***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[BigCaine]

Big Wicket. We need to get them by 180-200 max. Anything above 150 is unchaseable on this pitch.

 

[Burgey]

Darsh ALWAYS looks stoned.

 

[vcs]

Really annoying how freely they've scored.

We cannot plod along like in the 1st innings, need to make our partnerships count for more in the 2nd innings when guys get in. There won't be more than a couple on this wicket in the 4th innings.

Yeeees... Rahane WAG

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Some catch that. Pure reflex

 

[morgieb]

Hopefully Marsh can bat. I think 200 is probably defendable, especially given some of the turn the Indians are getting, but you're never likely to defend under 150....

 

[stephen]

Marsh better bloody bat. The only excuse for him not to come out is if he's dead. And that didn't stop Bill Lawry. Can't have a Victorian make a West Australian look soft ffs.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Somehow need to get a lead of 120 as this pitch is going downhill fast

Yeah, it's been doing weird **** today. Not going to be an easy chase at all.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

What will be a good score here?

 

[Spikey]

Cool shaun marsh and glenn maxwell have to save us

 

[cnerd123]

**** man Rahane is such a great catcher at time yet he drops some dollies

Gotta stick with him in the slips and hope he develops over the years.


Actually might as well stick with him as captain too.

 

[Burgey]

Omg what if Wade and Maxwell bat together?

 

[Spikey]

(also i'm probably being tough but petey boy has gotta get his bat out of the way of that)

 

[anil1405]

Gone.

 

[Contra]

yes Ashwin!

 

[Burgey]

Omg what if Wade and Maxwell bat together?

Yay!

 

[indiaholic]

Rahane worth it just for the slip fielding. Not to mention jow good a captain he is.

He's dropped like a couple of catchall ones his whole career. Always been exceptional.

 

[Gnske]

I haven't seen Marsh bat that badly since the last time he had a bad back.

 

[Contra]

Nvm its tea

 

[Prince EWS]

So, did picking Marsh as a horses for courses thing work?

Numbers say no, but I think actually watching the series says yes. Australia would've lost the third Test if he Khawaja played instead IMO.
