3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

May as well try for a run-out now as anything. After all, three of the dismissals in India's first innings were.

but seriously where was this spell before, i don't know, *the literal last hour of the test match*

Second time Wade has hit him. Pathetic.

I don't think it was Wade

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.

Yes, Paine does seem too stubborn/funky at times with tactics. Clarke had amongst the best intution about where the game was going.

so we're now into wickets required being the same or more as overs left

Worst post of the thread. Delete this before I report it.

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

What would've happened if he didn't do it? OTOH India seem closer to victory than Australia. But equally it's far more likely that one of those balls that went up in the air goes to a fielder if India were trying to win the game.

harsha had a line when pant got out

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

and one brain

Starc doesn't deliver when it matters

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Well, he took it.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It is because Aussies don't know how to spell beer.

yeah if they actually went for the win, then imo this test is done roughly an hour ago. it's a lot easier to survive on this pitch than survive *and* score quickly, especially if they decide to bounce you.

 

[Burgey]

Cummins casts a long shadow but Haze has been very good most of this series. Suspect this is too late though. Need two this over really
