I can't believe that India did not go for the win...

 

[srbhkshk]

Lmao I assumed India were 8 down or something.

The way our tail is, we are very similar to other teams being 7-8 down right now.

A bout of butterfingers has stopped that.

Paine holds onto the first one today and the match is done a while ago probably.

yeah pant was on 5, wasn't he?

 

[ajdude]

yeah I want tim paine to go in for round 2.

not sure if dcye would want someone calling him a dickhead in the shower but ok

 

[harsh.ag]

Why has the SCG got XXX written everywhere

 

[trundler]

Jesus, India had no right to get here. Once is a fluke but this is how a pattern with Paine's captaincy.

Not interesting at all. Plain wrong. Even gods come down to earth at times.

they did. but the bloke on strike has a busted hamstring, so they've stonewalled for the last three hours.

 

[veganbob]

curious

cheats up to no good

make them drop their pants and turn their pockets inside out

Yeah definitely suspicious

I feel that one thing which separates Clarke's captaincy with the likes of Paine is that Clarke always had a very good intuitive sense of when to change tactics. I feel like Paine often just lets things go a bit when they're not working. The game drifts occasionally under his leadership. Whereas Clarke's captaincy was always sharp and proactive.

In fairness that was the most difficult one.

But Australia clearly win if he holds on to the second one. Hell, I could see us pinching it if he held onto that one.....

Something like that.

It stings to think on day 1 we were making fun of Pant's keeping.

 

[Spikey]

teams should be allowed to decline noballs

They could have easily got this...excuses.



Seriously, great effort here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Second time Wade has hit him. Pathetic.

Castlemaine Lager logo (although calling it beer it too kind, more like carbonated urine)

 

[91Jmay]

Paine battering a bowler with more test tons than him is not quite the look he thinks it is.

 

[Shri]

harsha had a line when pant got out

india's chances of a draw rested on one batsman, one hamstring and one hand

 

[Gnske]

wow what a ball if only it was on the correct line
