I'd be very happy if the last four add 230 tbh

 

[Contra]

I'm worried about 2 things now

1) The Aussie tail hitting out and India losing their **** in the process
2) Hazelwood and Cummings making us collapse from which there is no way back on this pitch considering we bat last / are one batsmen short.

Good pitch this with something in it for everybody

I think SOK could be handy on this given the turn i'm seeing. If he can somehow get a couple to turn big, his straighter ones will all of a sudden do the gob

 

[social]

Can't believe he got out.

Dont think India could either

They looked shocked as ****

BTW, Kohli

If he's going to withdraw from one of the biggest games of his career, at least look like you're hurt

 

[vogue]

Just seen the highlights before play starts again. Some great bowling by India and another amazing century from Smith. Guy is good.

 

[Shri]

Kohli has trimmed his cheeks. Its a goatee now. Should come in handy when Rahane wipes his ass with it. Thats how you field at slips, you ****.
