*Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

[OverratedSanity]

Goes to show what I was saying before that India haven't necessarily got their lengths hugely wrong, it's the lines. Didn't target the stumps enough early on this innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Assuming Australia manage to land it on a length regularly, this is going to be fun this afternoon. Cummins will be an interesting prospect on this wicket.

If precedent is anything to go by it will roll out quite a bit.

 

[Spark]

bumrah getting carried away in this over

 

[Starfighter]

I'll take that. That was an appalling delivery.

 

[Gnske]

this is near impossible to bat on atm

This is a change I both welcome and adore for Australian pitches

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Bumrah spraying one down leg to Lyon, didn't get bat to it but runs are runs

 

[vcs]

Yikes, India in deep trouble by the sounds of how this pitch is (mis)behaving here...

It just highlights how absolutely crucial first innings runs are in Test cricket..

 

[stephen]

Our bowlers will just need to hit their areas well and we should have this.

 

[h_hurricane]

That was reminiscent of Ambrose dismissing Blewett many years back. You just have to hope as a batsman that you are not at the receiving end of it.

 

[Starfighter]

Our bowlers will just need to hit their areas well and we should have this.

Preferably fewer floaty half volleys on the legs than last innings.

 

[stephen]

A lead off 300 would be luxurious here.

 

[Starfighter]

Starc's batting very Broad-like.

 

[Gnske]

I think I hate Starc's batting technique more than any bowler out there.

 

[stephen]

20 runs is all I ask for here.

 

[Burgey]

It’s got to be the roller wearing off hasn’t it? Nothing else accounts for it playing this way after lunch all of a sudden.

Certainly makes you sIt up and take notice

JeeSUS I swear it was 20 mins ago I checked and Aust were 190/4

The commentary on the Cummins dismissal will make India feel uncomfortable with at least 245 to chase. Was that a one-off or is the wicket starting to play tricks? It seemed fine when I was watching Khawaja and Paine batting for a few overs earlier.

Pitch has looked unplayable this session. 150 looks challenging if this continues, much less 250+

India are gonna get the roller timing perfect for them at end of this innings and tomorrow morning.

Nice Garry.

 

[Burgey]

Three have bounced and one has rolled. It’s playing up crazy after lunch

Was low for like a single ball on the first day, then really didn't have low bounce issues until today iirc. Khawaja almost got bowled earlier by one of those. But yeah in one four balls are ****ing up.
