Yes but by when?
That’s lunch tomorrow at the earliest, then you have to bowl for 2.5 days plus to take 20 wickets, and suddenly it’s your bowlers who are rat arsed heading to Sydney.

You’re always happy with runs on the board aren’t you?
The thing here is, if they keep going like this they’ll have to bat on to tomorrow which takes time out of the game, but if they put the foot down and get rolled they risk giving up a bit of a lead on the first dig and getting rolled cheap day five.
I suppose that’s the benefit of staying disciplined with the ball even on a flat deck. It puts the onus back on the batting side. I think India is batting with half an eye on Sydney here anyway tbh.
Edit: it’s unlikely there would be much of a lead to Australia, if any, given their batting line up but there’s a slight chance.

Dropped a sitter off Lyon.

Still feel people are being too premature on giving up on this game. Other than Khawaja and the elder Marsh, Aus have no proven batters out of time, and those two don't exactly inspire much confidence either. 450 will be a good score on this, whenever it arrives.

Put Lyon in his place.
Reminded him that in Victoria he's no more than a balding runt

Yeah I'm not too convinced Finch and Head can deadbat and grind a 40 strike rate innings

vicleggie is your typical Indian facebook cricket commenter tbh
If anything he'd be on the more sensible end of that group
